Yes I am in the rural area and not in USA. My English is not good enough to explain in detail but I’ll try.
My house’s electrical system is almost 50 years old. About 10 year ago, I have to “upgrade” the fuse box just so it can handle one single induction stove of 2500W (the fuse would blown immediately when it’s turned on).
Even a home charging kit of 7,5KWh is out of the question, let alone the more common one of 11KWh (in my country).
A 3KWh AC charger is theoretically possible, however it would take >20 hours to charge a typical 50KWh EV.
I don’t know how electrical grid work here, but I assume I can’t use more than 3300W at any given time (we use 220V and the fuse box said 15A, or is it 20A? I’ll have to double check). So if I were to charge an EV, I have to turn off everything else in the house? I can’t live without the Air conditioner. It’s a 800W unit that can do both cooling and heating.

I charge my ev on 240V 15A, so 3600W. It easily charges to 80% overnight
