Yeah, running a 240V 50A outlet in a garage in most homes would be fairly cheap, since it's usually not going very far from the main panel. So might as well do it if you're already spending a huge chunk of change on an electric car.

The last time we hired an electrician to run about 30 feet from a panel to a new 50A sub-panel across the shop for a project was around $800 IIRC.

    I don't disagree with this, but we have a detached garage and got quoted over $6k to retrench an upgraded line to it. I know he mentioned this condition in the video, but our driveway is so tight it would be an obstacle to put a charger just on the outside of the house.

    In the meantime, we started using a regular outlet in the garage with the basic charger that came with our Ioniq and after 2 years have never needed anything more. Never even used a public charger.
