Now, there are some multi-voltage devices they could choose, but that is not the norm in the industry, either.

It's not as bad in places where a 220-240vac socket is the norm.
Yes, I want them to supply a Level 2 charger. 7+ hours for 30 miles is ridiculous now. Can supply an adaptor to a regular 110 plug if someone doesn't have a Level 2, but at this price and battery size, a Level 2 should be standard. Particularly if they're going to cheap out and limit charging speed to such a low level.
