From what I remember from my school days, if you need 200 amps to fully recharge your EV, then if your domestic system isn't three phase but normal 240v single phase then you are unlikely (without modification) to be able to charge at a rate greater than 30 amps (the rate usually set for cookers etc). It doesn't mean that if you need 200 amps you'll trip the breaker, all it will mean in reality is that it will take considerably longer to get 200amps worth of juice into your car, probably all night.
I read that Volvo are "claiming" that soon they will have an EV with a range of over 650 miles. It will probably be heavier than a Chieftain tank in order to carry the batteries necessary. Not sure the technology will ever be available at a sensible cost to achieve that. Have you seen how much the "Polestar" is selling for (and it's a chinese made volvo) OMG!
I will stick to my 20 yrs old Diesel Uber barge that can do over 1200km on a tank. It will still be going when all the Zöes have been crushed and recycled.
