hah, I've heard of EV owners up here in the great white north wearing coats, gloves, and caps to extend their range in cold weather

@Gigem 110V is only truly suitable for PHEV. BEV really needs a 220V L2 charger for most people.

My FIL only charges his BEV ( Chevy Bolt) via a 110v plug.

How much does he drive on a weekly basis? If it's low enough, you can do 110V in a BEV. I think "most" BEV owners would prefer installing a 220V charger if for no other reason than never worrying about range anxiety on a heavy driving week.

He doesn’t drive anymore, but when he did I’d say he probably drove about 100-200 miles per week. He’d just plug it in every 2-3 days and let it charge overnight. Sometimes he would leave it plugged in for 1-2 days at a time. He was under the mistaken belief that if he charged it at L2 it would degrade the battery.

At 3-4 miles of range per hour at 110v, he probably was fine.  The Bolt has a fair bit of range.  He could drive an entire week on a single charge easily, and then leave it plugged in for 2-3 days and be fully recharged.  

A PHEV should do fine on 110v.
