If you have an electric stove, you know it’s 240V, right? Your clothes dryer? 240V. You AC? 240V. Your electric service panel? 240V (they split into two phases of 120V).
Meanwhile, high voltage lines are like something like 750,000V…so, not even remotely similar.
A L2 charger can be a game changer. My Prius Prime has only 25 usable miles on the battery. For the first 2 years I only used a 120V charger. During that time, I’d get about 1000 to 1200 miles per tank (10 gallons or so of gas). Now, with my Level 2 charger, I’m getting anywhere from 1800 to 3000 miles per tank of gas. The difference is that on weekend (or evenings), I can plug in a very quickly add a meaningful amount of charge. In just 20 minutes I can go from 0 miles to say 6 to 8 miles, so enough to go run an errand and not need gas.

If you can, make the update.
