The average level 1 charger overnight is enough for the average driver, except on excursion days, then a fast charge will top you up enough.
If you live in a cold environment a level 2 charger can be beneficial because the battery heaters that need to be on when charging don't have to run as long
True, L2 charger is much cheaper than a heated garage.
