As i was originally looking at leasing i ran the numbers that way. Based on the idea of a Electric flash vs a gas XLT/lariat ( hard to have real comparison as they have different mix of features across the various levels) the difference is about $100-$200 month less expensive for the electric vs the gas powered ( that difference will be bigger as gas gets more expensive ).

Would be a really good idea to go drive one.
A few things that stood out:
- When I had boots on, 1 pedal driving is amazing.
- Drives smaller than Lexus RX because of low COG and way smother over bumpers with IRS
- Very response and quiet, no turbo lag, feels better than 2500 Diesel
Some others
- Stays warm/cold while running errands because u can keep the AC and heat going. Cabin is warm in the morning for gf.
- Frunk power is awesome for fresh towels, cold drinks, and tool boxes (built in load floor is a divider)
Charging wise, I really don't think you need a panel upgrade.
You can...
1) Cheapest - $20, no panel or breaker change.
Convert household 2 plug 5-15 to 1 plug 5-20.
Instead of 1.3kw you'd get 1.8kw ... 86km or 16% a night.
2) Install a manual power split device that enables you to use hot tub/dryer OR Level 2 charger.
Dryer is 240V 30A so power split gets you 7.2kW, 65% charge a night.
3) Do an automatic power split charger (Emporia) or device (DCC9, BlackBox EMS) and sub panel to reduce or turn off charging when hot tub/dryer is enabled.
You could get the full 48A, full charge each night.
