It’s fun seeing someone with so little understanding of electricity spreading the misinformation someone else fed them.

Most houses existing panel have the capacity for a level 2 charger.

100amp or 200amp? I figured a main upgrade will be inevitable with the push to electrify more than the car in houses.

Depends, a 200amp nearly for sure has capacity. A 100amp likely does, but depends how electrified they already are, but many smaller houses that still heat with natural gas will have lots of space left in a 100 amp service

Strange, most homes where I live only have 20-50 amp services, neither being enough for a level 2 with all the other required panel loads.

News flash, codes are different in different places!

20amp service? Lol, ya if you live in an RV park an EV might not be a great option for you.

Townhouses and condos……

No. I’m in a condo, it is minimum 100 amp. Same in the townhomes I lived at
