"Slightly" rather than "much".
It's a non-issue being talked-about by people looking for a reason to complain. There are real problems with EV's, this would be item number 432 on a prioritised list ...
I was talking to a workmate with a BYD, she & her family are living in a unit while they have a major renovation on their house (that'll include a solar+battery system). They can get a charge relatively easily BUT if they want to use a Tesla charger they pay something like double the rate; they're finding it painful as a result, the best approach they've found thus-far is to either pay the extra money for the Tesla chargers or to "go shopping" at a not-too-far-away shopping centre on the weekend for an extra hour while getting a top-up there.
Which underlines how it may be perfect for some people (eg. the other 3 workmates who've bought one recently & who are very happy as they have chargers installed at home), but others certainly need to look into their options before taking the leap. But then, no Widget suits everyone ...
