  You can make it work on 120V, it just uses ~20-30% more energy due to the overhead of running all the vehicle systems for so much longer while charging.

  Here is a video demonstrating the lidar killing pixels in a phone camera sensor.

  They also tried cameras on other vehicles but those were not affected, only the cellphone aimed directly at the lidar suffered damage.

  This will be another hurdle for electrification of all types as it will make less economic sense for the average home with substantial electricity price increases while fossil fuels prices are kept artificially low. The only silver lining is it might make solar/battery storage more attractive to have less reliance on the high priced grid electricity for those that can afford the upfront investments.

  Electric vehicles will be especially hit since you already have fast chargers like GM Energy charging 0.55-0.60c/kWh which ends up being more expensive than driving a ICE vehicle getting 20-25mpg at the current prices.
