The $12000 charge from the utility is a "fuck off" fee.
It's not like the next person to build a house in the area is going to pay for a new distribution transformer. That's not how things work.
He made the right call in just getting the 30A charger. Even if he drained it down to almost nothing, he'd still be fully charged overnight.
The average Canadian commute is less than 100km round trip, even a 15amp charger can do that overnight (and it's better for the battery). People's fixation on recharging their car is the result of shit reporting and anti-electrification propaganda. No one complains that they can't charge their phone in under 5 min, why should a car be any different?
I do complain about this. I have other devices with swappable batteries. I leave one on the charger at all times for instant recharging. I would like this on my phone too, but a car would be impractical.
