I'm currently using my dryer outlet with a 30 amp breaker to charge. I've been able to tell the car to charge at 36 amps without tripping it. That said the location sucks (I have to back into my garage and then leave the door into the house open for the cable) it just happened to be what I had available. We don't use the outlet for the dryer as we have one that runs on natural gas, but I'm not sure if it would be worth relocating it.
My home was just built this year and I have a 200amp service breaker on the wall outside of my garage. It should be simple enough to come through the outside wall and into my garage with a 50 possibly even 100 amp breaker and dedicated line. So the question would it be worth it? The Volvo charger I got says it's only rated to 40 amps, but I was thinking I should keep it in the car for emergencies. I was looking at something like this and it peaked my interest. https://wattzilla.com/products/wall-wattz.htm
Is anyone using something like this? What are you all doing to charge? Was it expensive?
Sorry I know already put up another topic for discussion tonight, but I felt this was un related enough to warrant its own post. Thanks!
