A 6-30 NEMA connector still only supplies 30 amps. 30A x 240V = 7200W. Which is under 10hp. You're still looking at an awfully slow charge.

- wnissen 3y agoFor a road trip it's slow, for overnight it's plenty fast. A big battery is 100 kWh. Assuming one only uses the middle, from 20 to 80%, that's 60 kWh, which would charge in 8 hours and 20 minutes at that rate. The vast majority of folks spend at least that long in one location every day. How often do you tend to arrive home at 10 p.m. and leave before 6:30 a.m.?
- cyberax 3y ago7.2kW is about 30 mph charging speed on regular cars. So you'll gain around 300 miles of range over 10 hours. That's basically a full charge.
- dagss 3y agoMy bet is probably 90% (99%?) of home charging is done at 7.2kW or less. 7.2 kW is in the higher end, not "awfully slow". Myself I often charge at 3.6 kW.
