you must be driving great distances if you're charging at 32A? i've got 240V 40A and I trickle charge at at most 10A overnight, and it's way way beyond adequat

i've got 240V 40A and I trickle charge at at most 10A overnight, and it's way way beyond adequate. i don't drive super far daily...but easily could still.
- NegativeK 2y agoAt the moment, I'm WFH -- charging at 32A lets me utilize my solar panels instead of selling the energy to the power company at a discount and then buying it back at full price. It's also a bit more efficient, since the car's electronics consume 300W continuous during the charging process, which means shorter charging times use less total power. But as I mentioned in my comment way above, 120V12A works, but 240V32A is notably more convenient.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoyep, agreed. didn't realize the power company pricing dynamics would make it preferable: that's interesting!
