We recently moved, and my wife just got a Volvo XC90 T8, so I need to figure out charging in the new house. The house was has a new panel with 200A service, so capacity should not not be an issue. What I am trying to decide between is:
Option 1:
A Tesla wall connector for my car (2021 Model 3 Performance) and low- to mid-speed connector for the Volvo, which charges at 3.7kW. Something like a Juicebox or Clipper Creek unit. The car came with an NEMA6-20 adapter, so even just a 6-20 plug would suffice.
Option 2:
A dual charging station, like this Clipper Creek.
After roughly pricing this out, I don't think there will be much of a price difference between the two options. So it seems like Option 2 is the best because it will be more straightforward, and it also somewhat future proofs the garage for whatever cars are next, though that likely won't be for at least 5 years. But I do want to bounce this off some of you to make sure there wasn't anything I am overlooking.
