Hi Guys,
I am getting a MYP delivered next week and wanted your advice on the charger and battery percentage. I work from home, so driving the car on weekdays is unnecessary. I will use the car on weekends to take the family out and probably use about 50-60 miles per day on Saturdays and Sundays.
I plan to charge the car in the garage, so the cost-effective option seems to be installing a NEMA 14-50 plug and using the mobile charger. We got a quote to install the NEMA 14-50 at $350 + the charger for $230 = $580. The quote for installing the TWC is $425 + the charger for $425 = $850.
Here are my questions.
- Other than charging speed, are there any differences in using the TWC vs the mobile connector?
- What state of charge should I set the MYP to if I only drive on the weekends? (Battery degeneration is my biggest concern as I plan to keep the car for a while.)
- We sometimes get thunderstorms here in Dallas, do I really need to unplug the car even with the 50amp breaker?
Thank you for the help in advance!
