I have one electrician that installed a 30 amp 220 outlet in my outdoor electrical panel and say I can use this with my mobile charger and an adapter just fine and he will install a gfi outlet incase moisture gets in. This would allow me to charge at 22miles/hour.
Another electrician told me he can install the wall charger with a 50 amps, and down grade to 40 if it gets overloaded. I have a 125 amp panel (the first electrician told me I am using 124 amps and would need to pay $5,000 to upgrade the panel to 200 amps). My question is, is it worth the $500 for the wall charger and $750 for installation, how fast will my car charge then? Is there anything I should know about using the first method which would only cost $150? I drive up to 60 miles/day.
