I have a Nessan leaf, so I have EV charger 32A 6.6Kw J1722 at my garage (with a 60A cable connected from my basement panel). With recent good news on Canadian delivery on Model 3, I start to think which will be my charge options:
1) Don't do anything, the Tesla shall come with the converter, so I can charge the Tesla anyway. Pro: Cost 0, god knows in couple of years, neat non Tesla car appears, J1722 is kind of universal connector. Con: It shall not charge the car in full speed, with Ontario discounted power rate is from 7PM - 7AM, I may not be able to fully charge if I purchase long range version.
2) Install a Tesla wall charger hard wired at 40Amp. Pro: Tesla original, looks nice, could fully charge the car just enough time to utilize discounted Ontario power rate. Con: cost couple hundred installation + wall charger >=1000$, since I have already claimed Ontario charge rebate, I shall not get it again.
Existing Tesla owner, any suggestions?
