After 1 year with my model 3, I tell my friends/family that if they don’t have EV charging at home then an EV is not right for them. Of course the one exception is having EV charging at work. It’s just my opinion.
At home, I have a Tesla HPWC at 30A and I honestly think it is so fast. If a 110 v is available that could really help, too. I don’t particularly like the 110/15A and I have added a 110/20A adaptor for use at our summer cabin and it works out great. Takes about a day and a half to charge from near zero.
Exactly !! I added a 110/20A to keep with the car too. But I installed a HPWC 40A at my "cabin".
We drive around a lot near the cabin and the closest SC is 50 miles away.
My cabin has a better setup than my main home. It's much colder at the cabin (we use it year round but way more in the summer), no garage and so charging is out in the elements.
One other thing I figured is, if it's freezing rain and I'm charging outdoors. I have enough headroom I can wait for better conditions to charge. Especially with the issues of the frozen charge port. So I can charge say the next morning after we arrive. If it was on 120V I might not have a choice of when to plug in. Also it can get really cold, easily -10F, and charging on 120V in -10F could take forever.
There is a SC along the way but I prefer not want to have to stop for an hour when it's 11PM and we have another hour of driving to go.
And SC is way more expensive.
More amps does give more flexibility.
