So hopefully I’ll be taking delivery of my LR Model 3 here in the next 30 days or so, and I’m wondering opinions on just how important it is I install a home charger. I live in a condo here in Monterey, CA. The HOA has been tossing around ideas to install EV chargers..... obviously I’d rather install my own wall unit directly in my car port. That comes with complications though; breaker panel would need updating, which would be the easy part. Unfortunately, my car port is about 150 away from my breaker panel, and under a very wide parking lot and driveway.

I plan on finding a solution to this within a year or so. Question is; Is it really that important? How often do you think I will need to Supercharge given these parameters. I plan on driving 30 miles on average per day, and leaving sentry mode on for 8 hours a day to start. Is it realistic to think I’ll only need to charge every 5-7 days?

thanks in advance
