Nobody seems to be realizing just how flexible the requirements are if your car will consistently charge overnight. That is, except @A2be and @ngogas . I have happily existed for almost five years with a 208/30:connection that typically delivers 199/23 due to other loads on the same board. When I first bought my S I was very worried that this would be unacceptable.
Realistically I always can obtain a 100% charge if I really need to have one. Five years ago that did happen because Superchargers were scarce. Now I almost never charge above 80% because a stop at a Supercharge location is usually a biochemical necessity anyway. Further I very rarely have an overnight stay without a Destination Charger and when I do there are almost always other charging solutions available.
That is simply to say that it is a very rare EV owner who really needs much more than 208/30, and that only because @ngogas is quite right that living with only 110v is not very practical. ~24 hours for a full charge is tiresome, even longer if you have cold weather.
