For the X with 48A onboard charger what's the benefit of getting the new HPWC vs. getting a NEMA 14-50 done for $350. Please help me understand. thanks!
The UMC can supply a maximum of 40A, whereas the HPWC has the capability of supplying a maximum of 80A (but can supply your X with 48A). Doubtful, that the additional 8A is going to make a bit difference for your overnight charging needs.
I have been charging on a 14-30 at 24A for over 60,000 miles with 80 and 160-mile commutes.
