If you can upgrade your service panel for $2,000 I'd say, 'do it!'
I live in Seattle. Here that'll cost you more like $6,000.
Modern appliances don't waste much energy, but EVs require quite a lot of kilowatts to charge in a reasonable timeframe.
If you're already on the EV bandwagon, what's another two or three thousand?
Get at least a Blink charger installed in your house that will upgrade it's seller value.
Recently purchased a used 2018 Model 3 and wanting to install a home charger. Because I live in an older home the electrician says that I have no more 220v circuits available. My question is whether I can install a 120v system and still keep battery healthy, with the understanding that charging will be slow.
Upgrade your panel. Have solar panels added to your house if it's within your means.
The sooner you can stop relying on coal fired energy the sooner you'll stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution.
A new panel here would cost me more than $5k if I didn't do it myself. $2k? Do it!
If you don't want to shell out for a dedicated Tesla charger ($500+) at least get a generic charger installed like a Blink. It'll charge my Model 3 from 0 to 100% in 11 hours. 1/6th the time a 120V charger will take, plus it'll work on any EV.
