It's getting close to delivery and I'm trying to get some estimates for installation of a charging outlet in my garage. The house has 100 amp service and I'm a little concerned that I'll be told that a the "standard" 50 amp circuit (NEMA 14-50) may be too big for my box (even if the car only draws 32 amps max). I wouldn't be surprised that I have to got to a NEMA 14-30. Outside of the slower charging rates, is anyone familiar with any other drawbacks of the smaller circuit?

P.S. And recommendations for an electrician in the southwest Chicago suburbs?
