Volt now, M3 later, no garage! Help!

[RedModel3]

So here's my situation, and I'm trying to figure out what to do. The lease is up on my current car, and I'm thinking of buying a Volt until my M3 comes. I currently don't have a garage, and the closest my car can get to an outlet is about 24 feet. Any outlet will be outside, under a bit of a porch. My house was built in 1930, so I'm obviously looking at $$$ for wiring upgrade. What can I install to charge the Volt now, and the Tesla later? Just trying to reduce the need for more electrial work down the road. Electrical jargon is all Greek to me.

I would consult with an electrician, but I think your best bet would be to install a charging station such as a Clipper Creek or similar. Depending on the available space/amperage in your circuit box of your house you may be able to do as little electrical work as installing a new breaker and then wiring to a location on the outside of the house to put a NEMA 6-30 plug. That would give you a 24 AMP effective charger so you'd plug something like this Clipper Creek Portable Charger into it for the Volt and could also use it (with a Tesla supplied J1772 adapter) for your Model 3.

Hope that is of some help!
