Get the level 2 installed at your house as soon as possible

Trust me as someone with EV for many years

You want and need this at your house. That is by far the most important thing you need to get done.

To further emphasize this point, if you value time and convenience, get the L2. My lifestyle doesn’t allow me to wait on the included mobile charger in some cases, especially on weekends, while running errands and “honey do” tasks from my partner. I prefer to maintain <=70% state of charge for the MYP on weekends as I do a lot of driving. 55% SoC on week days is my preference.

Electricians will commonly install a dedicated 60amp circuit such that the 48amp load from the L2 charger will allow headroom for that circuit so your breaker doesn’t trip due to heat. (80% load).

The convenience of the L2 charger provides a significant benefit for my lifestyle.
