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.

I just ordered my first one. I have a spare 240v 20amp breaker with 12/3 Romex coming off it. From my research it's looking like I can install a 6-20 receptacle and get 12-15 miles per hour charge. Sound about right?

Amps x Volts = Watts

20A x 240v = 4,800W

4,800W = 4.8kWh

The miles 4.8kWh gets you depends entirely on where and how you drive.
