I’m looking at EVs or PHEVs and was wondering what I need at home. I know I can charge with a standard 110 outlet, but what about a 220? Would I be able to charge directly from it or do I have to get a charger installed?

Thank you

    Wow, yeah, first, everything you’ve heard is wrong. The lemmings will tell you that you need a 50A circuit to an RV park socket with costly 6/3 Romex with a pointless neutral wire “oh and then you’ll need a service upgrade” LOL NO.

    However Technology Connections has the video for you. I like the part where he’s waving around yellow 12/2 Romex (around 32:55). That basically summarizes my position on it: that most people are afraid of buying an EV because they think they’ll need a service upgrade to power it.
