1 year ago32A at 240V is plenty of power. You will gain roughly 40-50 km of range per hour of charging.
If you ever plan on charging at other places without a charger (friends/relatives/work/campsites/etc) then a portable charger could be useful.
As others have said:
- Make sure the portable charger can handle that amount of power. If you end up charging at 10A, then you will be getting ~14km of range per hour of charging. This can still work, but is less ideal since your vehicle will need 10+ hours of plug-in time per night.
- Wear on a plug/socket can matter. Also, doing this inside of a garage is less risky than outside exposed to elements.
It might be costco or some other discount gas club
Taking the EPA estimate on an F-150 when there’s headwind and driving 75mph or driving in slush is very optimistic. 18 mpg makes the costs roughly equivalent at $2.87. I’ve seem mostly 18-20 mpg
