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

    And that means buying the cheapie plug-in travel unit is rather foolish, since the cost of that + quality non-melting socket + mandatory GFCI breaker is more than the cost of many hard-wired wall units, which will give a better experience overall. Further, the wall unit can be configured to ANY speed, and so can work on most any service panel. Even if your panel is 100% subscribed, a few hundred dollars more gets you a clamp ammeter kit so certain wall units can auto-adjust EV speed so panel overload is impossible.
