Altoona, WI | Any EV, no matter the brand or model, utilize simple single phase wiring. The guy up above talking about 3 phase, well, he has been seriously misinformed or off his rocker.
You can plug an EV into anything from a standard 115 volt household outlet, all the way up to 220 volt 50 amp outlets or hard wired into a 50 amp circuit. The 115 volt will gain you only around 9 miles of gain per hour. In the winter, it would be pretty much useless if you live up north since a fair amount of juice is required at times to warm the battery up in order to charge it.
I personally have a mobile charger that is plugged into a 14-50 outlet and my Model 3 charges at 35 miles of gain per hour. It is a Standard Range Plus model so it is limited to 32 amps. The higher end models will charge at 48 amps and would gain faster than mine does. Any farmer worth his salt ought to be able to instal an outlet to charge an EV. I see a lot of anti-EV claims on here about the "cost of upgrading" electric service for an EV, but the same clowns have probably ran a wire and an outlet for a welder at some point in their lives and an EV would utilize the exact same setup. | |
