dgpcolorado said:One question, do your 240 V outlets have 15 Amp breakers or 20 Amp breakers? If the former you would get 12 A x 240 V = 2.88 kW charging. If the latter you would likely get 15 A x 240 V = 3.6 kW charging (but it is only ~85% efficient, so the charge to the battery is lower). Depends on how the supplied Panasonic EVSE is regulated though. The folks in Europe would know more about that since I believe they have 240 V Panasonic EVSEs supplied with their cars.
Hi dgpcolorado,
The standard home power circuit here is 240v/10A with a 20A breaker on it. For heavy duty circuits, the rating is 15A but not sure what rating breaker they get as we don't have any 15A circuits installed. Higher ratings are direct-wired like our electric oven which has a 40A breaker on it. We have a sub board in the garage and there is a 32A breaker on the main board for it, so I expect a 15A outlet could be installed there. Really, the garage only has lights and door opener connected.
davewill, good point about the UK, I will see what I can find out there...
