Thanks! That’s really helpful. We’re definitely getting a few quotes, but I wanted to get some info beforehand so I have a better idea of what’s involved.

It’s the amps that matter more than the volts. I’ve got a 120V 30A charger, and it’s perfect for overnight charging on my Volvo.

120V at 30A is about the same as 240V at 15A.

I live in an old neighborhood, and we just went with a 120V too. It’s slow, but we have enough range for daily driving.
