I'm feeling really dumb about asking this question, but not finding the answer anywhere.
If I have an electrician come to install a 240v outlet (we already have 240 to the house for the dryer, just need an outlet closer to the car), can I then just plug the car into the outlet and it will charge at 240? Or, do I need to also purchase a charger in order to charge at 240?
Currently, I just trickle charge at 120, but with Christmas lights plugged in, have been tripping the breaker leading to some serious range-anxiety-filled days. So, thinking would be good to have the outlet anyway, but not if it also requires shelling out the ~$500 for a new charger.
