Hey everyone,
Just bought my first EV a little less than a month ago (used 2014 Leaf SL). I'm looking to install a 240V outlet in my garage, but that's as far as I have gotten cause I need help with the stuff below lol
1. Should I install a 20-AMP, 30-AMP or 50-AMP Outlet?
2. Should I get a 16A or 32A charger? I'm seeing a ton of these on Amazon even though they all seem to be the same with some extra twist.
3. Can too much AMPs destroy anything or should the charger be able to control that?
4. Is a DC Quick charge something that could be installed in a home? Not needed, but just curious because I can't find much on it.
The outlet is going to be installed about a foot away from the breaker, so I figured I should future proof this since it shouldn't be much of a difference in cost, but let me know what you think. The house is newer and built last year. Images below
Thanks in advance!
