How many amps do I need for home charging?

Reviewer consensus

A 40A charger delivering 9.6kW adds roughly 30 miles of range per hour for most EVs, which covers the vast majority of overnight charging needs. A 48A/11.5kW unit charges faster but typically requires a 60A circuit and hardwiring. If your electrical panel is limited, a 40A plug-in model is the more forgiving choice.
