The car comes with a 110V charger adapter. This is taking me too long to recharge. We are about to hire an electrician to fix a "multitude of woes" and in the process install a new 220V power outlet at the front of the garage to charge the car quickly. What are the most popular/best chargers, and what kind of electrical socket is required? If this is in a FAQ, pardon my ignorance. Thanks very much.
NEMA 14-50 outlet is a common choice. I was looking at a Lefanev cable. Options are almost limitless, as are opinions. I’m about to do the wiring myself, as finding an electrician is virtually impossible.
FWIW from a pedant... please don't call it 110V. Household circuits in the U.S. are nominally 120V, and are allowed to droop to 114V. 110V is out of spec.
And it isn't 220v. It's 240v. BTW, the Honda evse will run at 2x speed when connected to 240v power. You just need a custom cable/adapter to do this.
As stated there are a lot of Chargers available. I liked the Grizzl-E because it comes with adjustable output depending on the breaker it is connected to. This was important because I was limited to the supply breaker size. Charger is very well built and comes with a 3 or 5 year replacement warranty and its made in Canada.
I have a Juicebox 40 that is WiFi equipped. Works well. Charges car in just over 2 hours from 0% to 100%. I have it set to start charging at 3 AM using TOU.
