cool, but you didn't answered the question... Why do you assume you would need to charge at home at such a high rate?Thanks for posting the chart. My point exactly.
To add and additional 100 amps of service to a home in many cases will require a complete new electrical service entrance, including the electrical suppliers equipment.
100 amp service will provide 24 kw per hour or 24 kwh.
250 miles a day comute sounds brutal!It is because I now only drive the Tesla about 14k miles per year which is just a few hundred miles each week so only about 8 hours of charge time each week. Most nights I plug it in so I start out with a 200 mile range each day. If I drove it 25,000 miles a year I’d go with the faster 80 amp charger(100amp breaker) that I have at our northern MN home. If I was driving 35,000 miles/year like I used to or more than 250 miles a day a few times a month, I’m not sure I would want electric unless it had something like a 350 mile range which the new version of my Tesla does.
My wife drives a Range Rover diesel and I’ll always have to have something like that for towing. The current BEV’s like the Ford F-150 Lightning have about 1/3 the towing range of our Rover. Unacceptable in my book especially when I’ll be dragging a 25’ boat 1900 miles south each fall and back north again each spring. In my diesel I can do the drive comfortably in 3 days and in a Lightning it would take at least 5 days and I’m not sure the chargers available for Fords(non-Tesla) are currently spaced properly where even 5 days would be enough.
I drive 60, 4 days a week and think it's too much! The lakes I use my boat on are only 7 and 14 miles away!
