Anything much older than that and it's going to have to be re-wired anyway to be brought up to code. b& On Oct 20, 2015, at 7:28 AM, tomw via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > "If you figure 3 miles per kWh for a typical EV, you'll recharge at about 10 > MPH from a standard 110 circuit." > > Charging at 3.3kW would indeed permit about 10 mph charging rate but I think > you won't find many 120V rms outlets that will supply the required 28A rms > current or 30A at 110V.
