So, remember that story going around with someone's Kia or Hyundai needing over forty hours to charge? I thought that was weird, but admittedly I haven't kept up with how long it takes to charge a modern EV. When we had the Leaf, it was around 20 hours on level 1 which didn't matter as we always used level 2, which was 8 to 12 hours.

So, just got done putting in a proper charger rather than using the portable, since the Chevy portable kinda sucks, so we now have a level 2 Emporia charger. When I set up the app, I set it to 40Amp breaker even though it's on a 50 Amp as I'm a little paranoid. This does mean it will be slower than the max, but looking at EvoCharge's website, I think it'll work just fine, 8 hours. And if'n we used level one, 46 hours. Wow, it takes a long time now at level 1, I guess the batteries are just that big now.
