[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you only installed a 240 volt outlet on the side of your house, like the one that I have for my clothes dryer? An electrician said he'd do that for me for a couple hundred dollars.[/quote] You still need an EVSE (what everyone calls a charger, though technically the charger is inside the car) that plugs into the outlet, and then a cable to connect that to the car. Depending on how far it is from the car to the outlet, you might need a very long cord. Don't think a regular extension cord will work with 30 or 40 amps of electricity, either, if you wanted to, say, run that to the car and then plug the EVSE into it there.[/quote]
