There are cases where this is true, but "I'd need to rewire it" is often not actually the case.

This is why I'm so focused on spreading the knowledge of lower-power charging circuits. If you've got two free breaker slots and just 16 amps of overhead you can have a L2 charger to drive 100 mi/day.

This is what I mean by "people don't realize the electricity isn't special"

*many* electricians have only ever installed 50A circuits and presume that's what you need to charge a car. So if you've been given any advice like that, please understand it's wrong.

⚫️ i only ever charged on a regular 120v outlet for 5 years and it was entirely fine for my driving with only occasional top-ups at a fast charger honestly!

I just found there are Type 2 EVSEs (for 220V countries) that can be configured as low as 6A!

Alex, have you heard anything recently about the electric meter taps that can deliver 240v right at the meter base? I heard about them a few years ago, seemed the PERFECT solution to houses with old, undersized panels.
