I haven't found any threads on home charging, so thought I would start one. Using electricity, and therefore supplying it to a vehicle, is pretty new stuff for us Americans. We're plugging in our cars to charge. And, now, we can draw power, from the car, when needed inside the house. I think some of us, moi included, need a primer on power. A first question might be this: what is needed to install a 240-volt charging system in the house? Or, in other words, is 120-volt converted, by a transformer, to 240-volt or must a totally new system need to be installed? I've got lots more questions, but this is a good place to start, I think.
we've been using electricity in our area for a hundred years. the pip charges on 120 volts, but if you want to buy a quick charger, (90 minutes from empty instead of 3 hours) you run a 240v line by installing a double breaker in your circuit box, connecting the black to one terminal and the white to the other, and connecting to a 240v outlet. nothing could be simpler.
