Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

It's just not something you would normally need to change. Maybe you will be able to change it on the dash.

If not, I'd consider that deliberately crippling a useful feature.

The consequences for me would be inability to make a change when away from home because my device with the app won't leave the house.

Probably, I have a 100 AMP sub panel in the garage and a 240 outlet expressly for this purpose.

I already have a L2 charger in my garage. A L1 isn’t sufficient for how much I drive, but definitely for some people it will work.

We have a 30 amp plug on our house for when my son comes to visit in his RV. I’m thinking I could use that for my Slate. Will have to do some more checking on that. This will be my first EV.

It should be possible, but you've got to research chargers. You need to be able to set the charger to allow charging at no more than 24 amps, and the ones where that was possible I looked at needed to be hard wired, which is apparently a permit and electrician job. If you do go that route, it's possible your location or power company will have rebates that may pay for part or all of it.

A standard 30 amp RV outlet is 120 volts and therefore cannot support a Level 2 EV charger. All Level 2 chargers are 240 volts. With an adapter you could probably connect a Level 1 charger but would be limited to 12 amps.

Hmm, yeah you are right. I'd seen stuff about asking for an RV outlet to be installed instead of an EV outlet because of electricians up charging for EV, but that must have been about 50 amp outlets.
