Plug into a normal power socket like most EV users do.

Edit: it occurs to me that the US is 120V. This can’t help.



Yep, 120V countries are harder for at-home charging. Japan and USA as the two biggest ones.

My car is charging from a normal socket at 2.7kW right now. I could go up to 3.6kW, but the included charger only goes up to 12A and I really don't need the extra charging speed.

I get 100-150km charge overnight easily. 5% -> 100% is ~17 hours and I rarely go under 40% in everyday driving even though I charge only to 80% to save the battery as per manufacturer instructions.
