About how many miles added per hour are people getting with the Chargepoint flex (assuming 40 AMPS being delivered from 50 AMP breaker) plugged into Nema 14-50? ty
I gave in and had the wall charger installed on a 60 amp breaker. This time of year means more trips and I was finding that I wasn't recharging fast enough during the night (I get a discount for off peak charging). First charges are avg. 25 miles/hr added.
The truck barely fits in the garage and walking around it can be a pain. Is my assumption correct that the nozzle receptacle is simply for storage/convenience? Any one think there is any problem with this set up (i.e., not returning the nozzle to the receptacle)? TY

It's mostly to stop it from being knocked onto the ground, because that's the easiest way to end up with a broken one. You could get another holder for that side of the garage, any J1772 holder will work.
