    Most people aren’t going to need to top up more than 30-40km worth of charge every night anyways. So that’s probably only a couple hours on 15amp.

      And this is how you say you don’t know about electricity without saying it. That 15amp will get throttled by the charger and or the car by about 15-20% from the get.

      Not to mention that in addition to the above. Not only is the cost difference negligible between amperages, having a much higher rated plug in the garage or in my case on the side of the house will come in handy for most people at some point. I went for the highest I could get in the timeframe and cost parameters I was working with. I’d actually love to get higher but I don’t know how much more I can get without having another line from my power company and going with DC which would be awesome but isn’t worth the cost and the hassle (at the moment).
