    Why doesn’t your house meet the requirements out of curiosity? I think most dryer outlets are 220 and I’ve been told if you can run a dryer you can charge a car. My parents just use the standard 110v outlet and are happy.

      My panel is full. I’d have to have a new outlet at 220v added and upgrade the panel. Can you charge two cars on the same circuit?

        Yes you can charge two cars on one circuit, you just need a more advanced charger that can either load balance between two connectors simultaneously or switch between them when one’s completed. It’s probably cheaper to just have a single normal charger and alternate days they’re plugged in though. That’s what we expect to do once we switch our second vehicle over to EV in the next few years.
