Think 120 - can't be above 30 amps. Turn on a range top or oven on an electric stove and you exceed what the car draws. 300M people don't leave their electric stoves on 14hrs a day. The notion that the electric car can't draw above 30 amps is based in flawed assumptions. While they can be charged from a 15 amp wall outlet, that's a very slow charge that will take a day or more to bring a fully discharged electric to capacity--it's intended as a convenience feature, not the normal means of charging. The standard charge is 220v using a dedicated circuit and special connector that can deliver up to 80 amps. Some models also have a DC fast charger that typically works at several hundred volts and several hundred amps. The fast charger generally requires a separate hookup from the utility company. Many fork lift truck chargers run off 3 phase power.550 or 600 volt primary. |
