Hi,
My i3 arrives to California in 3 weeks. I am considering different charging options. From what I understand it will come with a portable cable charger at 120V which takes 20 hours for a full charge.
It sounds like the European cable that comes with the car runs at 220v and can charge the card in about 12 hours?
Euro Charger: Maximum has now been measured to 11.5A (2500W) @ 220v
if I wanted to avoid an EVSE to save money, could I simply put a 220V outlet on the garage wall and buy the Euro cable? Anyone know how to order one? My US salesperson was lost. This assumes it would make sense cost-wise.
