I currently drive a PHEV and the 15A L2 charger takes about 2 hours daily.
The Lightning with a 32A mobile charger will be fine with my truck as I don't drive much and will only top off.
The good side is that since the 32A Ford charger is a J1772, my PHEV can also use it.
Now I just have to find out how much to upgrade a 20A 240V sub panel to 50A.
Hoping it's just the breaker...
BTW: I don't believe in charging at high rates due to lower lifecyle & heating of the batteries.
Of all the years I have dealt with: Lead acid, NiCd, NiMh, Lithium rechargeables = lower charge rates equal longer life spans.
