Dual chargers aren’t an overkill if someone only charges at home andhas very cheap time of use charging. They can charge fully in the limited cheap charging hours.

With my 48a output 11.5 kWh charger it can take me over 10 hours to replenishe after a 225 mile round trip. With dual chargers and a EVSE capable of delivering 80 amps or 19.2 kWh‘s it would take probably only 6 hours.
The first part of my post talks about dual chargers.

The second part of my post is talking about dual charge ports!

There is a very big difference!!! and yes, I generally charge at 80 A, but sometimes I de-rate it to match my solar production so I understand the difference very well!

I just reread your posting. I misunderstood and didn’t realize your were referring to dual ports aka ports on both sides of the truck in your second part of your post.

It was just a fake port to match the driver's side, they got rid of that for 2024.
Thanks for that clarification. Seems like an odd design choice...
