Justin Adkins Posted September 15, 2014 at 12:29 AM Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 at 12:29 AM I've been a 2014 Energi owner for about a month now. I've been using the 120 V charger that came with the car. However, I'm interested in getting the 240V charger. What are my options? It seems to be that the best route is to go via Best Buy and Geek Squad. From my understanding, I can purchase a 240V station for around $800 and have that mounted on the side of my house. My other option is getting a 240V outlet installed and then purchasing an adapter to covert my current 120V to a 240V. Which one of these would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

HotLap Posted October 8, 2014 at 08:17 PM Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 at 08:17 PM Justin, did you ever get your 220v installed? I went with a ClipperCreek 40AMP 220v about 6 weeks ago and couldn't be happier (I had an electrician come out and install a 220v outlet so I can plug in my ClipperCreek and can unplug and take with me if the occasion ever arises (vs. a hard wired install). Really enhances the enjoyment of the FFE by not having to worry about charge levels for my in town driving - due to the faster charging, Its generally full when I'm ready for my next errand, gym visit, etc.!

Volleyguy Posted October 13, 2014 at 10:12 PM Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 at 10:12 PM We went with a 40A Clipper Creek which is rebranded to Sun Country in Canada but the hard wired one. The salesman recommended future proofing and we did somewhat. We installed wire heavy enough for at least a 60A in the future. Going beyond that would be quite expensive like changing the panel etc. to 200A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge0001 Posted October 16, 2014 at 11:44 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 at 11:44 PM As others have said the luxury of shorter charge times is well worth it in my mind! 0 to full in about 2 hours is awesome for a heavy city driver.
