For ages, this writer used a gasoline-powered pressure washer, firm in the belief it ran better and more reliably than any cheap electric plug-in unit ever would. It is estimated recharging takes about twice as long as discharging, though I tend to just simply plug the thing in overnight; it’s always full the next time it is needed.

It doesn’t matter if you plug your EV into a charger that supplies more power than your car can accept, the car will sort it out. Equally, if you plug it into a 350kW charger, the car may not be capable of accepting that much charging power. But for home EV charging, all EVs will use the same Type 2 plug.
