Any chance you have an unused 30 amp dryer outlet or some other 240v supply easily available near the vehicle?Do you all have a home charger? if so, which one and would you recommend it? We have about 35-40 miles/day commute. In my home state, there are no incentives, so it will all have to come out of my pocket. Thanks in advance.
I do not have anything readily available, but I can get it run easily by an electrician. So, is the 220v, Chargepoint is the way to go? Is it possible to use Chargepoint using a regular 110v outlet? If I get 220v wiring done, what Amp. should I shoot for?Any chance you have an unused 30 amp dryer outlet or some other 240v supply easily available near the vehicle?
Otherwise you are looking at pulling new wire. I generally recommend a simple Clipper Creek unless you a connected device with lots of information to track etc.
If you want to reduce the frequency of charging, you will want 220-240V option so that you can comfortably completely charge your car overnight. The 110V option needs over 13 hours to do a complete charge.I do not have anything readily available, but I can get it run easily by an electrician. So, is the 220v, Chargepoint is the way to go?

Are you able to use the delay/time functions of the car with the "dumb" charger? One of the electricians I had out recommended a dumb charger and just set the time/delays in the car....snip...
In terms of EVSE - that's a personal choice and a financial choice. I have a very dumb 40amp EVSE from Mustart that you can get on Amazon. It does not have wifi, delayed charge, time of day settings, or history that you can pull. So if you need and want data, you should look at something smarter - Clipper Creek, Juicebox, or Chargepoint. You will find owners of all three on this forum. Also you do not need a 40 amp or 50 amp EVSE unless you are planning to add other electric vehicles to your fleet that have higher on board chargers.

yes the charger should support whatever the car can do. I haven't done any personal testing with the Mustart as I don't have tiered time of day electrical rates, thus never spent time on it. I think a couple of others have posted that they have Mustart, so perhaps search on Mustart and see if they are using the car features.Are you able to use the delay/time functions of the car with the "dumb" charger?

Thank you for the detailed information. As of now, I do not have tiered electrical rates either, but does JLR care what type of charger I am using or is there something in the warranty agreement that can potentially void warranty?yes the charger should support whatever the car can do.

I recommend the ChargePoint 32a that is NOT hardwired. This way it's easy to move it or replace it.I do not have anything readily available, but I can get it run easily by an electrician.

A regular 110/120v 15A outlet takes WAY longer than 13 hours to do a complete charge. That set up can add about 1% per hour to the battery so a full charge from empty would be more like 80-90 hours. A Level 2 240v 32A EVSE like the ChargePoint adds about 8% per hour, so it would take about 12 hours to charge an empty battery.The 110V option needs over 13 hours to do a complete charge..
Good catch. Didn't mean to use the L2 hours. Meant to illustrate that 110 charging is not a great option for home. thanks.A regular 110/120v 15A outlet takes WAY longer than 13 hours to do a complete charge.

Considering that we have people from all over the world here, it would be interesting to know where you are located. For instance, for this kind of question, in Quebec, we recommend to buy local : EVDuty and Flo are made locally, very good service, design for very cold climate (important for the cable).Do you all have a home charger? if so, which one and would you recommend it?

Looking at the enel-x website it looks like it's been replaced with a new model. Looks a little sleeker. Has a built in cord holder. Now has the ability to put a physical lock on the plug. I think Costco got a big lot of them to clear out.I bought the JuiceBox Pro 40 from Costco last month. Looks like Costco doesn't sell the item now.

Even though, based on your stated typical use, you could actually get by using the crappy little 110v ‘charger’ that came with the car, I wouldn’t recommend it. Buy a 220-240v one and have a dedicated circuit installed. The max the I-Pace can handle is 32A, (requires a 40A breaker), I would install a 50A, which will give you a little ‘extra’ capacity for the future use.Do you all have a home charger? if so, which one and would you recommend it?
