I bought an Ionic 6 and there was a “free” charger. After I got the official quote for $1700 installation after the rebates I’ve decided to shop around for my own charger and electrician. I will have plenty of time to charge at home but my level 1 charger still doesn’t keep up with 30-40 miles a day.
My question is, what is the advantage to using a hard wired charger versus a portable level 2? The portable chargers seem to cost less and I can travel with them if needed.
Not answering your question, but…
When you say Level 1 isn’t keeping up with your 30-40 miles a day, I know the Level 1 charger my Ioniq 5 came with has a setting to switch between 6A, 8A, 10A, and 12A. Make sure you’ve set yours to 12A as this should net you ~1.1kW after losses. That should get you 40miles of charge in 10-12 hours.
