This is called Level 1 charging, and assuming you already have basic electric service in your garage, it’s the cheapest way to go. Unfortunately, it’s also the slowest. Depending on the vehicle and its battery capacity, it can take anywhere from eight to nearly 24 hours to bring its power cells up to a full charge.

level 2 is a 220/240 volt setup which can charge faster - but what I dont see is how many AMPS.  if you have a standard 200 amp circuit in your home - you can probably chose between heat and AC, drying your clothes and charging your car.  God forbid you plan to cook with the oven as well.  you can probably turn off the hot water tank as well to make sure you do not exceed your 200 amp circuit.

Your home likely pulls either 100 or 200 amps of current. Most EV chargers pull 30-50 amps of current. If the EV charger were the only thing on the whole panel you’d be fine either way. In reality, other appliances need amps, too

If you have a 100 amp panel forget it, and 200 you may still watch the lights dim if you wash/dry clothes while cooking when the AC/heat is running.
