for a portable L2 charger, do I want L1 compatible and 16A or up to 32 A and not L1 compatible? it's mainly for emergencies so...

in an emergency, I'm more likely to have a L1 plug, right?

but at sasha's house I might use to actually charge, so...

Can you link what you're looking at? -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 06:43
Get the one that has both. Portable L2 is great (it would make it convenient for me to take a charger to my parents house where they have a plug) but -- (edited) - oblique Jul 12, 06:24

  - so with option A you're topping out at 3.8kW, which would take you from (say) 10% to 50% in ~6.5 hours. 3.25 with option B - Reagen Jul 12, 06:18 3
    - my car came with an L1. in theory I could carry both. I guess the question is "am I buying an absolute emergency charger or a charger for sasha's?" - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 12, 06:22 2
      - if you're going to charge at a place you're spending hours and hours at anyway, the speed won't matter. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 06:26 1
        
        exactly my thought. I mean, L1 is really not fast enough, but the slow L2 is fine for like overnight trips. thank you for your time. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 12, 06:32
