Which EV charger does your car actually need?

A charger can only push as much power as your car's onboard charger will accept. Past that point a bigger unit costs more and charges no faster. Some cars cap at 32 amps, some take 80. Search yours above to get the amperage it can actually use and the breaker that circuit needs.
