New Kona looking for level 2 charger recommendations

Yes Muststart is a good brand and works well. Also Zencar is another good brand that has the same features and works well.

A third option is to run the charger that came with the car on 240 volts which will double the charging speed and cut your 23 hours to just under 12. It still will only operate at 12 amps but 240 volt doubles the KW available

 

It sounds like you need close to the 32 amp max charge rate so you'd be better off having a proper wall unit installed.

 

Yes you would either need to buy or make and adapter. The adapter type would depend on what type of 240 volt connection you currently have available.

Here is a website where you will find information on adapters. You will find information under he section called EVdoublers https://evdoctor4earth1.weebly.com/

 

I have just received the EVSE you mention in your post, but have not had the opportunity to use it yet. But it seems well made, if you want something portable with various voltage options, it is what I would go with. If you want something hardwired, I personally think Clipper Creek are the best and sturdiest charging stations. Just remember, hard wired may qualify for rebates while the portable ones do not, at least in California.

 

This is the unit I have (almost a year now), and so far it's worked flawlessly. I also have a 100 amp service, but I didn't need a subpanel, just a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed (50 amp breaker). You may have code restrictions that require the subpanel, you should ask. I have the car recharge schedule set to between 12M and 6AM when we're unlikely to use the stove or dryer, and have had no issues overloading the system, even with all AC's running. The portability of this charger appealed to me because with an adapter I can use a dryer outlet at someone else's house if the occasion arose (so far it hasn't). When it was new the plug was a pretty tight fit, but after a few uses it loosened up and it's pretty easy now. If you choose this you'll be happy with it.

 

Be careful. You can't just pop-in a 50A breaker on any circuit (wiregage). 40A needs AWG 8-3 (tyipical for stoves), 30A needs AWG 10-3 wire (typically used for dryers). 50A breaker needs a circuit wired with AWG 6-3 wire.

If you want to "future proof" your installation go to 50A. Plug-in install is more flexible.

 

Would not meet Ontario code. Note that there are code variations across regions, provinces, states, cities etc.

Just check and stick to your local code.
