By the way, once we get our JuiceBox, we will have lower consumption, because 240V charging takes less time, and since the charger's losses are constant over time.

120V x 12A = ~1.4kW
240V x 28A = ~6.6kW

That is nearly 5X faster charging, so the losses are about 80% less.
How long does it take to charge right now?
