My friend who wants a bolt he drive 100 miles per day he could get by with a 3.6kw evse. A 5kw would probably be best. I ran up 1,600 miles last month on my leaf and a 2.4kw evse was plenty for me.
You don't have to give everyone a 6.6kw.
Problem with 1.4kw (120v) is its too damn slow unless you run up 1,000 miles per month or less and it's warm where you are.
Prevent free loaders by using 2.4 or 3.6kw evse units.
