The real challenge there is all about load and being able to provide that on the power I produce. For example for the last few days it has been cloudy overcast and almost nothing was generated. Winter is pretty rough so I would probably have to stick with L1 during the winter and only on days when I am actually getting some sun.

During summers or good sun days and my batteries are topped off then I could probably deal with L2 charging. I think I will have to be flexible. I did have a 50amp outlet put in where I plan to be parking the car in anticipation of being able to L2 charge, but I think I will have to adjust to condition of my batteries and what kind of sunshine I am getting or expecting. It will be a learning experience.
