I will say that while I wasn’t happy, I did do 1.5kw charging and it overall kept up with my needs in the end for daily driving, but after a long road trip I was out of commission for way too long so I did upgrade.
If you could get 3kw, then that’s about 14 kilometers an hour of charge, which you’d have to compare with your average and your peak.
But yeah, if I had electrical wiring predating 200A standard, I’d probably be reluctant with EVSE in a rural area particularly. 1.5KW worked for me primarily for being moderately urban so I didn’t have to drive far constantly.
Ah, ok, makes sense.
