I am moving to another complex that has a garage and a 5-15 wall outlet in the garage. I am sure this has been talked about but I want to be very specific in what I'm asking. I do not want to buy a $400 wall charger and then call over an electrician for $500-600 more just to charge my car. I work from home and most days I can just plug the car in and keep it going all day. I was watching a few YT vids but wanted to take it to the forums. I was looking at this
Then I would buy a 5-20 adapter from Tesla for a measly 35 bucks and connect it to my mobile charger WHICH came with the car when I bought it used, and just charge like that. Is this dangerous(plug into a plug, into Nema adapter to charger and then to car)?Do I need to be worried about fires for 13-14 hour charging? Could this be plenty efficient enough? I probably drive 20-25 miles MAX a day and on the weekends I'll go maybe 50-100 miles tops for going out etc etc so the charging speed shouldn't be bad. Would love to hear you guys work arounds.. however my garage will not be close to the dryer room at all.
