A kilowatt hour will power a Tesla for about three miles.

I have 125 Amp Service. I’m not sure if that is 240 volts via two lines or two 120 volt lines.

I think that works out to be about 40 miles per hour of electricity. It might be 80 miles per hour of electricity.

An EV would be the only additional major load.

Both.

The two 120 volt lines are out of phase, adding up to 240 between them.

If inserted in a Telsa, it is 40 MPH worth.

In a Bolt, it's 80.


Does I REALLY need a snark/sarc tag here??



I hope not.
