Yeah, the 45e is basically the lowest level 2 charge rate. That's my debate. It'll be my second charger. I just got solar, but my roof is small and wonky so my 8.16 kW system is maxed out.
I'm debating adding that second charger for the 45e or just plug it into a regular 110. I'm leaning on adding that second charger just b/c the Level 2 charge time, even at the low 3.x rate, drops the charge time to just under the "overnight" range. My utility company charges a "Peak" rate and "Off Peak" is just midnight to 7 AM. That's just about the charge time the 45e needs so I'm leaning that way.
If you don't have peak times or have plenty of time to charge, I wouldn't bother.
