We got our level 2 charger installed. The install went realtively well. They didn't quite put it where I wanted, but where it is fine. They put the wire out the side of the breaker box, which the box seems to be designed for and he turned the plug over when I asked him while he was bored waiting. The reason he was bored was they needed a special breaker and the nearest one was in Worceter, so they had to send one of their guys to drive the almost hour to worceter and back to get it.
The box hums a little when it's feeding the car and the cable gets a little warm, but I think, given the amount of power running through it, both are at an acceptable level.
It's really strange to have the car full charged over night after using level 1 for a month and a bit.
I installed the 3d printed cord holder that was very kindly printed for me. I'm not 100% sure I have it in the righ place, but things are working well enough for now. I'm going to put up one more wire clip just to make cord managmenet a little cleaner.
