My husband said something about a 50amp plug but I don’t really know. He has knowledge about electrical circuits and I don’t think he would risk our home since he is a Fire Captain but I will discuss with him further. Thanks for the warning! Funny how the sakesman
said that I can just, “plug it in to a wall outlet “.

Most salesman are clueless, but it will charge fine on a 120v 15amp outlet. 1.1kW per hour. Takes days.

Some think you can take an adapter, or change the plug, on a dryer circuit, but wiring and breaker are for 30amps usually.

Also, if you have not already done so, look in the hatch under the floor panel - my GTPE (5/23 build date) did not have the charger listed on the sticker, but there was one in the vehicle. This was also true of a GT I looked at, but did not purchase.
