For some reason I thought a 120 outlet would be like an overnight charge, not 5 days.
Trouble with L1 (120v) is the power is limited to about 1400 watts and the computer running, cooling pumps, etc. will use about 300 watts or 20% of the power. Charge at 7000 watts and the overhead is only 4%.
I originally ran my LEAF on L1 for the first six months (22 mile commute) because Nissan wanted a crazy $4200 to install a home L2 connector. Eventually got a Schneider for $800 and still using it 10 years later.
