2025 Corsair PHEV 120 volt charging vs 240 volt charging

[1carguy]

Hi all,

I am charging in the garage with 120 volt, but wondering about the cost's of 120 volt charging vs 240 volt charging. It takes 12 hours (+ or-) to do a 120 volt charge, and supposably 3 - 4 hours to do a 240 volt charge.

BUT, which charging method will cost the most?

Your thoughts please - thanks

It won't make any difference. Your car will charge to the same number of KWH - it just takes less time at the higher voltage. Roughly 1/4 the time for 2x voltage.

120V will cost maybe 10% more because 120V is typically less efficient than 240V.
