80 amp EV charger: power, breaker size and range per hour
80 A × 240 V = 19.20 kW · circuit ≥ 100 A (usually a 100 A breaker) · about 64 mi of range per hour at 30 kWh/100 mi
The breaker figure follows the NEC rule that EV charging is a continuous load, so the circuit is sized at 125% of the charger's current (see DOE AFDC: charging at home). This is an estimate, not electrical advice; at 208 V (some apartments) power is about 13% lower.
