How much range does it add per hour?

Estimate: miles per hour of charging = charger kW ÷ the car's EPA electricity use (kWh per 100 miles, measured at the wall) × 100. Only valid if the car's onboard charger accepts 38.4 kW; many EVs accept 7–11.5 kW on AC, so a bigger charger won't charge them faster.

Vehicle figures: fueleconomy.gov. Real charging slows near 100% and in cold weather. Try your own car and battery level.

Circuit and breaker

At 160 A continuous, the circuit typically needs to be rated for at least 125% of the charger's load: 200 A, which usually means a 200 A breaker (estimate based on the NEC continuous-load rule; your electrician and local code decide). Many chargers can be set to a lower current for smaller circuits.

Standby electricity

With no car connected it draws 4.77 W; with a car connected but not charging, 25.9 W. If left in no-vehicle mode all year, that is at most about 42 kWh/yr ≈ $7.65 at the U.S. average rate (estimate).
