If wanting to plan ahead for your next car: check with an electrician and install the largest EVSE the electrical system will support.
If wanting to keep costs down: install an EVSE that supports your daily driving. Is it 50 or 100mi?
Volt only needs a 20-amp EVSE. If your daily driving is average, 20-amps will top off any EV overnight. Even a P100DL.
No need to worry about EVSE settings. The car will negotiate the charge rate with any SAE J1772 EVSE.
I installed a 40-amp unit since i already had a circuit in the garage.
