Don't they call that a Chevy Volt?

How do you install a 100 amp EV charger outside?

(maybe the gas motor is up front)Ahhh my bad. the j1772 standard maxes on 100a breaker but 80a continus due to the derating thing.
80a units are expensive and frankly not really needed for the majority of res use cases. with the electric F150 coming their 80a connector is part of their home backup solution.
the more normal 48a charging units, 11.5kw will still manage to toss in 138kwh in 12 hours of charging. that is a metric buttload of kwh for most people. I can see however the electric F150 running a job site an hour away every day in the winter sucking down more than that so:
here is an 80a breaker - 64 charging amps

but if you really want the big **** ones: 100a breaker 80a charging

Umm... buy an outdoor charger and follow the instructions in the box?
My office is in an old house in a neighborhood with lots of other old houses converted to offices for assorted professionals, and quite a few of these sport an outdoor charger hooked up to the owner's EV in the drive or parking lot.
Depending on living arrangements, this might work out much better for some folks. I know it's horrible to contemplate, but there are some people who don't have garages of their own. Or they might live in an apartment or condo in the city with a parking garage, so installing a charger at the office is much easier all around.

The Porsche OEM charge controller is rated for 100A and outdoor service.
Of course it costs $2000. Not including the pedestal. If you go that route.
