But instead of buying that cord you'd be better off installing 240V w/ a good EVSE if you can.
Thanks for your input LogicalApex. Do you have any recommendations? I live in Canada and so my options may be limited in regard to what I can have shipped here vs availability of products on US based Amazon/ebay website.

Not sure about a dedicated charging station as the 530e is my only PHEV/EV and it is parked outside.

Any major difference b/w 20 AMP 120 V (240 V)with a dedicated Level 2 cord VS 30 AMP 240 V charging? Not sure what is the maximum capacity of 530e charging.

Let me know,

Thanks!
