I'm new to this hobby but I'm also completely new to Electric Vehicles. So I've never been to a charging station, I have no idea what the options are. I assume one of them is a standard 120v 15amp AC outlet, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
What are the pros and cons of installing the charger so that it is on-board? I have a very small charger, only 3amps, and I believe I will have space for it inside my battery box that I'm about to start building. The batteries can be charged at much more than 3 amps but I couldn't find a better one (I didn't look very hard though, to be honest).
What is the best practice? If the charger is not on-board, then what connector should be used?
Is the term "on-board charging" even what I think it is? It's not some old term that been replaced by "regenerative braking" is it?
Thanks!
