What amperage is required for the 240V line to charge the Lightning?

Hi,

I am having my electrician install a 240V line in my garage to prepare for the Lightning I hope to get next year (my reservation is way down on the list).

He asked me if a 60 amp circuit will be enough and I can't find anything online to confirm that.

How do I find out if a 60amp 240V line will be sufficient or, if not, what amperage it needs to be?

Thanks in advance!

the Ford Mobile EVSE that comes with the truck is 30amp 240v - so the common 'RV' style NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50amp 240v circuit is just fine - that's exactly what it's designed for, and plenty of juice for the typical owner.
