I checked, mine is same, a 20 amp breaker and I'm getting 12 amps on my charger. I was thinking maybe it was a 5-20 plug but it is the standard 5-15. I was just thinking if it happened to be a 5-20 then I might be able to eek out 16 amps (staying at 80% of rated) and 16X110=1.7KW per hour of charging vs. 1.3KW. But, alas, it's not gonna happen. Thanks for the info, sorry for the thread hijack!
