a) a 16A EVSE connected to 240V 20A with the 3.6kW?
or
b) a 16A EVSE connected to 240V 20A with the 6.6kW option?Yes. Either one. The charging rate you get will be the lower of the car's maximum charging rate and the EVSE's maximum charging rate. This is assuming you haven't violated the electrical code by hooking up, say, a 30A EVSE to a 20A circuit. More specifically, the code requires that the EVSE not be rated for more than 80% of the circuit capacity, so a 20A circuit can support only a 16A EVSE, a 20A EVSE must be installed on at least a 25A circuit, and a 30A EVSE requires a 40A circuit (actually 37.5A, but there is no such thing).

Also, the other way to get 7 hour charging is to buy a 16A EVSE for use at home or to connect to a 240v 20A outlet anywhere.
Do you mean:a) a 16A EVSE connected to 240V 20A with the 3.6kW?
or
b) a 16A EVSE connected to 240V 20A with the 6.6kW option?
