I have this 250V plug in my garage. Will I be able to use the cord that comes with the i3 and how fast will it charge? If the stock cable won't work, what will?
Also, what is a L2 charger exactly? I've seen some on Amazon that says it used this plug. Is that accurate? How fast is the charge with an L2? My attachment didn't show up, here's the plug:

After some research I figured it out. I need an L2 charger. That being said, what's a good one to get?

L2 is about 3-4 hours, but I never use it. I just use the quick charge stations and top off using the 110 volt from home. My parents have a juicebox. It seems nice enough and it was only about $500 through amazon.

It's a nice convenience to have a home L2 charger and probably essential if you're in an area without public L2 charging infrastructure. I've survived 19 months without one at home but mostly charge at my destinations heavily and have multiple public charging options within a 5 mile radius from home.

Only 16A, but it's plenty to charge overnight in 6-7 hours (0-100%). Not worth upgrading your circuit and outlet to 30/40A unless you need to regularly go from 0-100% in 3-4 hours.

Does I3 come with level 1 charger only, or does it come with 240 volt 16 amp cable as well?
