Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.
50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn’t cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.
Wasn’t room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.
I’ll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.
Alec ( technology connections on youtube ) would be proud
His video convinced me to go for it (“it’s just wires”)! I had a double slot left in the panel. I’m now technically above the calculated load for our service, but I scheduled charging for late nights and below the max rating of the charger.
So all within safe limits. Noice ^^
