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.
Yes, but if you want all your power draw in this window you probably want more throughput. Plus if you do things other than commute it’s nice to have the flexibility. I get by fine for my normal commute on 15a but if I do things outside of going to work and can’t get a charger spot on my first day back from work it can be tight.
