Hi All,
I just bought a Universal Wall Charger and am working with a friend who is a semi-retired electrician to install it. Looking to put a 60amp circuit in to get the maximum charging rate. He's never installed a car charger before, so we're both researching this a bit first. I don't have a Powerwall or Solar system, so it's just a charger for now. He mentioned that we may need to put a disconnect switch in, but wasn't completely sure and still looking into local code requirements. From what I can tell this isn't necessary since you can't do vehicle to grid with Teslas (minus the CT, and I'm not getting CT unfortunately). The documentation for the Wall Connector even says "External disconnect switches are neither required nor recommended". None of the videos I've watched mentioned anything about a disconnect either.
For my sanity can anybody else confirm a disconnect isn't necessary in this scenario?
Much Thanks
