Separate names with a comma.
@Rocky_H nailed it as usual. Code violation for sure. You have to think about receptacle ratings the same as wire ratings in terms of what...
I know, right? I'm amused with the idea of giving this explanation to a licensed electrician or inspector, seeing as it's likely to come off as...
It can be either, but I'd highly recommend you put it in the garage. This gives you way more flexibility for the future.
Can you cite the code for this? The 2020 edition makes no changes to Section 625, where 625.43 still says it's only required if over 60A or more...
Are you sure? I read the load calculation rules as using nameplate rating for hardwired devices, which would be 48A. The 125% derating on top of...
Just because NM cable was fished through finished walls doesn't mean that conduit could be. That's typically much more invasive, especially when...
People often get tripped up on this one. Yes, the NEC says you can "round up" to the next breaker size if unavailable and put a 60A breaker on a...
Yes. It's not up to code. jcanoe has the correct guidance here. For clarity on why 48A charging is not okay: a circuit must be derated by 20% for...
I only have slightly more input, based on experience of installing several units... coincidentally I am also an electrical engineer but I work on...
If you really want a heated steering wheel and rear seats, then sure. It would be an extremely high priority for me, but I also wound up buying a...
Indeed, and I'm good with that... but the tone of the original question on this particular thread spoke otherwise. I could be wrong, but in...
+100. Someone coming to an online forum to ask extremely basic questions about electrical work in a clearly uninformed manner indicates they are...
I've always assumed this is just to reduce the complexity of what they have to write as a requirement and to reduce the chance of...
Mostly true. 6AWG Romex can't do a 60A circuit, but 6AWG THHN wire in conduit can. So there's more to this story than meets the eye.
Yes, but since you said you are not an expert, you should hire someone who is an expert to do this job.
Yes, there is currently a bug where it charges immediately during the day on Friday. I first noticed it two weeks ago and confirmed it one week...
The car itself supports 277V, but in terms of the EVSE half of the equation, only the Gen 1 & 2 HPWCs do, so its usage is fairly limited.
I can't get over this claim... :D:rolleyes:o_O
It's all good. Typical allowable utility variance is +/-10% of nominal 240V, and electronics are designed for this.
Spoken like a person who's never experienced it! I am in Wisconsin, and I had the exact same thoughts until our first Nissan Leaf many years ago...
No, that's part of the point of an EVSE. No power available until the connection to a car is negotiated.
Ah well, worth a shot.
It used to be that a triple-tap on the clock resynced the time. Recently they added a feature that if you tap the time, it opens the calendar app,...
Zilch. The extremely active WI owners Facebook group has had... no info.
If you want a high chance at a local sale, post it in the WI Facebook group. Facebook Groups
I haven't seen this before myself, but it's plausible. In any case, if he hooked up the two poles of the 240V breaker to the same phase, you...
My adapter from early 2018 (car VIN 005xxx), whichever revision it is, says 30. I noticed it right away, and it pretty certainly is an error in...
NO! Don't ever install a 14-30 without a neutral! To the OP: just go buy the EVSE Adapters one. They seem to have a good reputation. And as to...
Well, it wouldn't be cheap, but an eGauge would do the job. www.egauge.net Also not sure what they really meant when saying "running a circuit...
No, it's really not, but keep telling yourself that ;-).
Wow, whatcha gonna get when it's time to replace the wiper blades on the Y? :rolleyes::D
...? It's also the standard connector for EVs *with* DCFC too. Literally all EVs made in the last 10 years for the North American market (except...
Because in Tesla-land the model year is a meaningless number, and the OP is holding it to a psychological belief that "one newer" is "one better"?...
I've never seen such a prominent display of it like that before, but that could be to local jurisdiction rules. I sincerely doubt it's a gimmick...
Advice? Get over it.
Available fault current (also known as short-circuit current rating) is a measure helpful for engineers designing the electrical system as a...
^ Correct. Perhaps I misunderstood, but so many people post about wiring a 14-50 pigtail to an HPWC, that that's the assumption I made.
"Perfect" except for that part where it's a code violation... :-)
That is highly unusual, indeed. Just change it to 14-50 with a 50A breaker, as others have suggested. Hire an electrician if you are not already...
I don't know what v2 uses, but my v3 uses 1W while idle, which is amazingly low for it having an offline power supply in it for running the...
From one Wisconsinite to another: you have a few valid points, but also a few unfounded fears. Yes, the charging infrastructure in northern WI &...
Just fill out MV1 and send it in with the CoO.
I see you're in Canada, so I'm not sure of what your electric code says about this. In the US, we use a cable called Romex that I believe to be...
Installation, not setup. I mean in terms of mounting the backplate on the wall, installing conduit & wires, and putting the rest of the unit together.
It's also much easier to install! :-D (Seriously, the mechanical engineers of this product ought to be commended for making what's probably the...
Sorry, this is not accurate. You can't pull 48A continuous on a 14-50 outlet. The outlet ratings are to match circuit sizing, not load sizing....
That might be the worst argument I've ever heard... "they're giving me a rebate, so I'll spend it all on buying something more, rather than...
Sorry to say, you are just not remembering correctly. First, it's "Enhanced Autopilot", not Advanced. Second, they sure as hell did offer FSD at...
You're right, but so what? The outlet has to be wired per code regulations, without regard to what gets plugged in and how that appliance makes...
In the "option 1" scenario, if the outlet is connected to a sub-panel, one would also need to change the connection in the panel from the neutral...
