I'm talking to my electrician about setting up 48A vs 40A in my home. He's someone I trust to make a fiduciary decision and tells me what I choose won't make any difference in price of set up, but I want to know which is better.
He tells me that the difference in charge rate is 1hr, but 48A is continuous (what does continuous mean? is 40A not continuous?) so if i plan on charging during the day 40A is more desirable. He said I can 'load up my service if I use a lot of power hungry stuff.'
What should I do? I'm completely oblivious to electric jargon, but all I know I love that juicy power so I assumed I was going for 48A, but my electrician got me thinking twice.
Thanks!
