A very cheap way to promote EV future.

A very cheap way to promote EV future.

For less than $40, all new and refurbished houses should be made EV.
All new apartments should also have the foundation for EV charging (I guess $1000~3000).

Simply by adding conduit, boxes, and space on a circuit panel for such.

For a little more the breaker, wiring, and NEMA6-50 (or alternate) connector installed.

It is simply being prepared for installation, since it is much easier to install in construction than make holes later.
A $8 plastic electrical box with a few feet of conduit would be a cheap, ready to upgrade option for the day it is needed.


A month back was happening to look at an new complex under construction and it occurred to me to ask if they building for EV.
They where not, but the suggestion of at least being upgrade ready was a good idea.

On that regard, I also sent a physical letter (harder to ignore) with the same suggestion to politician (see how that goes).

Speaking of my previous post adding conduits in new apartments, just found this.

An even cheaper way is to vote for politicians who will support an amendment to the NEC mandating at least one 40A service line for every two parking spaces in all new residential buildings/remodels.

That is a myth.
Everyone knows its takes money to buy influence (except for a very few, like spouse).

There is a NEW small subdivision being built here (first of 5 units not finished), I called them asking about EV connections.
At first they where like "what is EV?" Not take long for them to understand and its marketing potential, but I wonder if they are going to do it.

If this community is so inclined, ask them if the houses are EV ready.
