I am getting a new circuit installed for my Wall Connector to charge my Model Y.
Both my main panel and sub panel are full. In my Energy Gateway there are currently 2 breakers installed. A 100 Amp going to my main panel, and a 15 AMP labeled as spare. My plan was just to use this spare 15 Amp breaker for the wall connector. 15 Amp @ 220V would be more than enough for my driving needs. When I had the electrician out the other day for an estimate, he said there is a third open breaker slot in the Energy Gateway and he wants to install a 60 Amp breaker there. The main breaker in the energy gateway is 150 AMP, so having a 100 Amp and 60 Amp seems like I would run the risk of tripping the main breaker.
My other thought is that if I was charging at 60 Amp, the ac was running and I had the oven on, and the power went out, I’d overload my 3 Powerwalls. Guess I could always go with the 60 Amp and just provision the wall connector at a lower amperage.
I have another electrician coming by tomorrow, so I will see what he recommends. Both of the electricians are Tesla certified. However I don’t think they have much experience with the Tesla Energy products.
