Evening all,
Appreciate this isn't Tesla related so forgive me but with you being such a helpful bunch I thought I'd try my luck.
As part of me getting a charger for my Model 3 I had to upgrade my amperage from 60 amps to 80 amps. I did ask Western Power at the time if they could put in 100 amps but they wouldn't entertain it. I didn't push that hard as 80 would suit my current needs.
3 months later and going through my first winter in the house I realised how much money I'm hemeriging on oil heating... After doing some research on alternative options I'm leaning towards a air source heat pump (saving my pocket and the environment) and recieved a few quotes. During conversation with an installer he mentioned the heat pump uses 40 amps and after doing the maths, having a EV charger and heat pump it doesn't leave much left over..
My question, has anyone got a heat pump plus charger and did you have any difficulties with amperage? For the life of me, I can't remember why Western Power refused 100amp but hoping it was something trivial. I will call them in the next couple of days but thought I'd learn from others experiences.
Again, apologies for the non related Tesla post!
