Just wondering if people generally get a disconnect for a wall charger.
Code probably varies across US. In case anyone has experience in NW suburbs of Chicago I...
I think proximity to the main panel is a factor in whether a cutoff is required, too.
My town has adopted: "National Electric Code, 2017 Edition"
Aside code, does it seem like a good idea? or at least a switch?
i.e. Leviton 60 Amp 600 Volt Industrial Grade Double Pole Single Phase AC Manual Motor Controller Toggle Switch - Black-MS602-FW - The Home Depot
A breaker already is: "an accessible switch to turn everything off"I actually think it's a good idea, if anything goes wrong it's nice to have an accessible switch to turn everything off.
No, the breaker is about 20 cm away. Actually, a switch is a kind of silly rule because in the unlikely event the car catches on fire, switching the breaker off won't help, and if the wall charger has an issue, it means the breaker isn't doing it's job.

Thanks for that. Not being a sparky, I didn't understand what he was talking about, but I trust both him and his company completely. I've used his company for electrician services for 25 years. Not the cheapest in the business, but I'll pay for the best... every time.Over 60A it is not an option. It is required by the NEC. But it will make installation of a second HPWC easier both because the lugs will be convenient and because he can turn it off when he connects to them.
In my city, it is required regardless of proximity to the service panel.I think proximity to the main panel is a factor in whether a cutoff is required, too.
