Hi All,
Not sure if this will get a reply since this thread is a couple of years old, but the discussion here is closest to my situation so here goes…
I installed my 11.5kW Tesla panels last year with 2 PWs. The PWs are in my garage and they gave me a sub panel with 2 breakers (I think the breakers are for the PWs). My mains was already at 200A and all the house circuits are still on it.
I bought the Juicebox 40 charger thinking I would use a NEMA 14-50 outlet for it and have gotten multiple quotes for connecting it. All except one said they will add a 50A breaker on the mains, some recommended hardwiring a Juicebox 48.
Just one guy gave me a quote to add the 50A breaker on the sub panel in the garage.
So my question is…
1. Has anyone used that setup via the Tesla PW sub panel to connect their EV? Is that what it means to be on the backup side?
2. Any reason not to go with that setup?
3. Is that setup what is shown here
