Here's our situation: we'll be installing a wall charger outside on our driveway (no garage), our electrical panel is full (aka no free breakers), but we do have a laundry room right beside the driveway.
I've heard that instead of upgrading the entire panel, people simply install a switch on the dryer outlet or better yet a secondary electrical panel that mechanically switches between the dryer and the charger. Have people done either the switch or secondary panel option, and what are your thoughts? Upgrading and upsizing the electrical panel looks to be at least $1k-1.5k more at this point.
