Charging both Tesla and Ford Lightning at home?

[JayhawkCRNA]

We currently own a MYP but are mulling at replacing our other vehicle with a Ford Lightning. But my question is about home charging options. The Ford has an option to charge on up to a 80amp circuit. Currently we have the Tesla Wall Connector and we charge after midnight since we are on the EV plan through our utility company. Are there any options for charging stations that would allow to plug both vehicles and it would smartly charge each one overnight without having to have another circuit ran which would require our electical service to be upsized, we currently have a 200 amp service? and a similar question would be what are options if we had MYP then a Cybertruck?

There are some dual plug EVSE but they are very expensive. And assuming that one location can reach both cars.

You can install two Tesla wall connectors and do power sharing. They have a version with J1772 plug for non-Tesla EVs. Or you just can get two Tesla versions and use an adapter. It will require a sub panel with a separate circuit and breaker for each wall connector, but they will share the power so you don’t need to upgrade your service.

If you have a gen3 Wall Connector, you can load share that with a Tesla J1772 Wall Connector. However the Tesla connectors only charge to 48A.

If you buy the Ford 80A charger, you can use one of the DCC units to cut off power to one of The chargers if the panel reaches capacity.
