Hi everyone,
There seems to be some inconsistent messaging regarding gen 3 wall connectors needing their own single circuit. Typically, any EVSE needs to have its own circuit, but if they have automatic load balancing, the NEC allows for a shared circuit.
In my case: I have 6/3 AWG to the garage powered by a single 60 amp circuit currently to 1 wall connector. I am awaiting delivery on my second one. The easiest scenario is to splice the line once it enters the garage using polaris connectors in order to separate into 2 different runs from that box and have both wall connectors sharing that same circuit. The second scenario would be to install a subpanel with 2 60 amp breakers instead. But with the power sharing (and redundant protection of only utilizing half the charging speed if the connection is offline), I do not see the need for the separate circuits.
If anyone has thoughts or experience with installing 2 3rd gen wall connectors, please let me know what you have done!
