I am in the early stages of purchasing a Model 3 LR and beginning to do research on charger installation (NEMA 14-50 with a Chargepoint or hardwire a HPWC, honestly doesn't matter to me, depends on my homes electrical system and cost)
I know very little about electricity (just bought my first home and still trying to learn everything). I have figured out my home has a 150amp box in the garage (thankfully exactly where I need to install the charger), but past that, don't really understand further.
I've been reading a ton of posts and seen some where they had to upgrade to a 200amp box or add a sub box to accommodate the charger (seems to get expensive). I'm hoping to avoid that. If that means I can only install a 14-50 plug instead of a HPWC, I'm fine with that.
Below are photos of my box and outside meter. Is there anything based off these photos alone that would indicate I would not be able to run a HPWC (or 14-50) off my current box? I'd really only charge overnight when most other electrical items would not be running except AC and some lights.
