Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I recently bought a Model Y and I live in a 3-family condo (second floor). I'm lucky to have a free charger right around the corner and I've been using it regularly with a CSS converter. While free is nice, I'd like to have my own charging solution (I might still use the free option when I'm coming back from a long trip for example). My parking spot is right behind the building, next to the main service panel. Thanks to the Ever Source EV home charging installation rebate, I'm thinking about getting one. I requested a bunch of quotes from regular electricians and from specialized home EV charger installers.
This is the simplest and most competitive quote I received. Based on my understanding, the solution is to add a 60A circuit breaker to the main disconnect and connect it to a sub-panel with another 60A and, finally connect that to the Tesla Wall Connector.
Back of the building / main/service panels (the sub-panel + charger will be installed right next to it):
Inside my unit's main disconnect panel (outdoor). I supposed that's where the 60A circuit breaker will be installed:
Based on this quote and thanks to the rebate, my only cost would be the actual Tesla Wall Connector. But once I factor the Federal IRS Tax Credit (30%), it will basically off-set the cost of the charger.
What do you all think? Does this make sense?
Thank you all in advance.
Have a great day.
JM.
