You were responding to my post about GFCI. This isn't in the outlet, so the nice industrial outlet will be fine and not need replacing. These require a GFCI breaker, so that's where the annoying cost is.We're not very experienced with electrical work and originally thought to install a NEMA plug ourselves, but learned that there's a decent chance that we'll have to be replacing the plug in a few years even with the industrial grade one.
Yes, that is a really nice feature of the Tesla wall connectors, that they are adjustable devices. You can set it for circuits from 15A to 60A, so if you can only spare a 20 or 30 amp circuit, you set it for that, and it's perfect.but apparently there's an option with the Tesla wall charger to set the amperage so we don't have to upgrade our service and move our panel to meet updated code. It'll charge slower at 15 mph but beats paying $10k+ to upgrade and all the hassle, sigh.
That still doesn't get around one of the cost problems. If it's an outlet being installed for EV charging, that has to have one of those twitchy and expensive GFCI breakers. But yes, a 20A circuit can probably avoid causing some big upgrade to the house electrical service.Could just buy a 6-20 adapter and install a 6-20 outlet. Simple ROMEX 12-2 install and would be very cheap if cost is an issue.
