Hey guys. In Quebec, the gov't pays up to $1500 I believe for install of a wall charger so might be worth it...
I'm on the south shore of Montreal, with P308. Hoping for delivery in March... seem reasonable?
Correction, they pay 50% of your total expenses, with a maximum of 1000$ (EVSE + electrician fees, BEFORE taxes). That means that you will get 50% back if your total expenses are at or below 2000$.

Why? The Model S comes with a J1772 adapter. And the website says that "the station must be ... Equipped with a standard SAE J1772 connector"
(Bolding mine.)
The problem with Tesla's HPWC is that it's not compatible with J1772 EV's right? (LEAF, Focus EV, VOLT) ??
Instead of buying a Tesla's HPWC, why not buying a Sun Country CS-90 (70 Amps) or CS-100 (80 Amps) ?
The CS-90 is 2099$ ... it's more than the HPWC (1300$ I think), but then you have a commercial grade EVSE, and since it's J1772, you will be able to use it with all EV's (friends or wife's EV.
In Quebec it's interesting, since almost half of the costs will be covered by the Provincial government (it's CSA approved and it's J1772) ...
Anyway, that's what I installed ... it's overkilled for my current EV (a Focus EV which is limited to 30A) ... but the EVSE «downgrade» to the current required by the car ...
Anyway, as you can see, I'm ready to receive my Model S !!
Now, my question is the following: how easy is it to use the J1772 adapter (since I would need to use it everyday) ... how much time does it add to the «connecting» operation?
