just got the HPWC installed and feel so liberated now. Electrician was able to install a 100A breaker with #2 wire via a 1 inch conduit so I can get the full 80A (even though my car can only take 72A). Car is charging at 50 mi/h!
You do realize that high current charging is inefficient (heat dissipated in the battery goes up 4x if you double the current ("miles/hr"), and the A/C has to work harder) and, in theory, is not a good idea for battery longevity?
