While I'm waiting (patiently?) for Shane to come home from the Model S hospital I thought I'd attempt some photos of my charger configuration in the garage. HPWC, and two 14-50's so we're ready for the "get together." Come on out and set a spell!:smile:
Very nice Al. I'm considering similar placement for my HPWC. May i ask what the spacing between your two roll-up door tracks are? I'd estimate 18" or so based on your picture... Thanks. -sc
The board in the picture (behind the HPWC) is 16" wide. The total distance between the inside of the two door tracks is 20.5".
Just curious, what is feeding your new 200 amp panel? Did you get a second, dedicated, meter for that? Jeff
Yes. We upgraded the house service from 400 to 800 and got another meter. We only have the one 200 amp panel but the other 200 amps is available. Incidentally, they make a much smaller panel since I only have the two 14-50's and the HPWC but it was much more expensive so...
Yes, I run into this all the time. When you're talking about this level of current, it's typically cheaper to go with whole-home service panels rather than smaller sub-panels.
240 volts at 80 amps. That will give you the max of 62 miles per hour of charge. You need twin chargers to achieve this though, otherwise you are capped at the max 31 miles per hour charge which makes the HPWC not worth the money. Jeff
