Getting ready to finally upgrade from Level1 charging at home for my Y.
A friend has me paranoid about home charging fires but from everything I read, it’s all about having a qualified electrician install with the appropriate wiring and receptacle.
My electrician is planning to use a Leviton 55050 which is on the approved list but most forums seem to recommend the Hubbell or Bryant. Should I ask him to use one of those instead?
And is it ok to leave the mobile charger plugged into the receptacle all the time or should it only be plugged in while charging?
My charging needs are pretty minimal right now, averaging 20-30 miles on a busy day but upgrading for a 2nd EV.
