Hi, all!
I feel like this is an "if you don't know, a professional should do it" kind of question... but here goes.
I have a Bosh J1772 charger in my garage I had installed for my previous electric car. I have had zero issues with it and the adapter over the last few months of charging my Model S. But... I sure would like the auto hatch open, and the sleeker handle would give my significant other an extra inch or two room pulling into the garage.
Here's my question. Can I wire a 14-50 wall outlet between the dedicated garage fuse box and the existing charger without issue? I could also unhook the current charger and have the wires end at the 14-50. Ultimately I'll get a Tesla wall charger, but it seems silly to do that if it's $12 for the outlet and a tiny amount of elbow grease to use the supplied plug-in charger.
Thoughts?
