I have a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage that I use for changing my car AND running my brewing equipment. I recently ordered a Tesla HPWC and obviously want to get the most I can from it, but that would require upgrading my circuit to 60 amps. I verified that the wire is 4 awg, so I should be safe.
The question is, aside from the 14-50 being a common outlet for ranges, is there any reason why I couldn't slap a 60 amp breaker in and switch out the plug to a NEMA 14-60 so I can retain the dual use of the outlet?
I've seen several people add NEMA 14-50 plugs to their HPWC but haven't heard of a single person adding a 14-60 plug.
