I'm still fishing out there to find quotes to install a Gen 3 HPWC with a 60A breaker (I don't have a Tesla; so consider me a newb/idiot on charging).
Previously, I had a few quotes; but those installers wouldn't put the breaker for the HPWC on the backup side of the Gateway.
But now I got a couple more quotes, and I'm not kidding, the installers say I need to put a blade disconnect within line of sight of the HPWC. Is this some stupid joke? Like are there lots of NorCal electricians on TMC who ready my threads and learn to screw with me?
I'm inquiring with Contra Costa County to see if a LOTO clip on the 60A two pole is sufficient for a disconnecting means under NEC 625.42. Although I thought that rule only kicked in for OCPDs that are greater than 60A and the Gen 3 HPWC needs exactly 60A OCPD (and operates at a max of 48A continuous).
But maybe blade disconnects are common for Tesla chargers in NorCal (Contra Costa County)? Does anyone here have a blade disconnect next to their HPWC?
