Hello,
I'm about 3 months away from MS delivery but want to start looking at charger installation.
My main concern is power delivery to charger. I have a single phase power in the house and it has 100A fuse on it.
I did some calculations and my biggest consumers of electricity are as follow:
9.5kw shower 1
9.5kw shower 2
3.5kw oven
1kw washing machine
1kw microwave
Now this takes me to 98A and it doesn't include the other little things in the house. I know above are peak figures and I'm never using them all at max power at the same time but still, 7.4KW charger is another 30A.
I don't want to wait until I get the car and realise I have a problem. So, I need some advice.
Would you suggest to start thinking about 3-phase installation. Has anyone done this? How much is it likely to cost?
Or make a safe decision to only shower when car is not charging?
