if you provide a close up photo of your existing panel and sub panel perhaps someone on the forum can recommend a solution.

When my Model Y was delivered I was set up for charging my 2017 Volt at 240V/16A. That was adequate for charging the Model Y. I was able to add ~5% charge to the Model Y battery pack per hour. Since I already had a 14-50 receptacle on a 50A circuit I was able to swap the 240V/20A EVSE for one rated for 240V/40A. I now charge at 240V/32A. I am able to add 10% charge to the Model Y battery pack per hour. In winter I can precondition while plugged in while maintaining the battery charge even while using 8kW to power and precondition the Model Y. I originally planned to use the Tesla Mobile Connector with the NEMA 14-50 power plug adapter or the Tesla Corded Mobile Connector but these only have an 18 foot long charging cord. I needed an EVSE with a 24 ft or longer charging cord. My original EVSE was made by ClipperCreek. My current EVSE is the AmazingE Fast 32 (this EVSE is sold by ClipperCreek, has a 25 ft charging cord.) I use the Tesla J1772 adapter with the AmazingE unit.It was at the time but it is close to 12 months old now. It is likely higher in price, but yes. That was it. The higher cost was reflective of the 14-50. 6-20 would probably be more than enough. 8 hours at 240@16A would give me over 30 kW.

If you follow the earlier thread (the one with the photos) there was already a quote from an electrician that included a 6-20 receptacle. Done and done; just need to decide to spend the $.I mean, apparently 3 different electricians have already evaluated it. I suppose there's a possibility someone here might come up with something none of them thought of, but....
I would save the $500, initially plan to charge at 120V/8A or 120V/12A. You will quickly learn whether 120V charging meets your needs. Then you can decide whether to spend the money for the 6-20 receptacle.Sure - but it would be cheaper to spend $400-500 on a 5-20 outlet, that’s all I was getting at.
