Supercharging once weekly - no home charger

[jpy1980]

I live in a condo and I had a 14-30 plug installed at my parking space. By law they (HOA Board) have to allow you to put a charger or equivalent. Note the question is if it’s worth it. It cost me about $5k to install the plug along with an extra 110v plug which included a DCC and 100ft of conduit. Totally worth it!

I also live in a condo with no ev charging available (we have open parking in our community). Algo to go the superchargers / L2 parking close to me - so far so good! Yeah I wish I had the garage to plug it overnight but don't see a huge problem tbh. I rarely drive (300 miles per month at most) so for me not thinking about changing oil and all of that stuff is much better!

Nice!

I live on the 8th floor and my parking spot is on the 2nd other side of building. Would’ve cost me $10k+ to install

It doesn't go to my panel in my unit. It goes directly from the electrical meter. So if you are near your electrical meter, then it will actually be cheaper! =). I also have a 2 story condo where each level has its own HVAC systems. This taxes my meter so I had to install a DCC for my plug so it can regulate the plug when my HVAC systems were being used and while the car was charging. Your situation may not need it. If I were closer to my meter and didn't need a DCC, it would've cost closer to $1500 to install it all. =). Good luck!

My condo building put some 3rd party L2 chargers in their visitor parking area, so I can plug in there and go up to my apartment - payment directly to the company that supplies the EVSE, just like in public spaces.
