Now that the wall charger has dropped from $1,200 to $750, I am strongly considering getting one. Currently I have a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in my garage, and I charge with my UMC. If I get the wall charger, I would mount it in the same area as the outlet. Is there a way I can keep the outlet and add the wall charger on the same circuit? I don't intend to use them both at the same time, but I like the flexibility of the outlet (perhaps for charging non-Tesla EV's?), and I'm not sure I want to give that up just to install the wall charger. Would I need some sort of switch to toggle between the wall charger and the outlet? Or could I just wire them both up?
The circuit breaker in my panel is 50A, and the wiring from the panel to the outlet is AWG 6 installed in PVC conduit.
