There’s a guy at work that drives one. It doesn’t look bad. But I wouldn’t get one over the Taycan. One of the members here traded their Taycan for a Mach-E a couple of months ago. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/2020-taycan-4s-vs-2021-ford-mach-e-gt.7046/

From Chargepoint’s website: Plug-in installation with a 6-50 or 14-50 outlet requires circuits rated 40A or 50A. For other circuit ratings, including 60A-80A for 48A-50A charging, the plug is easily removed for hardwired installation. https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/home/resource/

This doesn’t sound correct to me. 210.21(B)(1)says that a single receptacle on an individual branch circuit can’t be less than the circuit rating. Additionally, a 60A OCPD serves no purpose over a 50A OCPD in the application and allows the potential for too much current on the 14-50R...

I find that to be an odd comment. If I want to communicate information in formulas, why would that not be an optimal choice? What better alternative is there currently on the site? And if it’s as simple as installing an add-on (and I don’t know that it is) then why “not bother”?

0.4 is about right. It’s better if you tap the display and switch it to kW. That will be a higher resolution and you can see what power you’re pulling at the car.

I’m not arguing which options to get. I wouldn’t get the car at all in the first place. I’m arguing what the price is for fully optioned.

3 options. Red paint, white interior, FSD. You can choose to not include FSD, but that’s not really “fully optioned” then, now is it? Especially given the extremely low number of options in the first place.

Fully optioned? It’s $59k before options. $72k fully optioned (all…um…3 of them…?). Not that it matters much. It still cheap either way. No argument there. (And I’m still not interested)

I sent @Administrator a message asking about this a while back with no response. I thought I’d see if there was any other interest. Would anyone else like to see support for LaTeX added? Occasionally, discussions get more technical and I think it would be helpful. I found the below add-on...

I did try to follow up on this. Discussion here if anyone cares to follow along. Spoiler alert, it’s not a terribly productive discussion… https://www.diychatroom.com/threads/does-code-require-neutral-connection-to-14-50.724501/ I’m not sure I got a strong consensus, but if I had to go with...

Disclaimer: I’m not an electrician. Yes, that’s how I understand it. Yes. From WallWattz installation manual: And 625.22 (2017): 625.22 Personnel Protection System. The equipment shall have a listed system of protection against electric shock of personnel. Where cord-and-plug-connected...

You mean you don’t have your own copy of the NEC (NFPA 70) at home to read at your leisure? ?

Well, it’s not really about “exposed wire” as they allow supply cables up to 15’. It’s about the proximity of the shock protection to the plug.

I believe this is incorrect per NEC 625.22. I don’t have time for more explanation at the moment, but look up that article.

I put mine on my resume under “achievements”. You guys didn’t? it’s sandwiched right between winning a free ice cream at McDonald’s and learning all of the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby.

Something else to consider, if it really is a longer run and you’re worried about future proofing, you may want to consider a larger feed to a sub panel for the longer run and then a shorter distribution to your receptacle. My hardwired EVSE and separate receptacle are right next to a 125A...

Apologies; I didn’t say, nor did I mean to imply that you did. And I didn’t take your answer as saying that either. Really, it was just that @Tooney ‘s questions were specifically about electrical safety and code requirements and I felt I was being slightly dishonest by stating it was required...

Well, I had thought maybe so also, but I couldn’t find anything. The closet thing I can come up with is 110.3(B) which says listed and labeled equipment shall be installed in accordance with instructions from the listing and labeling. Might learn more from UL 498, but I don’t have a copy of...

Mine’s at 3.4 for its total over 5500 miles.

@Tooney For reference, NEC 220.21(B)(1) covers single receptacles on branch circuits and states that the receptacle has to have an amp rating not less than the circuit. This is going to be your requirement for the 50 amp breaker. @daveo4EV @whitex I actually can't find any general reference...
