Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It wasn’t enough money to make me go down another research rabbit hole, which I suppose they basically count on.

His video convinced me to go for it (“it’s just wires”)! I had a double slot left in the panel. I’m now technically above the calculated load for our service, but I scheduled charging for late nights and below the max rating of the charger.

With 2 vehicles to charge and one being a 130kwh truck, I needed a second circuit at the very least.
With how much I drive the truck (not a lot, I work from home, about to hit 3500 miles in 11 months), a 240v 20A is even more than enough. But I installed what the mobile charger you see is rated for (32A max, but the plug says 30A … ?) because I whole-ass anything I do. And now there’s a 14-50R for my dad to plug his camper into if he ever decides to visit his grandson.
