Good call adding the separate meter. Easier to just do it and not have to worry every time you want to install something else.Just want to thank everyone again for their assistance! Had the electrician out the other day. We are going have a separate EV meter installed with a 100amp panel. I will also have a Clipper Creek HCS-50 installed. This should provide plenty of charge but also give the wife and I more space in both electrical boxes for different home improvement options that we want to do in the future for the house.
I would strongly urge you to get the HCS-50P rather than the HCS-50. The cost difference is minor and the operation is the same. However, you can more easily move a plug version, it's easier to replace a plug version if it needs replacing, and in some jurisdictions code requires permitting -- more time and money -- for hardwired EVSE (but not plug-in EVSE).
