Hi,
I should have a Premium AWD Extended arriving in mid-June, if the ETA is to be believed.
I have an already-full electrical panel that is also on the opposite end of my house, which has finished ceilings in the lower level. Adding a 50A circuit would likely require a new panel and lots of drywall cutting to run new wire to the garage.
I do, however, have an electric baseboard heater in the room above the garage that appears to be fed by its own 240/20 circuit. It would be feasible to have an electrician start a run from there for a garage outlet.
- Has anyone used a 240/20A circuit for home charging?
- Did you install / have a 6-20 outlet for it?
- What charger did you buy?
- What charging rate in mi/h do you see?
- Am I correct that I would I have to sacrifice the heater, as either that or the EV charger would be a "constant" load?
Thanks!
