I would get the wiring done for the "bigger" circuit (80 amps) and include a 14-50 plug with a smaller breaker (if they will even let you do that--don't see why not). That way you can use the included charger in the car and if, in the future, you want to upgrade to something larger its a simple two step process: Hardwire the charger into the plug box and replace the breakers.Completely understood. If I wasn't having unrelated work being done that's going to add a circuit (and force a panel replacement), I wouldn't be thinking as hard about it - I could use my existing Level 2 charger I use with my Fusion Energi and live with a slower speed. But like I said I'm thinking if I have to have a bunch of expensive work done anyway, might as well have this incremental change done.
So basically: Set the circuit up for 40amps but gauge the wire for 80amps.
