    don't laugh.

    had to use an old 110v - converted it to 220...so only 12amps.

    the red crate is the Harrop box...next to it is the spare rear tire - everyone has a spare rear tire, right?

    and yes, the charging cable is hanging on the joist...so that "someone" does not run over the cord.

    If a contractor bid it, they're at least getting $100/hr for labor.
    Either way, it's clean and done right

    Using the Tesla charger at 120v it almost burned my house down. Fried every neutral in the panel so I installed the NEMA at 48amps and it works great. Cost me under $50. Also helped that my panel is in the garage. image.jpg

    And yeah, PSA for anyone else that's curious.

    *When charging on a 120v 20A circuit, make sure it's dedicated and you only pull 16 amps max on that circuit. Breakers are not designed for continuous max current (20A draw on a 20A breaker).
    Confirm all connections are tight and you'll be just fine.
