Show us your EV charging setup

Hi have a 40 amp 220v outlet in the carport. Got a Chargepoint Wifi charger about 5 years ago. I like the reporting and the ability to control the charging from my phone.

I installed it while doing some renos so it was more accessible while the walls were open.

The BMW i3 only pulls 32 amps. It works well and no sign of the house burning down yet

 

this.

Tesla makes it damn easy to install* & even easier to commission.

WiFi connection type setups are one of those technologies I take for granted.

a SUPER hard process was dumbed down to a QR code. just awesome.


The whole story with that 110v run I converted...I ran that back in '98 when we built the house. I wanted another dedicated 30amp 110v for sound system. The garage still has the original 20amp circuit. so, all the gym sound system now runs on the old 20amp circuit. which is fine as long as I don't run air compressor & power tools. I was astute & put a big UPC on the stereo shit. can't loose tunes. And God bless Bob Carver for inventing Class D amps.

Lake house charger is mounted next to the main panel in garage - like normal humans do it. We put a Gordo cable (only a foot long) to allow the full 60amp connection...which is really 48amps to the car. The only hoopty part is my "surgical" removal of the sheetrock & the gangster application of white tape to hide the hole till I get around to drywall repair. This one will recharge @ ~32 miles per hour. The other one is 9 miles per hour.
