Looked for a specific topic on non-40A options and didn't see a dedicated thread....
Picked up our orphaned 2011 SL-QC last weekend in Houston. Trickle charging and able to get to 90% or better before heading out in the morning so far. But when the south Louisiana summer hits we'll be running it down more with the a/c and will need to go to level 2. In addition Louisiana will give me a credit for 50% of the cost of the charging station.
I am looking for the best option for my situation. I already have an unused 10awg circuit in the carport. So I could (1) do the charger upgrade, (2) get the Legrande or Leviton, or (3) spend a little more, rip out the 10awg and run 8awg. (no room for both in the box...about a 60-75 foot cable run) (4) any other options i'm missing?
What do you guys think is the best option? Does the the evseupgrade that is running at 16.5A charge as well as the Legrand/Leviton? Has anyone had any issues with the Legrand? (looks aren't normally all that important to us, but imo the Leviton is hideous)
I'm not all that worried about future proofing. Unless we can get 350 miles+ on a charge we won't be getting a 2nd...we either need 50-80 miles or 400.
