I have a 30A Aerovironment EVSE, for 40A breaker, available for resale at a very reasonable price if it goes to a good home. My suggestion is wire the circuit for 40A, 50A breaker, but install a 40A breaker to work with this EVSE. If you get a Tesla later, replace the EVSE with a 14-50 receptacle and change the breaker to 50A. You then can use the portable EVSE that comes with the Tesla at full power for a single charger.garygid said:I am out of date on J1772 EVSE offerings, but a friend wants a 40 amp output
(about 10 kW, on a 50 amp circuit and breaker) to use with his EV, but also
be useful (with the Tesla-supplied J1772 to Tesla Model S adapter) when/if
he upgrades to a tesla in the future.
Does anybody have some suggestions for a good EVSE in the range of $500 to
$700 that will really handle long hours of full 40 amp charging?
Thanks, Gary
I have the Aerovironment EVSE available because when I ordered my Telsa in 2013 with dual chargers, they forced me to include a Tesla HPWC in the price. The HPWC is a very nice unit, with adjustable limits all the way to 80A, and it allows you to open the charge port without reaching inside the car. Its current price is $750.
