Taking a leaf (no pun intended) from Tesla's SCs.
ClipperCreek Power Sharing Product Lets You Turn One Charging Station Into Two

Help Support My Nissan Leaf Forum:
You mean Tesla HPWC. If I were buying two new EVSEs I would buy two Tesla HPWC units and two of Quick Charge Power's J1772 cord sets for less money and get adjustable EVSEs to put on "any" size circuit(s) that would be able to provide up to 160 amps and then could put the Tesla cord set back on when the Model 3 comes.GRA said:
Really if I were buying any new EVSE would I would do that. For about $700 you get an 80 amp EVSE that is adjustable to whatever circuit size you have and cordsets for both Tesla and J1772 vs the Clipper Creek HCS-40 for $565 that isn't adjustable and only supports 32 amps.

Could use a dual 30 amp or 20 amp at work. Looks like a great option to me.

I really think 2 Tesla HPWC would be a good fit for this use case.

Places that install these should require PHEVs to use them. Most only have a 3.3kw charger anyway.

Yes that saves $88 some assembly required.QueenBee said:
I would rather have plug and play. The HPWC does have more flexibility as far as more units and supply amps.

Sounds similar in concept to J1772 Hydra (https://code.google.com/archive/p/open-evse/wikis/Hydra.wiki) and or the power sharing feature of the Chargepoint CT-4000 stations if given only a single 40 amp feed, instead of 1 for each handle.

It's hard to tell if all HCS-40s are going to have this feature like Tesla does (it's not a special SKU to get sharing, just need the version released last spring) but the clipper creek link you provided is not the HCS-40P so that bundle isn't going to plug in
FWIW Quick Charge Power does sell this upgrade already assembled but it's $1000. http://shop.quickchargepower.com/J-Wall-Premium-80A-Wall-Mounted-J1772-Charging-Station-JWALL80A.htm
BTW another feature is four HPWCs can share a circuit. Seems like clipper creek is just limited to two.

If you are patient and don't mind regularly using an adapter (seems too clunky to use regularly but I've never used any of these adapters just basing it on my gut.) could use these instead if installing a new cordset

I was referring to the power-splitting that Tesla SCs do; if HPWCs can also do that, then fine.QueenBee said:
