Looks good. Thank you!

The inspector also required a load calculation, even though the new outlet was only 20 amp compared to the original 30 amp dryer outlet. Here is the last message I received: Thank you for the load calculation. I have a few questions before I can proceed with the review that may save some...

Thanks. I have another issue now. I am trying to get a permit for the electrical work (extension of dryer circuit into carport) and I need to provide a "cut sheet" for the charger. I copied the "tech details" from the FAQ on the EVSE Upgrade site and included the photo, but the inspector was...
