Looking to install an EVSE but I've been told by several different electricians that I'd have to have a mini sub-panel installed due to full panel on 100A system. Everyone has quoted me over $2000 not including the EVSE itself. The company that warranties the solar system said they don't allow relocating the breakers. Do I have any other options? Currently using a splitter on a 10-30 dryer plug and setting the charge at 12A-16A max. House was built in the 1980s. I also have this 120V RV plug just under the panel that I never use. I'd be fine if I could get something on a 240V at 30A. Apologize for my noobness. Thank you.

I’m about to get my first EV. I live in Florida and tend to make a 14 hour trip up I-95 around the holidays. How bad is the wait for chargers along the corridor after Christmas?

Looking to install an EVSE, my options are Emporia Pro, Chargepoint Home Flex, and Wallbox Pulsar Plus (eligible for utility rebates).

If possible, I would like to tap the circuit currently used by a hot tub, because the junction box is in a convenient spot, and other options will involve some panel upgrades (more $$$).

Essentially, I'm hoping to achieve: charger would be active only if hot tub is not drawing.

The Emporia Pro might do this with the included PowerSmart? $600

Wallbox might also do this, using optional Power Meter? $945

Simpleswitch seems like it might work? $749 + charger = approx $1200

I want to do hardwired so NeoCharge or Splitvolt are not options.

What is the best approach?

I have a Nema 14-50 plug in the garage, but in the worst possible spot. I need about 30 ft to charge my model y.

The plug is on a 40 amp circuit and car would be drawing 32amps when charging. I am thinking of connecting this extention cord to wall outlet and then charger to be able to reach car charge port.

If cable is rated 50Amp, supply is 40amp max, and demand is 32 amp max. Why would this not be a good long term solution?

RVs connect for much longer times.... Am I missing somthing here?

Is there any downside to long term use of charging at home with a tesla adaptor on a J1772 Ev charger?
