I'd run #6 which would support 40A at about any expected temperature.Īlso note that while the saying is "the breaker protects the wire", the breaker also protects the EVSE. It would be large and expensive and total overkill. However, I wouldn't bother to run #2 copper wire. Since outlets and breakers are easy to change but wire isn't, if you are going to "future-proof" the circuit, concentrate on the wire. Note there are three parts of the circuit. If there's one positive thing that's come from nearly everyone in the world having to stay home, it's that air pollution from vehicles has dropped.
Clipper Creek HCS-40P Pros-Established company with good reputation. EVSE won't last forever, so buying more EVSE than you need is like buying a pair of pants for you son that he'll need if five years.) I want either the Clipper Creek HCS-40P, or the Juice box 40. Extensions: Helps to utilize your knowledge base in the external systems like help desk and chat. Integration: Helps to bring external systems like chat, commenting, and analytics into your knowledge base. The new 48-amp unit will match the highest power that new Tesla. Document360 works hand in hand with your existing help desk, analytics, commenting, and chat products both ways. Enel X is now adding a 48-amp version to the JuiceBox line. (Also note that buying an EVSE which supports higher charging than you need isn't that wise. The JuiceBox has been available in 32-amp, 40-amp, and 80-amp versions. Given cars usually sit for 10 hours a day, and given your commute is 300 miles a week, 30A will give you enough charging and then some. The more amps the less efficient the charging, and 30A will get you about 20 miles an hour.

I would not bother with charging above 30A. Note that even if it does, the MME charger apparently will work with a GFCI breaker, so you could use a 6-50 or 14-50 outlet with this charger. Of course state codes lag the national code, and then there are local codes, so this may not be required where you are. Since the EVSE already has a GFCI, and since two GFCI with different sensitivities on the same circuit can result in unwanted tripping, you'll want to hardwire it.
The national code now requires a GFCI breaker on the circuit if you are using a 6-50 or 14-50 outlet. I have the original version of this adapter.
as opposed to the J1172 > Tesla adapter that is tiny and included free w every Tesla (JuiceBox solution. the adapter for TWC > J1772 is 159 (linked below) is quite large, and maxes out at 40a. If you aren't going to use the charger that comes with the MME you will likely have to hardwire it. OP stated he was buying another non-Tesla EV in the near future.
