Regarding the update on the PMCC to charge at default at 50%, isn’t the issue the power cord adapter from the PMCC to the wall outlet that overheats?
I believe the wire gauge is too small/thin and should have been thicker (maybe a 4 awg or 6 awg)? I think it’s a 10 awg? I’m too lazy to go...
This is exactly why I went with a 14-50R outlet. I have 3 Porsche Mobile Charge Connects in my garage.
1) Outlet one = 2 AWG-> Safety Disconnect-> 4 AWG -> 14-50R
2) Outlet two = 4 AWG-> Safety Disconnect-> 4 AWG-> 14-50R
3) Outlet three = standard household outlet (this takes like 48 hours to...
Great to have more options and finally reasonably priced (including the plastic dock).
If I did it again, I'd still opt for the PMCC + Docking Station because I like the flexibility of having it not hardwired with a 14-50 outlet.
My other locations will be the docking station + PMCC on a...
Exactly - this makes it easy for me to upgrade in the future.
I figure I give the PMCC a chance and then if not, I will upgrade the safety switch to 100 amp rated and can use a #3 AWG wire down hardwire the next EV charger.
Most the work was in wiring the #1 AWG copper to the panel. The...
BTW safety switch is overkill - given the panel is just a few feet away.
#1 AWG is overkill, I blame @daveo4EV for the idea=)
This should compensate for my overheating PMCC with a plastic box that helps it retain even more heat. ?
Setup 1 complete. Setup 2 in works. All while having no car (still haven't taken delivery) - steering column module arrived today and was installed. Keys from Germany still not here. Re-ordered today directly from Germany since no ETA from Atlanta distribution.
50 AMP circuit breaker on...
