Well, I had thought maybe so also, but I couldn’t find anything. The closet thing I can come up with is 110.3(B) which says listed and labeled equipment shall be installed in accordance with instructions from the listing and labeling. Might learn more from UL 498, but I don’t have a copy of...

@Tooney For reference, NEC 220.21(B)(1) covers single receptacles on branch circuits and states that the receptacle has to have an amp rating not less than the circuit. This is going to be your requirement for the 50 amp breaker. @daveo4EV @whitex I actually can't find any general reference...

14-50 receptacles have to have the neutral connected. The EVSE just won’t use it. No. Wire can be upsized if the terminal it is going to is rated for the size, but the breaker needs to be 50 amps.

The 19.2kW charger benefits depend on your use case. I just had my first weekend with the car and I needed it, exactly how I thought I would. We did a bunch of running around in the morning, then we were home for an hour and a half before we went out for lunch, and then we were out running...

The PMC+ has a 14.76 foot vehicle cable and it can’t be changed. It’s the PMCC that has the shorter vehicle cable that can be changed to a 25 foot cable. Also, the 14-30 supply cable I referenced before is a whole separate supply cable, not an adapter. I agree that it’s expensive, but it’s...

You can buy a 14-30 supply cable for the PMC+ from your dealer. That’s what I did. They charged me $114 for it.

It’s really unfortunate. It’s not as simple as ICE. Especially with people installing home chargers. I think basic understandings of charge, voltage, current, power, and energy...along with AC vs DC, and single phase vs 3-phase are all really required to figure this stuff out. And that doesn’t...

I actually find this aspect to be confusing and wish they wouldn’t do it this way. It would make more sense to label by the load rather than the circuit. IMHO.

No. Dave is saying the circuit is a 50 amp circuit but the load is 40 amps. Both the PMC+ and PMCC go up to a maximum of 40 amps if they are put on a 240VAC 50 amp circuit. You do not get to use 50 amps. The circuit it’s on has to be a 50 amp circuit though. Circuits for continuous loads...

I don’t understand why the selection isn’t built into the cars. Seems trivial....

I don’t have any specific data to back this up, but I would be surprised to find there is a noticeable (if an) difference in those rates. But considering the max AC charging rate relative to the max charging rate or even the max AC charging rate compared to the average discharge rate during...
