@submatrix Wallbox charging rate can be limited (below circuit's rated capacity). See clip from Wallbox knowledge base site.

I laughed out loud at this. Sorry.:oops:

Glad you decided to comply with electrical code. haha And, you got backup receptacle and backup circuit. You da EVSE home charging man. ;)

Anyway, using a receptacle, if one plug-in EVSE fails, you (and I) can easily switch to a different one. I think I saw a photo on here of a garage installation in which a single circuit (I am assuming that is what it was) was fed via conduit along wall to a junction box that split off into...

That is interesting. So what receptacle is it? I am going to have NEMA 14-50 installed on 50 amp circuit. Electrician has told me he is installing cable that will work on 60 amp breaker, but I thought 60 amp circuits had to be hardwired.

Just wondering. It is on a receptable on a 60 amp breaker? Or receptacle on 50 amp circuit but you could hardwire to 60 amp in the future? And good on your car at dealership, mine made it, also.

Assume your ChargePoint will be hardwired. Do you have backup if hardwired EVSE should fail? (That's why I am going with 50amp circuit and receptacle.)

I interpret this to mean that plug-in cords for EVSE can be 12 in or less, or can be from 6 to 15 feet long, depending on the location of "the interrupting device of the personnel protection system". Is the "interrupting device" like a ground fault interrupter (GFI)? If the Wall Wattz EVSE has...

It seems like many EVSE boxes that plug into wall receptacles come with supply cables that are about 13 inches long. But I have seen one - Wall Wattz - that comes with a 6 foot supply cable. I thought that the short length might be some electric code requirement. The Pulsar 40 amp EVSE comes...

At what length does "longer run" roughly start, where 3-wire cable and NEMA 6-50 receptacle should be considered?

Jhenson, daveo, whitex: Thank you for answering my home charging installation questions. Your posts on this and many other Taycan topics have been really useful.

Thanks for the information about EVSE in home garage, and future-proofing. Couple of questions. --I plan to have work done by licensed electrician - info is for my planning. -- 1. I understand at least some 220v EVSE units only require 3 conductors. To meet electrical safety and code...
