Reply to comment by rxinquestion in Making room for Tesla charger 60amp breaker by rxinquestion

Also the 60amp car charger for the Tesla isn't always necessary. I plug mine into a regular garage outlet overnight and have never needed the lvl 2 charger.

level 1 charges ~7miles every hour (84 miles if you charge 12 hours overnight, which is more than most people's daily commute)

60 amp level 2 chargers ~36 miles every hour (full charge pretty much guaranteed)

Yeah it’s my wife’s car and she commutes far each day. RT is probably around 150mi. Don’t want her having to rely on SC if she can it topped off here reliably every night.
