im not some ev advocate. in fact i only got it because i needed a car during the car shortage and my states ev incentives are good. i was worried about that shit on long trips but after a few years and many road trips i don't miss having a ICE at all. no gas stops, no oil changes, etc. in exchange a few times i year i have to stop a couple times at a rest stop i might not have otherwise done. |

i respect musk for making tesla work but his production instincts are chinese, not german: work really hard to produce something that functions and looks good on the surface, and get it to consumers ASAP. do not make sacrifices for craftsmanship as long as people will still buy it, and deal with the consequences later. in fairness that's how he was able to produce the model 3, no other automaker with production standards and layers of QC bureaucracy would ever put something like that out and it's why tesla smoked the competition on EVs. |

Now include the new meter/service line ($250 to $800), the new wiring from the panel to the charger ($300 to $1000 depending on the length and difficulty), the charger itself ($100 to $600), repairing any holes that have to be made in your walls to pass the wires through, and the cost of associated permits.

that is for replacing an entire panel. a charger only requires adding an additional 240v line and adding a breaker to an existing panel. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 12:36 PM Author: ,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,.,,,,,, I have rewired extensive parts of my own house myself. You are fucking retarded if you think you can just add a line for a 32A to 48A charger to a 60A panel (which is pretty common in older houses) and expect it to work just fine. Even on a 100A panel you're going to be straining things...e.g., good luck running the charger and more than 2 of the following at the same time: electric dryer, electric heater, microwave, dishwasher.
Hell, on the Tesla website itself it says you need a 40A to 60A circuit breaker *just for the charger*. That doesn't leave you much wiggle room for 15A circuits for normal household appliances on either a 60A panel or a 100A panel.

I keep citing sources, you just keep calling me names. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 12:43 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) who the fuck has a 60 amp panel? do you live in a shed?
100 amp is the smallest you'll see in residential applications these days. level two charging requires 16-40amps. most homes will have that amount available on their existing panel, and the installation is simply adding a new breaker and running the line.
worst case scenario if someone's panel is already maxed out would be adding a subpanel, which would add maybe $500 in cost. if you don't need that, the labor and materials should be around $500 or less to just run a line + the charger. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 12:46 PM Author: ,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,.,,,,,, 60A was standard throughout the 50's and into the 60's. Lots of people live in houses that old. Have you ever been to prole America or the Rust Belt at all? 1950s houses are not uncommon.
Even with 100A, you won't have much left over after you put in the 40A or 60A breaker for the charger.
https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/gen-2-wall-connector
"worst case scenario if someone's panel is already maxed out would be adding a subpanel"
lol you don't know jack shit. this is a good way to trip the main breaker 15 times a day. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 12:58 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) most of them have been upgraded as people have begun using electricity more since the 1950s you duplicitous lunatic.
https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-does-an-ev-home-charger-cost
"In addition to the charger, EV owners must budget for labor and installation costs. Qualified electricians typically charge between $100 and $350 in labor for a standard installation procedure."
most people don't need 40+ amps in the first place. in fact the standard model 3 can only go up to 32a and they top off at 48a. level 2 charging begins at 16a which gets you 15m/hr on a model 3, which is enough for most people who drive less than 100m a day.
i had a 48a charger installed and it "cost" me $250 + the charger, and i put "cost" in quotes because that was reimbursed. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 1:06 PM Author: ,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,.,,,,,, you are the duplicitous lunatic here. when i bought my house it literally had a 60A panel still there which i had replaced. i can post a picture if you'll stfu about it. house i grew up in had a 60A panel too. again, do you know any proles at all? they haven't painted their houses since 1975 but you expect them to have gotten a $5000 panel upgrade? but again, you're getting hung up on that when even with a 100A panel it's a strain to add a 40A breaker (for the 32A charger) or a 60A breaker (for the 48A charger).
Is this guy MDS too? https://cartroubleshooters.com/how-much-to-install-tesla-charger-in-house/
Cost Range: Installing a Tesla charger at home typically costs between $1,200 and $2,400, influenced by various factors. Charger Types: The Tesla Wall Connector, priced around $500, is ideal for fast charging, while the Mobile Connector is a cost-effective alternative at about $200. Electrical Upgrades: Upgrades to the electrical panel and wiring can range from $1,000 to $5,000, significantly impacting the total installation cost. Labor Expenses: Hiring a licensed electrician incurs labor costs between $100 and $600, depending on the project’s complexity and location. Permit Fees: Installation often requires permits and inspections, adding $50 to $200 to your overall budget. Incentives and Rebates: Research local incentives and tax rebates to potentially offset installation costs for energy-efficient upgrades.
Wall Connector: The Tesla Wall Connector is the most common choice for home installations. It costs about $500.
Panel Upgrades: If your electrical panel lacks capacity, you might need an upgrade. This can range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on your local electrical costs and the panel’s condition. Wiring: If your existing wiring isn’t up to code or capable of handling the load, new wiring may be necessary. Expect additional costs between $500 and $2,000 based on the distance to the panel and installation complexity. Labor Costs Electrician Fees: Hiring a licensed electrician often costs between $50 and $150 per hour. Installation jobs typically require 2 to 4 hours, amounting to $100 to $600 in total labor costs. Permitting and Inspection: You must secure permits for installation in many areas. These costs vary widely but typically range from $50 to $200.

Date: March 17th, 2025 1:10 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) no one living in a home with a 60a breaker should be buying a tesla. you're talking about trailer park proles. they don't even put 60a in new residential homes these days. most people are going to have space on the electrical panel.

$750 for the chargepoint flex and $400 for the electrician to hardwire it with a 60 amp breaker. My breaker box was on the outside of the garage right where I wanted to mount the EVSE on the inside of the garage so it was a short run. Also a pretty new house so plenty of juice available.

$650 for the electrician to install the 240v plug in my garage (2 feet from my breaker box) that my juicebox plugs into. 2 months ago- Seattle suburbs.

$350 to install a NEMA 6/50 $70 Nema 6/50 (industrial grade) $750 for ChargePoint
I recommend to invest in an industrial grade Outlet I went for the 6/50 since it's considerable cheaper than the 14/50
the only ones higher than this is edge cases like trenching a line away from the home or upgrading a panel. this isn't something most consumers will have to deal with. |

Date: March 17th, 2025 1:12 PM Author: ,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,.,,,,,, i never said anything about 60A new houses, in fact i doubt 60A even meets the latest version National Electrical Code for new installations. but millions of people live in old houses, and millions of those have 60A or 80A panels. not just trailer park trash. my house cost $650k in 2018 and had a 60A panel. historic neighborhood so the houses are old. two neighbors with identical houses have teslas, and i owned one for less than a year myself.
anyway you still run up against the same constraints with 100A panels pretty quickly if your appliances and heating are mostly electric. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 1:20 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) most people have space on their panel as any thread you find polling people on how much their ev charger costs has similar results to why i just poasted.
60a panels are incredibly uncommon outside of fucking 700sqft homes that have never been upgraded. if you bought an old home with a 60a panel than it should be upgraded for reasons other than an ev charger. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 1:22 PM Author: ,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,.,,,,,, my house is 2,000 sq ft and they installed a 60A panel in 1959 (the date and electrician's phone number were still on the panel). it's not uncommon in houses with installations from that era....most of the houses i checked out had either 60A or 80A panels. house inspector didn't bat an eye at the panel, the red flags he was was concerned about were knob-and-tube wiring or a fuse box. apparently lots of people don't feel the need to upgrade them because i kept running into them when house hunting in this area.

i dont get why musk isnt getting trump on board with a massive EV charger buildout. it would give us more oil to sell abroad for example |

thats action. states are already freezing/stopping building out EV chargers under the plan because they worry Trump might win and actually block the reimbursemets to the states. |

Date: March 17th, 2025 1:38 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) i think that's regarding public ev charging and the feds have done an awful job with that so i don't think that's very meaningful. the bigger things are the ev purchase tax credits, which haven't been touched yet afaik.

Date: March 17th, 2025 1:45 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) it's the federal government. very few got built for that. and tesla already has a private network that is sufficient for anyone that lives in area where an ev would be practical.

Date: March 17th, 2025 4:34 PM Author: Trump is the first woman President (TT6) its state and local. its reimbursed by the feds. the feds are not picking where they go.
very few got built because its a slow state process. that doesn't mean they wont get built. less than $100m of the $5b has been spent so far.
we need evs to be practical for the country. not for UMCs who have 2 cars in a big city |

I always rent from National but they have EVs sometimes and I always get them. Chargers are pretty much everywhere. My office building has chargers, for example. A bunch of hotels do too. At least national will let you return it uncharged without charging extra. And a BMW i4 xDrive40 is faster than the overwhelming majority of the other rental alternatives by a significant margin. |

Date: March 17th, 2025 1:53 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) i said it was a bad idea in response to tt6 saying he couldn't charge at home. if you can charge at home or work then renting one is a good idea. but ime this is not as common as you're making it out to be. and it's a huge question mark if you're traveling. some hotels chargers are always in fucking use or broken. same with workplaces. not only would you have to know if you hotel/work had a charger, but also whether they're readily available.
any other sort of charging is a pain in the ass. obviously this assumes you'll need to charge yourself and you'd be going over the cars battery range. if that's not the case then it's a good idea too, but it goes without saying that if you only need to use it for a couple hundred miles and don't need to recharge it, then charging availability isn't an issue. |
