What will it look like in a few more years, if gas stays high, and the [blue lawmakers] get a fresh EV tax credit in place? It will be Tesla City everywhere! I suppose they could add more chargers as demand grows or you might have to show up first to get a work charge.
I’ve already asked if they’d add more outlets at work and they said the panel is at capacity, so it’s all we’re getting.
The Genesis was a lot nicer driving car, smooth, comfortable, long distance pavement queen.
…It does
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to look these up, I’ve only asked it to find a restaurant or address, and to open the butthole
Click the steering wheel button and say, "I'm hot" or "I'm cold". "Open glovebox". "Open my butthole".Thanks! I’ve been meaning to look these up, I’ve only asked it to find a restaurant or address, and to open the butthole
Well like anything, the owners would just pay to upgrade their service and run new wires. That's basically the cost of infrastructure upgrades to handle higher electrical demands. Probably a few thousand dollars per new outlet.
The bigger problem is the service panel. Older houses tend to have the smaller service panels, as small as 60A I believe. Our 1962 house was an electrical nightmare. We rewired it and had a 200A panel installed during a remodel. Came in handy when we ran the #6 copper wire and NEMA 14-50 into the garage.
Yeah, that's the few thousand dollars I was talking about. The cost of a new panel is anywhere from 1-2k depending on how much the electricians want to charge for labor. It might be something like water heaters where it should only be a few hundred for a couple hours of works, but maybe they want thousands as it's their bread and butter. Then it's a few hundred to run a new line. But that's probably just for one or two outlets, could be lots more if you want several.
Around here you have to get a permit and get is signed off before PG&E will do the drop to the new panel. It ain't cheap. I forget what I paid; a close friend did the work; he is a senior electrician.
