    My electrician installed a 14/50 outlet for 600 dollars. He ran about 30 feet of line and I later discovered he installed an industrial outlet. I wonder if the reason the garage burned down was that the outlet was a residential outlet and over heated. Might not be the fault of the car at all. Might even be the fault of the driver. Some people are too quick to make accusations. I've had an electric car for 7 years that is 10 years old with over 120,000 miles and no problems. I consider battery degradation to be an expectation not a problem. Neither the car nor wiring have gone up in flames.

      Detached garage sucks if you cant do it yourself or know somebody because its expensive. I did the work for one of my neighbor recently who had a detached garage. His main panel was full and we thought about using tandems to make room, but decided to just add a feeder circuit to a sub panel right next to it. This way, it was still very affordable and have plenty of room for future expansion. I ran a conduit out of the new sub up the basement and outside to a 100amp QO 6 space outdoor panel just to have a service switch. Ran a 60ft pvc conduit underground with 3awg thwn-2 to the garage with a new 100amp QO sub panel. PVC conduit for burial only and transitioned to emt above ground; i just hate exposed pvc because it expands, contracts, changes color and sometimes sag over time. Also drove in two ground rods 6ft apart at the detached garage. Price of all material and an hardwired Emporia ev charger was $2000 and he paid me $1000 for the work with neighbor discount. Could be a bit cheaper, but he insisted on using Square D QO panels, the Homeline would be just fine at half the price. If you are handly, you can do it yourself, just make sure everything's up to code.

    America doesn't and will never have the charging grid (with fast chargers like J1772) for EV travel across the US. It's clown-act blowing smoke up your ass. A 10 hour trip will take 15-20 hours trying to consistently find "working and available EV FAST chargers" that are "open and available" immediately when you locate them. You will spend a large majority of your trip charging that fugking EV u own. Can't wait for CourtTV to have the first EV Charger homicide trial. You know the person........the asshat that steals the parking spot you were hurrying along to grab? Yeah, same-same but add in a homicide. The EV is a moronic concept thinking you will gleefully travel the continent driving your EV everywhere with a big smile.

    A bit misleading and poorly informed 1:24. A subpanel can be installed for just a few hundred dollars. You don't really need to do an entire panel swap. The level 2 charger can be bought from Amazon. Most are now priced less than $300. A rule of thumb is to always avoid any vendor that shows up with complications and outrageously expensive nonsense.

    • @MyElectricHomeCO
      @MyElectricHomeCO Рік тому

      Great call out, and we agree... there are several options when it comes to offering solutions based on the customer's needs and future electrical wants. The purpose of this shorter video was to touch upon 3 scenarios; easy install, available breaker space and customer provided EV charger which does result in lower installation costs. We've done a few EV chargers as low as $600, but that is not the norm. The other two options; longer runs with some complexity, cover the typical install and are in that $1k - $2k range. Lastly, and only about 5%-10% of the time, when truly out of panel breaker space, condition of panel (Federal Pacific as an example) and availability of breakers... the panel swap option is the way to go. We had a customer with a 20/40 panel that had all tandems and used all 40 spaces - which did not allow for adding an EV charger, along with the future solar and battery (ordered), hot tub, mini-split addition for supplemental heating/cooling, etc. He also wanted the ability to manage (via app and remotely from anywhere with internet) his battery back-up via SPAN, which allows changing which circuits are in battery back-up, vs. being locked in to a specific sub-panel type set up as with most generator or hard-wired back-up systems. So... that would have been a better panel to show in the video, for the panel swap recommendation. We might look to make a new video to clarify some of your points, and also talk about quad breakers, and a sub panel option as well. Thanks for watching the video and your comment.

SPAN sent this kit to customers who purchased a SPAN electrical panel between 2021 and 2022. This makes the inset panel more rigid and seat more firmly inside the panel. Use caution and avoid contact with any wires behind the inset, and consult with an electrician if necessary. www.myelectrichomes.com
