It's 48 amps only if the electrician hardwires it, otherwise plugging it into a 14-50 outlet decreases it to 40 amps max like other wall chargers.
The electrician should've at least mentioned the two ways of installing it. And with the charger being amounted that close to the main panel, it seems there's no excuse for not hardwiring it rather than going through the trouble of wiring up a new 14-50 outlet in a new RV weatherproof enclosure.
Hardwire is a better option.
A nema 14-50 plug can carry 50 amps max. So, it can handle 48 amps, just not safely within code. You want a 20% buffer, so 60 amps.
Also, I didn’t look it closely but that could have been a NEMA 14-60 plug, which would be safe and in code for 48 amp.
Now he has two adapters, his Tesla already came with one
They didn't install with a GFCI breaker!
The "professional" should have known better.
Should have one yes, but I don't believe it's required by code in all states. If the charger had been hardwired, a standard breaker is allowed.
Not necessary. The Emporia has built-in GFCI protection.
Shoulda hardwired it
Depends on the situation. 40amp vs 48amp isn't that big of a deal to me, but if it's outdoors and could be stolen, yes. The electrician should've at least mentioned the two ways of installing it. And with the charger being mounted that close to the main panel, it seems there's no excuse for not hardwiring it rather than going through the trouble of wiring up a new 14-50 outlet in a new RV weatherproof enclosure.
Also, I'm aware that plugging and unplugging into a cheap 14-50 electrical outlet isn't good for the prongs, but is a semi-permanent charger that won't be unplugged. He should've used a heavy duty Hubble or Bryant outlet just in case.
The electrician may or may not have gone over the installation options/price differences.
NEB code violation without hardwire on 48amp EV charging.
Hardwired is better and will charge faster at 48 amps.
His tesla can't charge that fast anyway
Look at his screen. The charge rate was limited to 32 amps. The speed difference alone is minimal between 40 amps and 48 amps and shouldn't be the main reason for a hardwired install.
@@rkgsd The charge rate was set to 32 amps in the app. It comes that way. He needs to set it to 40 amps in the Emporia app.
@@henrycruz45cal The 32 amps was set by the app in the EVSE. He needed to set it to 40 amp in the Emporia app. You seriously think a Tesla can't charge at more than 32 amps?
@@rkgsd Not sure why my reply was removed. But it would take 1 hour less to charge mt Mustang Mach E from 20 to 80% soc with a 48 amp EVSE vs a 40 amp ESVE.
