Before I started directing as much as possible of my investment dollars into TSLA, I had been a believer (and still am) of what I call the ‘John C. Bogle school of investing”. Bogle was the person who founded The Vanguard Group, and more to the point, the practice of Index Funds in general and...
TOPIC: Xcel EVSE Pilot Program (They're NOT Chargers!)
I've come across some interesting information re public EVSE stations ("Charging Stations") in the Xcel energy service area.
{Note for non-Minnesotans: Before a merger, Xcel was better known as NSP, 'Northern States Power'. It may...
I was going to get a Mitzubishi Outlander PHEV, then I heard of another delay in bringing that vehicle to the US, and got on the Model 3 reservation list that night: Oct. 6th, 2016.
Then once the 3 was out, they announced the Y and I got on the Y list.
Then they announced the CyberTruck and...
Huh. OK. Learn something new every day.
But my priorities remain the same:
- CyberTruck for ME first.
- Then the "Y" for my wife, and the Volt for my daughter.

Here's another CT reservation holder from Minnesota.
(South Minneapolis, almost within hearing range of where the G.F. riots took place.)
On October 6th, 2006 I heard or read the news that Mitzubishi was going to have yet ONE MORE DELAY in bringing their "Outlander" plug-in-hybrid crossover...
Thanks for the reply. I THINK you understood my question, but just-in-case I want to clarify a few things...
In the LONG run, what I'm really interested in finding out ahead of time if the Tesla Cybertruck (or the "Y" for that matter) will ever have an on-board-charger rated for 64 Amps (80...
UPDATE:
The circuit breaker panel where the J-Box/Receptacle-box is controlled from is 83 feet away, to include one lockable residential door and 8 steps downstairs. The breaker itself is compatible with a Square-D "QO1PL" accessory lock attachment point. I reread "Accessible, Readily...

Oh crap, I missed that Article.
See attached images.
I installed a pair of Eaton "CHU1S" receptacle/junction boxes,
The plan was to have one (50 Amp) receptacle for portable EVSE(s) and a pull-through to a second (80 Amp) hard-wired EVSE.
Now that my eyes have been opened to...
Can you provide me with a code reference?
As I understand the 2017 NEC's TIA, there is a 50 Amp limit for a _RECEPTACLE_, but there is no such limit (or GFCI requirement) for a hard-wired EVSE.
FFI, see the NEC's TIA 17-2 for Articles 625.44(A), 625.54(New) and 625.56(New).
...and yes, I do...
If you like, skip down for the key question...
BACKGROUND INFO:
In previous years, I have pre-installed:
two 1.5 inch pre-installed PVC conduit(s) going out to the detached garage on the north side of my driveway (length forgotten, but likely more than 100 feet)
and
two (one still available)...
