There is tech starting to emerge that will allow you to go higher by pre-empting other appliances. (it's available now in "the Span" at the $8000 price point, not a coincidence, but will drop like a stone soon. Eaton and Square D are working on it, and Eaton will support Siemens and GE panels.) Just watch the NEC 2020 GFCI gotcha. Hardwired is no big deal if you have to. | |
| Jun 16, 2022 at 18:44 | comment | added | Sergey Kalinichenko | Thank you very much for the extended answer. My outlet is on a non-GFC 40A breaker, so I am planning to commission the wall connector at 32A. Realistically, I can't do much more, because my service is a 100A, and the quote for upgrading it to 200A was prohibitively expensive (>$8,000). The rest of the appliances draw ~30A when turned on together, so adding Tesla at 48A, or even at 40A, would put me too close to the 80% limit. | |
