I have already contacted the three Electricians EMW had given me. They
expressed the Dr's Redwood City site was a long distance for them (out of
their normal territory).
For a Tesla owner that does not wish to support the general EV
population, Tesla charging equipment is attractively priced. Probably
as your doctor knows. Tesla equipment will open the charge port without
doing so through the in-the-car display. That is, it is more
convenient to use. A "wall connector" is $500-$550 and will do up to 80
amps. The installation manual says:
Note: The Wall Connector is approved for
outdoor use, but it is not designed for
complete immersion in liquid. Protection from
rain is recommended but not required.
->I<- think the good doctor should not worry about "moochers", supply a
J1772 outlet, and do his little bit to help other EVers.
->I<- think breakers will likely serve better than "safety switches".
Breakers are pretty easily replaced and likely to be cheaper than other
types of switches. It is probably poor practice to use any high current
switch to frequently start or stop current flow. Relays in EVs and
EVSEs are designed for frequent use.
Disclaimer: I am not an electrician but do a great deal of my farm
electric work.
