If it was a feeding a 6-50 outlet, it would be fine.
60A breaker is code compliant under 240.4(B)
Where's the neutral?
Where has this always been written?
If the Romex is on a 50A breaker at the panel it would still be protected, even if he has 60A at the sub panel but I think you would still be limited to 40A charging because that is your weakest link. I chose to go a step down, I have a 50A on the Romex, I'd rather have it under the rating than slightly over. I know a bunch of people have run it on a 60A and don't have issues, I wasn't willing to take that chance to charge a little bit faster. I charge it overnight anyway, so an extra hour or whatever doesn't matter to me.
Neutral? None needed. This is only for Tesla Wall Connector, 2 hots and a ground. That's it. 6/2 MC.
When I was receiving bids for my condo association to have our parking garage wired for EVs, I checked a handful of chargers -- they were all L1/L2/GFI. Although the Ford did have neutral listed as "optional." I did end up talking the electrician who took our bid into wiring neutral also (his initial bid didn't include it), even though it's not even connected in most chargers....at least not now. But I didn't know what the future could hold. It also also for an easy tap of L1 to neutral for unit owners who wanted 120V in their parking stall for e-bikes and such.
You have a very DANGEROUS setup here with your L1 & neutral wired to a120v receptacle. First, I don't know how you wired from a #6 size wire down to a #12 to the 120v receptacle but even more DANGEROUS is that your L1 is on a 60 amp breaker and your wiring that over a #12 wire to the 120v receptacle.
How do you know what gauge wire the electrician used? How do you know what breaker he used? How do you know what the electrician did from the L1/L2/neutral drop to the 120VAC outlet? But whatever (was only replying to Mongo in the first place, who's an even keel sort). Think as you wish.
I could be wrong, but I don't think you can set the car to charge at 44A, it's either 40 or 50A as your choices. If there's a way to set it to 44A, let me know how to do it so I can change mine.
You can't set the Wall Connector itself to 44A. However, I think Group Power Management does allow arbitrary total current levels like 44A.
It is code approved in certain cases to tap branch conductors to an additional breakerand load (but of course, one should not put a 15A receptacle directly on a 50A circuit)
Yes, for a branch circuit to a Wall Connector, neutral is not needed. However, that wasn't what you called out:
I bring up this point since if the current feed is 6/2, adding a sub panel on the existing cable isn't possible.
You don't set the car to 44AMPS (I think you can do that but that is not what you want). You set the max powershare amount to 44AMPS which then only allows the sum of all wall connectors to pull 44AMPS total.....I have 3 wall connectors setup this way such that they can pull either 14amps each, 22Amps each or 44Amps depending on how many cars are charging at once.
Correct, I set the total group to 44AMPS
Right, but he stated he has a 60a breaker on the 6/2 romex.
You are basing your calculation on 6/2 Romex being rated for 55a. However, 6/2 Romex should be on a 50a Breaker, NOT 60a. So you should base your calculation on 50a x .8 = 40a continuous load.
