This is conceptually what I think I need to do too. Am I correct in assuming that once enabled, the CT will only be able to power one of panels at a time? I was wondering if using a 400a service rated Automatic Transfer Switch would allow both panels to be fed at the same time? But I believe...

So it reads like you still have the 6/2 romex from the panel to the subpanel? If so, the 60a breaker is not code compliant, and could fail to protect the romex in an overload situation. Is it "probably safe"? Sure, but that exceeds my risk tolerance, since a fire is the potential outcome...

Just want to ask for clarification - You say 6 guage, but not what type? If it's THHN, then you can do 48a. BUT if it's ROMEX, you need to reduce down to 40a, and you should have a 50a breaker. Only asking because your numbers don't match either standard, and want to make sure you stay safe.

Interesting. My 5'2" wife has to hop up a little to get in. I was planning to get some running boards to help her.

I literally just did this yesterday. I'm not comfortable working in a power panel, but plenty comfortable working at the end of a breakered circuit. First off, Romex 6/2 is rated for 55a at 60 Celsius. As you know, you have to use it on a 50a breaker, and set your WC for 40a to meet the 80%...

Yep, I figured that was the difference between the 32.64kWh they charged me for vs. the 30kWh the car shows added.

The 9% is coming from starting at 80% in the morning, and ending at 71% after charging. I didn't use 9% parked, more like 2%, if even that. So that would leave 7%.

So I bought a CCS1 dongle from Amazon, and wanted to test it to make sure it works before I just stick it in the truck for emergencies. I tried charging at a Mercedes Benz DC fast charge location, listed as 400v. I could NOT get it to charge. I tried connecting the connector to the adapter...

I did the same. I specifically asked them to wire it with #6 THHN so I could use it for hardwiring later (they wouldn't prewire without an outlet), but naturally they used romex instead...

"Hooah" Only problem I see is you are using an Army term for the Air Force...

Ah, I see then. Charging at the same time is really of no importance to me, at least right now. I actually have a NEMA 14-50 right next to UWC1 (on it's own breaker) that I could use if I wanted to charge both faster at no additional cost, I just don't want to deal with moving the cable when...

Thanks, reading through that now, plus a couple of related threads that show at the bottom of that one. Doesn't look like it can work that way, at least not anytime soon. Was hoping it would work, and I could see how useful it is before determining if I want to get solar and PWs, without...

Hmmm. Not sure what you are trying to imply? Don't find this to be particularly helpful to the question I asked, but "thanks" I guess?

I just bought a CT this weekend, and certainly see the appeal of the Powershare feature. I have question about Daisy Chaining two UWCs together. I already have 1 UWC installed for my M3P. It runs from the power panel to the middle garage stall. I want to add another UWC for the CT. The CT...
