Our last event was at AMP (Atlanta Motorsports Park) which is a road course, and it was fantastic. We had around 50 drivers, with 20 being EV, and had Tesla, Rivian, and BMW sponsoring the event.
The decision to host the 2025 event at Lanier Raceway was made to encourage divers with less HPDE...
Hopefully soon! V2G has been in the works for some time now, but it’s getting close! https://electrek.co/2025/02/21/nema-bidirectional-ev-charging-standard/
Guys, our team has installed over 50 of these systems and struggled with this issue on our first few jobs. For us, this error was usually:
1) The 4 conductor communication wire either has a loose connection or is not landed properly in the Universal Wall Connector or Getaway. Common when using...
If you pull off the cover plate on the gateway, there will be a green and blue LED light on the control board at the top right. Your installer should have pulled a 4 conductor wire for communication and 12VDC from the UTWC to the Gateway, which provides power/comms to the board in the event of...
If you already have powerwalls and a gateway, the PowerShare Gateway is not needed. All you need to do is install the Universal Wall Connector on a 60A circuit fed from your existing gateway with a 4 conductor communication wire that terminates in the charger and gateway. Tesla will have this...
Thank you Scott! We enjoyed the adventure, the beautiful mountain scenery, and your company. We even went for a nice 4AM rip on the Dragon in the M3P on our way out the next morning! It was glorious!
Hey everyone! We are a non-Qmerit PS installer in GA/NC. I can help shed some light on this subject. Also, you don't HAVE to use a Qmerit installer! You just need a Tesla PowerShare certified installer.
The CT provides 48A(11.5kW) of continuous power, and can handle instantaneous peak currents...
Awesome, thank you! I was just up your way last weekend doing a supply drop for hurricane victims and to run the Tail of The Dragon/Cherohala Skyway/28. Since we've left, the Dragon and 28 show as road closures. Do you know what's going on up there?
Yes sir. They might be gouging some for sure, but Qmerit also has fee's associated with installation for providing their platform/services that drive up the cost. It also cost the contractor $$$ to be a Qmerit partner installer, so they might be marking up the jobs to recoup that investment...
Yes, as long as they are a Tesla Powershare Installer they will need to create a PO in their Tesla Partner portal and submit it to Tesla to receive credit... I will say that they may have to wait a while for Tesla to pay them as their responsiveness has not been great.
If any of you guys are in Georgia, and would prefer to bypass Qmerit for installation, please give us a call at 404-520-7349. We are a Tesla Premier Installer for Tesla Energy products and have installed over 50 Tesla Powershare systems for our customers in the Atlanta area. We offer a...
Are you ready to take your electric (OR ICE) beast to the limit? This is SILENT THUNDER, a no-holds-barred track day event for EVs AND ICE vehicles that’ll push your car and your skills to the edge. Join us at Atlanta Motorsports Park on October 21st from 3 PM to 7 PM, and let's show the world...
Mike, there is a bit of backstory to the PowerShare journey to first consider.
We are a Tesla Energy Partner installer, which means we are vetted/trained through Tesla to install their Energy Product Suite. (Wall Connector, Powerwall, Backup Gateway, etc.) We had been working with Tesla on...
It needs to be a 300V rated 4 conductor wire. We use 16/4 FPLP Solid Fire Alarm Cable. The solid wiring makes termination in the Wall Connector much easier than if you were to use stranded wire(Which is much more common/available).
If you have 3/4" conduit running to your WC it shouldn't be...
Mike, we’ve installed around 50 PowerShare units, with the average cost at $3250. We choose to handle the process independently in order to provide an personable and seamless installation experience. Located in Atlanta, GA.
Also, the existing Wall Connector will need to be swapped for a...
