Yes, it’s EV Day here at TTAC. Well, morning. And despite last night’s harangue, one of our Best and Brightest is ready to rock and roll in plug-in paradise. He’s seen the promised land. And he wants to know how to get there with you. Electricians of the world unite! Your time is at hand! Etc..
I have a question for the B&B. While remodeling my home I installed a dedicated line (10/3 wire) to a 30A exterior outlet box on the outside of my house by my driveway. What breaker size and plug type should I install? I’m trying to future proof my home for the day we’re all driving some sort of PHEV. At the very least I’ll be able to use a welder or install a dryer in my driveway.

I think the Tesla home charger is a 70amp circuit You might want to ask Calacanis what he bought.
You guys are really scaring me with all this EV stuff. If I have more Better Place nightmares, I'm going to blame it on you.
