Ok, given all that, what am I missing? Other options/learnings/experiences on running two chargers? Of course if I must have the ChargePoint as is, I can always run two circuits, one for each. I don’t suppose anyone has any inside information about ChargePoint adding the power sharing capability? BUT, in doing my research on which chargers to install, I really like the ChargePoint Home Flex better than than the Juicebox. Run one circuit for both and let the chargers handle the load between the two. Not a horrible scenario given the 48amp charge times, but I’d really like the convenience of not having to remember to swap the charger to the other vehicle and certainly don’t want to get up in the middle of the night to switch(taking advantage of the cheaper power rates of course).Īnother option is to leverage the power sharing feature of the Juicebox 48’s. As I see it, the options I have are to install one charger and share with the two vehicles. And finally, I have a big enough panel in the garage to handle two additional 60amp circuits if needed. I have an electrical contractor that I trust to do the install(s) as well. I intend to install the hard-wired version(s) of a charger to take advantage of 48 amp charging. So I will have two EV’s that will need charging at home and I’m noodling thru my options. I’ve also reserved the new EV Lightning and intend to purchase it as soon as they release it. Never had an EV but currently have a GTPE that is scheduled to be built next week. Been lurking here a bit trying to learn as much as I can about the EV life and this forum has been a great resource.
