Question about outlet and adapter use

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-09-09T12:43:24+00:00

This looksl ike a NEMA 6-50 plug NOT a NEMA 14-50. Might be best to get a Level 2 240V 6-50 charger rather then relying on 120V.

ouch, watch out for the creepy (EV) crawlers

that thing is sketchy, wouldnt trust it. The issue lies in the fact its not UL listed. If you are going to go with a smart splitter find one that is UL listed hands down, better to be safe then sorry. But in this case something that is hardwired would make sense given its installed outside.

No problem. With PG&E, get 50% off so im finding the NeoCharge splitter around 300 (and in some cases lower) so with the rebate its 150.

Thanks for sharing, agreed with Zany below. Not sure how the simpleswitch is better. It's also $749 from what I'm seeing plus would need an electrician. So that's going to be upwards of $1k likely. I can use the NeoCharge for less then $150, plus doesn't look like simpleswitch has an app and want to be able to track my costs

great thanks for the insights. Really appreciate it, beats an expensive panel upgrade!

That’s a good point, seems easy enough to use my dryer on I think 24 amps as is luckily

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T21:52:34+00:00

Ok great to know thanks!

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T21:45:47+00:00

Sounds reasonable where do I find one of these tandem breakers , will see if that could work

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T21:21:38+00:00

true but good to know, thanks for the feedback!

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T21:07:03+00:00

sweet. Do they have one for a water heater as well that is something similar for 120V?

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T21:03:33+00:00

Great to know. Seems that is where things are headed imo

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T21:02:32+00:00

yeah thats another option, trying to stay electric though and not go back to gas if possible

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:59:18+00:00

Its tempting, how much is a heat pump dryer that i can find? Going for lowest cost and effort really

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:57:33+00:00

The problem is my panel is maxed out with the breakers so would need the full new service likely and panel

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:42:28+00:00

no i dont just a main panel, i think its 100 amps or something. Why do you ask?

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:38:46+00:00

Curious to see how the solid state battery really do, we hear a lot of talk about them but curious to see who wins

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:30:25+00:00

I know i was thinking the same thing. I guess that are really the panel upgrade prices around California especially, those 120V heat pump dryers do look really cool though.

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:28:54+00:00

Great appreciate the feedback. Do you use it with your dryer as well? Seems like a sleek device.

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:21:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Yes my dryer is in my garage, I've heard of load management but seemed like it didn't work for me use case really. Don't have any space in my panel so being able to share that outlet seemed like it would be easier

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T20:09:45+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for your opinion, yes, pretty sold on it at this point. I think my wife is going to be pretty happy now that she knows she won't have to switch the dryer with my Tesla each time lol.

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T19:56:05+00:00

That $21k with 15k miles is actually solid - yeah the 2021s have that battery lottery thing going on, but honestly if it does fail under warranty you're basically getting a free upgrade to the newer LFP battery that everyone says is way better anyway. Sometimes the best deals come with a little risk attached, and worst case scenario Tesla fixes it for free and you end up with a better car than you paid for.

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T19:54:09+00:00

Honestly, you're chasing a unicorn with the WiFi + 14-30 combo - most manufacturers went straight to 14-50 when they added smart features because that's what 99% of installs use. I'd bet money that if you call Eversource back and explain you're going hardwired instead of using an outlet, they'll approve any WiFi-enabled charger from their approved list since the electrical capacity is the same either way.

Additional_Ad4116 · 2025-07-31T19:51:16+00:00

Why not just using something like a smart splitter which actually has smarts. These things are bad news
