If I have any say in the matter, I'll NEVER have an electric car. I put more long distance miles on my vehicles than I do local driving.

I doubt I'll ever need the 80, I'm done doing heavy draw projects AFAIK . I had 100A in the last shop and never came close to maxing it out.

My run will have 4 90° sweeps, the run is all downhill to the garage. The hardest part is that the panel in the house is in a back bedroom so i am going to need at least 3 helpers to control the cable as we feed it from the house end out.

Thank you for that, I'm in South Carolina, nowhere near Canada. I'll read through your post linked above before i ask any more questions.

So ground and neutral should not be bonded at the shop panel?

Wyliesdiesel, I'm running 2-2-2-4 from the house, ground and neutral from the house, I thought I read here that you shouldn't have ground rods at the shop if running 4 wire from main panel. ?? Everything indoors will be in conduit runs.

Thanks. Is there room there to step up to 80 amps if needed in the future? I have no plan for any heavy draw items other than a window AC unit on occasion and a small air compressor.

Garage is up and I'm getting ready to run power from the house main panel to the garage sub- panel, the run will be 170ft +/- . Run will start in main panel, drop into the basement in pvc conduit and exit down the wall to 24" underground where it will run direct burial to the garage. My plan is...

Thought I'd update everyone, the building was erected 2nd week of October, since then I got the doors in, gable vent installed and insulation installed. Next is getting power to the building and getting it wired up. Here are a few pictures.

8 hours ! Thats amazing !! Same size I'm building only with 11 foot legs.

Spoke with the two manufactures under consideration and was told by both that there is no issue with my slab plan and they can install on it. Their only requirement is flat, level and square. My 1st choice so far is a local company that manufacturers and handles installs in house. Thanks...

NW South Carolina is where we are. Please do let me know who you used.

Yes, I have my list of requirements for what i want. My last quotes were 2 months ago.

I am in northwestern South Carolina. Site prep is underway and 30x40 slab will be poured next week. Looking at tube steel buildings that I will use for parking and storage.
