Let me check on the wire used. It looked very heavy.

That sounds interesting. Any pics of the setup? Thanks

So for the EV, it'll be fine, from the sounds of it. I won't charge the EV anytime but overnight, I imagine. And if that changed, I'd unplug it to use the 240 elsewhere. Thanks.

I had the electrician add a 100A sub panel from the 400A service of the house. They pulled two 240v runs. One for a disconnect to use with my future mini split for the garage, and the other, an outlet in the back corner of the garage. Right now, it's got a blank plate over the end. Electrician...
