    Man forced to ditch $115K Ford EV truck during family road trip to Chicago: 'biggest scam of modern times'

    By Bradford Betz | FOXBusiness
    Published August 10, 2023 7:41pm EDT

    A Canadian man is calling electric vehicles the "biggest scam of modern
    times" after his frustrating experience with an electric truck.

    Dalbir Bala, who lives in the Winnipeg area, bought a Ford F150 Lightning EV
    in January for $115,000, plus tax. He told FOX Business he needed the
    vehicle for his work, but also wanted something suitable for recreational activities such as driving to his cabin or going fishing. He also wanted an environmentally friendly vehicle as owning one is "responsible citizenship these days."

    But Bala was quickly hit with the reality of owning and operating an EV soon after the purchase. The vehicle compelled him to install two charges - one
    at work and one at home - for $10,000. To accommodate the charger, he had to upgrade his home's electric panel for $6,000.

    In all, Bala spent more than $130,000 - plus tax.

    Not long after the purchase, Bala got into a minor accident which, he said, required "light assembly" on the front bumper. Bala took the vehicle to the body shop and did not get it back for six months. He said no one from Ford answered his email or phone calls for help.

    The limitations of the EV truck became even more apparent when Bala embarked
    on a chaotic 1,400-mile road trip to Chicago.

    Fast charging stations - which only charge EV's up to 90% - cost more than
    gas for the same mileage. On the family's first stop in Fargo, North Dakota,
    it took two hours and $56 to charge his vehicle from 10% to 90%. The charge
    was good for another 215 miles.

    On the second stop, in Albertville, Minnesota, the free charger was faulty
    and the phone number on the charging station was of no help, he said. The family drove to another charging station in Elk River, Minnesota, but the charger was faulty there as well.

    "This sheer helplessness was mind-boggling," Bala wrote in an online post.
    "My kids and wife were really worried and stressed at this point."

    There were no other fast charging stations within range of Elk River and his vehicle only had 12 miles left.

    "By now it was late afternoon. We were really stuck, hungry, and
    heartbroken," Bala said.

    Bala ultimately had the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership in Elk River and rented a regular gas vehicle to complete the family's trip to Chicago. The family picked up the F150 on their way back to Winnipeg.

    "It was in [the] shop for 6 months. I can't take it to my lake cabin. I
    cannot take it for off-grid camping. I cannot take for even a road trip,"
    Bala wrote. "I can only drive in city - biggest scam of modern times."

    Bala told FOX Business he believes the government needs to do more to
    "provide consumers with the right information."

    "People have to make the right choices. I want to tell everybody to read my story," he said. "Do your research before even thinking about it and make a wiser choice."

    "The actual thing they promised is not even close. Not even 50%. And once
    you buy it, you're stuck with it and you have to carry huge losses to get
    rid of that. And nobody is there to help you."

    I have a trendy neighbor who bought a Ford F150 EV for work. He's not too happy with it. He is a general contractor and sometimes runs bags of
    sand, rock, cement to project sites. His biggest complaint is the lack of
    guts getting up hills loaded, and he's on his second set of brakes from
    the extra vehicle weight.

    Not surprising... given unloaded he's probably has more weight than the ICE pickup does fully loaded.

    A six cylinder truck will have the same problem.

    A rancher's Rivian truck first 10,000 mile review of it. He has some problems with it.

    You're a fucking idiot if you buy an electric vehicle to make long
    trips in. Period.

    It's the equivalent of driving across country in 1915.

    They're good for driving in town and short commutes.

    No, you stupid fuck. You need to read and understand the information
    that is provided. Quit asking the government to hold your hand.

    Bullshit....

    That's some tasty stuff! Like some crow with it?

    'In theory, you can buy the ConnectDER collar today in certain areas, but you probably can’t install it yourself. Unfortunately, the product has to be approved for use on a state-by-state basis, and it can even differ for individual electric
    utilities. You’ll probably still need a licensed electrician to install it.'

    Now do the office --'in theory.'

    Good luck with the landlord and utility providers.

    Eat it, asswipe.

    No Crow here....with these "smart electric meters," if a person
    removes it, the electric utility will know, and in my area, give you a
    $500.00 "ticket." Utility company must be informed first.

    Installation takes less than an hour, and estimated cost around
    $500.00 total for a basic install.

    With electrical equipment, usually the State/City/Utility determines
    what they approve of for usage. Product is new, and has been used in
    Solar industry....they are upgrading their plant to produce them for
    EV industry.

    upgrade his home's electric panel for $6,000.

    You can buy a fast charger on Amazon for $200 that will let you set the >>>> charge rate to match your panel.

    Cheap Chinese shit. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

    Its the cheapest charger on Amazon. There are dozens under $500.

    So they don't cost $5,000 apiece after all, lieboy?

    Why not guestimate the cost of permitting, main panel expansion, 240V 50A home
    runs, outdoor panels, terminals, local, fire underwriters and UL close-out inspections, and time to completion?

    Fortunately you don't have to do any of that, because the chargers can be
    set to draw however much current your existing panel can supply. You didn't bother to even look at them.

    Easily $10K and four to six months, here, for only the home facilities. Now do
    the office.

    Utter bullshit.

    Makes one wonder how the power grid will support the added demand of every
    home and office having EV chargers with the current infrastructure which
    can barely keep up right now. It’s not like more nuclear power stations
    are getting built. Is solar power going to provide all the extra power
    needed for charging private and commercial EVs? How expensive will
    electricity become when natural gas and oil become outlawed?

    Sure, sparky. Go for it.

    'All mass-produced electric vehicles today include a 110-volt-compatible
    (Level 1) charging unit which is able to be plugged into any standard
    110v household outlet. The downside of EV charging with a 110v outlet is
    that it takes a while. Level 1 charging provides approximately four to
    five miles of range per hour charged. For an eight-hour overnight
    charge, this will enable traveling around 36 to 40 miles which is great
    for people who drive less than 50 miles (80 km) a day. '

    One needs to do more research on this topic.

    Sure, there will always be people who will spend much more than other
    for a home EV charger setup.

    I live in a rural location with no codes, and here, just the cost of
    an electrical box, weather proof outlet, and some wiring. Maybe in the
    low $100.00 range, or less. I've got 200amp service...no issue here.

    Others might spend in $6k range to upgrade their electrical panel,
    etc.

    But, with Siemens' new home EV charger coming soon, this will greatly
    reduce installation cost for those who can use it.

    Why lasers could help make the electric grid greener

    Sensors can help utilities get real-time data on their power lines,
    which can allow them to send more renewable electricity through the
    wires. This tech is part of a suite of innovations that could help the
    U.S. increase its grid capacity faster and cheaper than building new transmission lines.
    ...
    ...
    With this tech, called "dynamic line rating", utilities are able to

    Problem. You need permission of the utility company to install, you now have

    prohibits you from installing a meter base that allows to hook up emergency power via the same means.

    In short, it's fix of a sort, but with massive shortcomings that still
    doesn't address the issues of where this power is going to come from particularly in times of excessive demand.

    It's a workaround for the inherent problems and limits of EV that doesn't really address the fundamental issues.

    Then you still have to figure out how to run this exposed conduit to where

    you want to 'hide' it. Yea, having an ugly electrical conduit runs over your siding is going to look so good. Plus it creates a whole news additional expense each time you have to do anything with the siding in that area. The best part is now the electric company can decide when and if you can charge. Might wake up in the morning and find you still have 2% charge. I wonder if your boss will understand?

    Makes one wonder how the power grid will support the added demand of every home and office having EV chargers with the current infrastructure which
    can barely keep up right now. It’s not like more nuclear power stations are getting built. Is solar power going to provide all the extra power
    needed for charging private and commercial EVs? How expensive will electricity become when natural gas and oil become outlawed?


    Electricity supply and distribution rates are already increasing.

    Wait for even higher VC-backed and flipped 'alternative energy' sources
    and interconnect costs to kick in.

    The market will be begging for more 'traditional' nuclear plants

    Sure, there will always be people who will spend much more than other
    for a home EV charger setup.

    I live in a rural location with no codes, and here, just the cost of
    an electrical box, weather proof outlet, and some wiring. Maybe in the
    low $100.00 range, or less. I've got 200amp service...no issue here.

    Others might spend in $6k range to upgrade their electrical panel,
    etc.

    But, with Siemens' new home EV charger coming soon, this will greatly
    reduce installation cost for those who can use it.


    IOW, you're an apt cherry-picker. Good for you, and god luck.

    Most in the charger market are not, and/or cannot be, whether

    Don't suggest otherwise.

    No Crow here....with these "smart electric meters," if a person
    removes it, the electric utility will know, and in my area, give you a
    $500.00 "ticket."  Utility company must be informed first.

    Installation takes less than an hour, and estimated cost around
    $500.00 total for a basic install.

    With electrical equipment, usually the State/City/Utility determines
    what they approve of for usage.  Product is new, and has been used in
    Solar industry....they are upgrading their plant to produce them for
    EV industry.

    Coming Soon....


    'when it's available', if ever

    At the article's hoped-for price point of $1500 -- plus utility fine,
    plus local permit, plus licensed electrician, plus local/UL/fire
    inspections, plus fire insurance

    Or will it be a DIY shade-tree job?

    You'll be charging on your lawn, near the meter, right?

    Good luck, sparky!

    LMAO.

    Then you still have to figure out how to run this exposed conduit to
    where the charger will actually be.. that's going to be at least $1K and
    more if you want to 'hide' it. Yea, having an ugly electrical conduit
    runs over your siding is going to look so good. Plus it creates a whole
    news additional expense each time you have to do anything with the
    siding in that area. The best part is now the electric company can
    decide when and if you can charge. Might wake up in the morning and find
    you still have 2% charge. I wonder if your boss will understand?




    EXACTLY. There is no free lunch there.

    Great.. and if your are one the 50% who drive more than that, I guess

    Or you use a plug-in 240/220 charger after having an electrician install

    I understand the CEO of ford just tried taking one of their new EV

    Why lasers could help make the electric grid greener

    Sensors can help utilities get real-time data on their power lines,
    which can allow them to send more renewable electricity through the
    wires. This tech is part of a suite of innovations that could help the
    U.S. increase its grid capacity faster and cheaper than building new
    transmission lines.
    ...
    ...
    With this tech, called "dynamic line rating", utilities are able to
    increase the efficiency of their lines - sometimes as much as 40%,
    says Gentle.

    https://www.npr.org/2023/08/13/1187620367/power-grid-enhancing-technologies-climate-change

    Which does nothing to change the fact that the supply isn't there.

    Sure it is. There's plenty there. You just don't want to believe it because EVs cut down
    the value of your oil stock.

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and OCCUPIED home.

    I don't see why that's a problem. My dad installed an electric dryer and a drainage
    system for the washer separate from the septic for this house. He dug the drain field
    himself. Cut and sealed the hole for the drain pipe. Neighbor next door is an electrician and since the box was in the same room as the dryer, installing the 240 was a
    snap. he also ran a new circuit to the back porch which was subsequently enclosed to
    become a family and dining room.

    Up to 40A charging on just a 220/240V plug.


    Sure, stick your fingers in your DIY socket. Good luck.

    Who said anything about "DIY"?


    Costs of cherry-picked 'cheap' charger, plus local permits,
    plus licensed electrician for 240V sub-panel, conduit and
    termination panel, 240V home runs, plus local/UL/fire

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and OCCUPIED

    Different... ...not "far" different.

    The CATV in the house died and a new line had to be run around the house to a new wall.

    The ditch was about two inches wide and six deep for the conduit. Ran in a loop around
    the house, dodged the porch and went through the dining room wall where the wireless is.
    They didn't charge us. Cute guy. I might have offered to "pay" him but I had out of town

    Makes one wonder how the power grid will support the added demand of every home and office having EV chargers with the current infrastructure which
    can barely keep up right now. It’s not like more nuclear power stations are getting built. Is solar power going to provide all the extra power
    needed for charging private and commercial EVs? How expensive will electricity become when natural gas and oil become outlawed?

    The present infrastructure is not what will be in place once most of the country's vehicles are electric, or at least plug-in hybrid. We're
    talking at least twenty years before no more gasoline or diesel vehicles
    are available.

    Solar _will_ be a major contributor to EV charging, when combined with
    an ESS in the home. The recent changes to NEM now make an ESS in the
    home more financially attractive.

    I recently was in a meeting about a new condominium project that will
    soon be built in my city and they will have sufficient electric capacity
    to charge 100% of residents' vehicles, just not all at the same time.
    The system will automatically distribute power to the charging stations
    to sequence the charging overnight.

    The bigger issue is large apartment or condo complexes that lack
    off-street parking. California is moving backwards in this regard by
    allowing developers to not have to include sufficient parking.

    Great, I'm sure your wife will be just thrilled as you move those range out into the middle of the floor so you can unhook it to hook in the cable going
    to your charger and then run that cable through the house, and let's not
    forget you will be unable to close the door or window you're going to feed
    that cable through. Then in the morning, you get to get up early and put it
    all back, or it's going to be a cold breakfast because the range isn't
    hooked up.

    Any other stupidity you would like to display?

    Some people will believe anything. Keep drinking that swill.

    Hell even if the electricity and charging were free.. you still would not
    have recovered the extra cost over those 25K miles.

    Then there are high finance charges, insurance costs, You're already looking
    at your 2nd set of tires at 3 times the cost of standard.

    Which are done when the home is under construction..

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and OCCUPIED

    Different... ...not "far" different.

    Really? No carpet? No occupants? No need worry about dust, dirt or noise? No need to worry about getting the place dirty while doing the job? No issues
    with drywall, because there is none installed yet? How about repainting? And
    if the job takes an extra 3 days.. you don't have people screaming about how they can't stay at the hotel anymore because the rooms in the area are all booked for the big event this weekend and you will have no place to stay?

    Yea, none of those would EVER be a factor.. right?

    Nevermind shutting off the power for days on end.

    Great.. and if your are one the 50% who drive more than that, I guess
    you're just shit outta luck...

    Or you use a plug-in 240/220 charger after having an electrician install >>> one...

    Doesn't even have to go through your panel.  Have the electrician
    connect between your
    meter and the wall, run conduit to wherever (save time and money - pre
    dig the conduit
    ditch), install a home dryer/stove 220.  As long as it's protected

    Would that meet NEC requirements?

    To have the same plug you'd use for an electric stove installed?

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL



    Sure, install the terminal and interconnect and home run AFTER THE FACT
    and charge in your kitchen, right, MORON.

    You get that the same TYPE of outlet can be installed anywhere in a home, right?

    Sure, and all you need is deep enough pockets.

    Well Alan your 150Amp panel wont support this load given your current electrical system, so we're going to have to upgrade to a 200-225 Amp panel, then we have to update all the wiring to current code as required by the electrical code
    Next we will need to tear down parts of your walls to run the cable, and correct the wiring as necessary. and then install a subpanel and the
    associated wiring for the charger. We need zoning approval, the house can
    not be occupied between when the work starts as that would be illegal with
    no electrical power and then the government inspectors have to approve the
    work and the power company finally returns to restore power once they get
    all the necessary documents and certifications. So you will have to find somewhere else to stay for about 1-2 weeks, but it could be as much as 3
    weeks and initial estimate will be $12K-$20K for job. But we can't even
    touch the job until you get a permit and authorization to have this work performed, and perform a full electrical audit to determine the full scope
    of work to be performed which will cost $1,200. At last check the permit department has a 4-6 week back log... What? You already sold your old car,
    and you need the charger installed this weekend? Ever consider getting a bicycle?

    I love these people who think they can just slap in a high demand appliance
    and it will be quick, easy, and cheap to do.



    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?

    If you don't have an electric stove.. then you don't have the high capacity plug there to use.... even if you could.

    Go back to rec.sport.golf and put it in the rough, there.

    1. It's not very expensive to have a plain-old 240/220 volt outlet
    installed. Sorry, but it's basic electric work.

    2. Getting permission to do so isn't hard.


    That is even assuming you have a garage to install one in. Yea, I want
    to see how well that charger works when you install it for your
    on-street parking and someone starts using YOUR power to charge THEIR
    car, or simply blocks you from parking there.

    I never claimed it was an answer for everyone, but it's an answer for
    many people.

    And you want to pretend that because it won't work for everyone, it's

    Great, I'm sure your wife will be just thrilled as you move those range
    out into the middle of the floor so you can unhook it to hook in the
    cable going to your charger and then run that cable through the house,
    and let's not forget you will be unable to close the door or window
    you're going to feed that cable through. Then in the morning, you get to
    get up early and put it all back, or it's going to be a cold breakfast because the range isn't hooked up.

    Any other stupidity you would like to display?

    What makes you think that because it's the same TYPE of plug you'd use
    for a stove, that I'm suggesting you use the same physcal OUTLET for
    both purposes?

    Now that's stupidity.

    I'm pointing out that this is basic wiring that any competent
    electrician can complete. It doesn't require special skills or special
    permits.

    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range [or
    a Level 2 EV charger] is not really any harder than wiring a standard
    outlet, but it can cost more because the electrician may need to run
    conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel, or install a new circuit breaker. The electrician will price his work according to the
    length of cable that needs to be run and the amount of labor time he anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    <https://www.thespruce.com/electrical-project-costs-1152463>

    'The cost to run electricity to a shed, garage, or shop is $10 to $25
    per linear foot or $500 to $3,800 on average for 50 to 150 feet of
    underground line.'

    <https://homeguide.com/costs/cost-to-run-electric-to-garage-shed-or-shop>

    So your numbers are bullshit.

    No CAPEX, 125 tank fills, 50,000 driving miles, for the installation.

    Where you finding gasoline for sixty cents a gallon?

    Your charge kilowatts are 'free' or subsidized, right, sparky?

    Remarkable how EV 'economics' are cherry-picked.

    They make you feel good and 'green' though, don't they?

    A Rivian, including charger and electricity costs goes green after
    30k. With solar
    charging, at 25k.  <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr5x62MyAUg>

    Swill

    Some people will believe anything. Keep drinking that swill.

    Hell even if the electricity and charging were free.. you still would
    not have recovered the extra cost over those 25K miles.

    Then there are high finance charges, insurance costs, You're already
    looking at your 2nd set of tires at 3 times the cost of standard.

    Sure, sparky. Go for it.

    And if you need more:

    <https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/a39917614/best-home-ev-chargers-tested/>

    Level 2 chargers there from $400.

    <https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/collections/ev-chargers/products/smart-home-ev-charger-ul-listed>

    Up to 40A charging on just a 220/240V plug.

    Sure, $10,000 later we've got that installed.

    LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL!

    $10,000?

    To have the same plug you'd use for an electric stove installed?

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL



    Sure, install the terminal and interconnect and home run AFTER THE
    FACT and charge in your kitchen, right, MORON.

    You get that the same TYPE of outlet can be installed anywhere in a
    home, right?

    Sure, and all you need is deep enough pockets.

    Well Alan your 150Amp panel wont support this load given your current electrical system, so we're going to have to upgrade to a 200-225 Amp
    panel, then we have to update all the wiring to current code as required
    by the electrical code

    Cite, please!

    Next we will need to tear down parts of your walls to run the cable, and correct the wiring as necessary. and then install a subpanel and the associated wiring for the charger. We need zoning approval, the house
    can not be occupied between when the work starts as that would be
    illegal with no electrical power and then the government inspectors have
    to approve the work and the power company finally returns to restore
    power once they get all the necessary documents and certifications. So
    you will have to find somewhere else to stay for about 1-2 weeks, but it could be as much as 3 weeks and initial estimate will be $12K-$20K for
    job. But we can't even touch the job until you get a permit and
    authorization to have this work performed, and perform a full electrical audit to determine the full scope of work to be performed which will
    cost $1,200. At last check the permit department has a 4-6 week back
    log... What? You already sold your old car, and you need the charger installed this weekend? Ever consider getting a bicycle?

    I love these people who think they can just slap in a high demand
    appliance and it will be quick, easy, and cheap to do.

    I think that you have not a single actual fact to back up that pile of bullshit.




    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?

    If you don't have an electric stove.. then you don't have the high
    capacity plug there to use.... even if you could.

    How stupid are you to think I'm suggesting you would use THAT PARTICULAR
    PLUG?

    I'm suggesting that the 240/220V receptacle you need for a plug-in Level
    2 EV charger is completely standard electrical work...

    ...because it is.

    Great.. and if your are one the 50% who drive more than that, I guess

    Or you use a plug-in 240/220 charger after having an electrician install

    Doesn't even have to go through your panel. Have the electrician connect between your
    meter and the wall, run conduit to wherever (save time and money - pre dig the conduit
    ditch), install a home dryer/stove 220. As long as it's protected from rain, all is good.

    I think some of that would depend on local electrical codes, but perhaps.

    Go back to rec.sport.golf and put it in the rough, there.

    LOL


    Your hypotheticals, DULLARD.

    No. Simple facts.

    Running a 220/240 outlet is a simple electrical job.

    No, it's not, when you have a finished and occupied structure.

    Yes, it is.

    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range is
    not really any harder than wiring a standard outlet, but it can cost
    more because the electrician may need to run conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel, or install a new circuit breaker. The
    electrician will price his work according to the length of cable that
    needs to be run and the amount of labor time he anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    You answered with absolute certainty that it would not.

    You spouted of on NEC and when it was pointed out that you were

    The US and Canadian electrical codes a VERY similar.

    licensed electrician for 240V sub-panel, conduit and termination
    panel, 240V home runs, plus local/UL/fire inspections, plus fire

    I licensed electrician to install a standard 240/220 wall jack...

    ...just like they install for electric stoves and dryers.

    Which are done when the home is under construction..

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and
    OCCUPIED home.

    Different... ...not "far" different.

    Really? No carpet?

    No carpet on the ceiling of a basement...

    ...assuming that the basement even has a ceiling.

    No occupants? No need worry about dust, dirt or
    noise?

    For a day or two's work? Nope.

    No need to worry about getting the place dirty while doing the
    job?

    Hire professionals who clean up after themselves.

    No issues with drywall, because there is none installed yet? How
    about repainting? And if the job takes an extra 3 days.. you don't have
    people screaming about how they can't stay at the hotel anymore because
    the rooms in the area are all booked for the big event this weekend and
    you will have no place to stay?

    You are utterly full of shit.


    Yea, none of those would EVER be a factor.. right?

    Nevermind shutting off the power for days on end.

    "days on end".

    Half an hour. Tops.

    Do all the work back TO the panel...

    ...have everything done except the actual connection to the mains...

    ...then turn off the main breaker in the home for the actual hookup.

    It amazes me that he doesn't get that.

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and OCCUPIED home.

    I don't see why that's a problem. My dad installed an electric dryer and a drainage
    system for the washer separate from the septic for this house. He dug the drain field
    himself. Cut and sealed the hole for the drain pipe. Neighbor next door is an
    electrician and since the box was in the same room as the dryer, installing the 240 was a
    snap. he also ran a new circuit to the back porch which was subsequently enclosed to
    become a family and dining room.

    The AC in this house doesn't run through the service panel as it's not original. Instead,
    the condenser and air handler each have their own breaker box installed on the side of the
    house next to the power drop. They get their power from a tap between the meter and the
    wall.

    Scout's just worried about his oil stock, that's all.

    It doesn't have to go through the panel. It can be set up with it's own 'panel', so to
    speak. Our drop runs down to a junction box. It goes into the meter which is mounted on
    the front of the jbox. Inside the jbox a conduit starts out of the meter into a T. One
    goes through the wall to the service panel, the other two wires go into a pair of conduits
    in the bottom of the box. Each of those run about a foot either side of the box. On the
    right, it goes into a light switch size box about two inches deep. Open the door on the
    front and there's a breaker. A conduit comes out the bottom and disappears in the grass.
    It resurfaces farther along the wall and connects to the condenser.

    To the left of the jbox, is another similar small box with a breaker inside but this one
    goes through the wall. There's no inside conduit so I assume they fished it and ran the
    power along the ceiling across the utility room to the air handler.

    No service panel upgrade was needed to air condition this house.

    1. It's not very expensive to have a plain-old 240/220 volt outlet
    installed. Sorry, but it's basic electric work.

    2. Getting permission to do so isn't hard.


    That is even assuming you have a garage to install one in. Yea, I want to
    see how well that charger works when you install it for your on-street
    parking and someone starts using YOUR power to charge THEIR car, or
    simply blocks you from parking there.

    I never claimed it was an answer for everyone, but it's an answer for many people.

    It's not even an answer for many people. It's really only an answer for a
    very small minority of people.

    And you want to pretend that because it won't work for everyone, it's useless.

    No, I'm saying that for the overwhelming majority of people it wont serve
    their needs nearly as well as an ordinary ICE.

    Cost for one. I mean how many people can afford a brand new luxury priced
    car without wrecking their finances?

    I mean heck, they can't afford to pay student loans or rent.. but they can
    get a new luxury car?

    I think some of that would depend on local electrical codes, but
    perhaps.

    That's how our ac is wired.

    That may be... ...but lots of things get done that don't conform to

    Hmm. Great. And when you have a fault that burns down some of your house and the insurance won't cover it because it was caused by something you rigged up.....

    Then what?



    ...or that don't conform once the code has been amended.

    No, but it does have to conform to the code at the time it was installed.
    Which right now would probably be then NEC 2020-2023 depending on adoption dates by local agencies.

    Sure, sparky. Go for it.

    And if you need more:

    <https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/a39917614/best-home-ev-chargers-tested/>

    Level 2 chargers there from $400.

    <https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/collections/ev-chargers/products/smart-home-ev-charger-ul-listed>

    Up to 40A charging on just a 220/240V plug.

    Sure, $10,000 later we've got that installed.

    LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL!

    $10,000?

    To have the same plug you'd use for an electric stove installed?

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    Great, I'm sure your wife will be just thrilled as you move those range
    out into the middle of the floor so you can unhook it to hook in the
    cable going to your charger and then run that cable through the house,
    and let's not forget you will be unable to close the door or window
    you're going to feed that cable through. Then in the morning, you get to
    get up early and put it all back, or it's going to be a cold breakfast
    because the range isn't hooked up.

    Any other stupidity you would like to display?

    What makes you think that because it's the same TYPE of plug you'd use for
    a stove, that I'm suggesting you use the same physcal OUTLET for both purposes?

    To do otherwise would violate the NEC 210.23 the only exception would be to unplug one appliance to plug in another NEC 210.23C

    Now that's stupidity.

    That's code.



    I'm pointing out that this is basic wiring that any competent electrician
    can complete.

    If they were competent they would turn you down flat.

    It doesn't require special skills or special permits.

    No, just risking their license and a boat load of liability.


    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range [or a Level 2 EV charger] is not really any harder than wiring a standard
    outlet, but it can cost more because the electrician may need to run
    conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel, or install a new circuit breaker. The electrician will price his work according to the
    length of cable that needs to be run and the amount of labor time he anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    <https://www.thespruce.com/electrical-project-costs-1152463>

    A low power outlet or switch is a far different thing than a high powered
    load run to the other end of the house.

    See what you're talking about could be done simply by patching any to any accessible branch or lighting circuit in the area.

    What you want, however is going to require a run ALL THE WAY TO THE MAIN BREAKER BOX WITH A HEAVY GAUGE CABLE.

    Apples and Oranges.



    'The cost to run electricity to a shed, garage, or shop is $10 to $25 per linear foot or $500 to $3,800 on average for 50 to 150 feet of underground line.'

    <https://homeguide.com/costs/cost-to-run-electric-to-garage-shed-or-shop>

    Again.. a low power feeder hooked into an accessible 15-20a branch circuit.


    So your numbers are bullshit.

    No, my number are reality. Now if you want to install a 120V 5amp charger.. that could be done for the prices you're talking about. Anything more than that.. and your price is going to go up.. a lot.

    No. Simple facts.

    No, it's not, when you have a finished and occupied structure.

    Yes, it is.

    You get that the same TYPE of outlet can be installed anywhere in a
    home, right?

    Sure, and all you need is deep enough pockets.

    Well Alan your 150Amp panel wont support this load given your current
    electrical system, so we're going to have to upgrade to a 200-225 Amp
    panel, then we have to update all the wiring to current code as required
    by the electrical code

    Cite, please!

    Load calculations. Builders don't install bigger more expensive power panels unless they have to.. and it's going to be a cost extra. Which means you probably aren't going to have enough extra to add a 240V 50A long term draw
    to most existing breaker panels. At least not without risking a lot of
    nuance trips of the main breaker.. which have a pretty short trip life and replacements are expensive.



    Next we will need to tear down parts of your walls to run the cable, and
    correct the wiring as necessary. and then install a subpanel and the
    associated wiring for the charger. We need zoning approval, the house can
    not be occupied between when the work starts as that would be illegal
    with no electrical power and then the government inspectors have to
    approve the work and the power company finally returns to restore power
    once they get all the necessary documents and certifications. So you will
    have to find somewhere else to stay for about 1-2 weeks, but it could be
    as much as 3 weeks and initial estimate will be $12K-$20K for job. But we
    can't even touch the job until you get a permit and authorization to have
    this work performed, and perform a full electrical audit to determine the
    full scope of work to be performed which will cost $1,200. At last check
    the permit department has a 4-6 week back log... What? You already sold
    your old car, and you need the charger installed this weekend? Ever
    consider getting a bicycle?

    I love these people who think they can just slap in a high demand
    appliance and it will be quick, easy, and cheap to do.

    I think that you have not a single actual fact to back up that pile of bullshit.

    Other than having done it.

    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?

    If you don't have an electric stove.. then you don't have the high
    capacity plug there to use.... even if you could.

    How stupid are you to think I'm suggesting you would use THAT PARTICULAR PLUG?

    because otherwise you would be in violation of the NEC.

    I mean you did claim to be a competent electrician right?


    I'm suggesting that the 240/220V receptacle you need for a plug-in Level 2
    EV charger is completely standard electrical work...

    ...because it is.

    Sure, it is completely normal.. requiring a dedicated home run to the
    breaker panel, and a possible main service panel upgrade which would then require an upgrade of all existing wiring to current code requirements.
    That's just one of those things that happens when you change out the main breaker panel.

    Why do you think so many shitty and even dangerous breaker panels are still
    in service.. because people can't afford the cost of all the additional work that might be necessary to replace it.

    But feel free to do it yourself, and if you have a fire that could in any
    way be blamed on an illegal electrical change.. you can be sure the
    insurance company will use that to deny you any benefits.

    Now if you were talking running a 15/20 amp 120v line for a lvl 1 charger
    you could probably do that cheaper though you would still require a home run and space for a dedicated breaker.

    licensed electrician for 240V sub-panel, conduit and termination
    panel, 240V home runs, plus local/UL/fire inspections, plus fire
    insurance, over a period of months.

    I licensed electrician to install a standard 240/220 wall jack...

    ...just like they install for electric stoves and dryers.

    Which are done when the home is under construction..

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and OCCUPIED >>>> home.

    Different... ...not "far" different.

    Really? No carpet?

    No carpet on the ceiling of a basement...

    If you have a basement that would make it much easier. However, most homes don't have an unfinished basement anymore.



    ...assuming that the basement even has a ceiling.

    No occupants? No need worry about dust, dirt or noise?

    For a day or two's work? Nope.

    Assuming you don't need a panel upgrade.

    No need to worry about getting the place dirty while doing the job?

    Hire professionals who clean up after themselves.

    And professionals are going to charge you for that. and the more they have
    to clean up, and the harder it is to do so, and the risk of making something dirty which can't be cleaned up.. increases the price.

    TINSTAAFL.


    No issues with drywall, because there is none installed yet? How about
    repainting? And if the job takes an extra 3 days.. you don't have people
    screaming about how they can't stay at the hotel anymore because the
    rooms in the area are all booked for the big event this weekend and you
    will have no place to stay?

    You are utterly full of shit.

    Whatever you say cupcake. Because if you're going to remain in the house..
    the price will be even higher.


    Yea, none of those would EVER be a factor.. right?

    Nevermind shutting off the power for days on end.

    "days on end".

    Half an hour. Tops.

    Then you should get out there and become a licensed electrician and show
    them how it's done.

    The only way you could do it in 30 minutes would be if it were new construction.

    Great.. and if your are one the 50% who drive more than that, I

    Great.. and if you don't don't have the money or the permission to do
    so.. I guess you're just SOL.

    1. It's not very expensive to have a plain-old 240/220 volt outlet
    installed. Sorry, but it's basic electric work.

    2. Getting permission to do so isn't hard.


    That is even assuming you have a garage to install one in. Yea, I
    want to see how well that charger works when you install it for your
    on-street parking and someone starts using YOUR power to charge THEIR
    car, or simply blocks you from parking there.

    I never claimed it was an answer for everyone, but it's an answer for
    many people.

    It's not even an answer for many people. It's really only an answer for
    a very small minority of people.

    How do you make that calculation?

    What percentage of the US lives in single family homes?


    And you want to pretend that because it won't work for everyone, it's
    useless.

    No, I'm saying that for the overwhelming majority of people it wont
    serve their needs nearly as well as an ordinary ICE.

    LOL!

    Now it's a "overwhelming majority"!



    Cost for one. I mean how many people can afford a brand new luxury
    priced car without wrecking their finances?

    I mean heck, they can't afford to pay student loans or rent.. but they
    can get a new luxury car?

    By what I see on the streets each day, LOTS of people can afford to buy
    what you term a "luxury" car.

    I think some of that would depend on local electrical codes, but perhaps.

    While local electrical codes may offer some slight variances..
    overwhelmingly they are solidly based on the NEC and is generally the
    basis of any discussion of electrical installation and general cost
    estimates where the specific particulars are unknown.. such as a
    conversation in usenet about installing a high draw EV charger.

    Post this again when you sober up.

    The simple fact is that there are high draw EV chargers that can be
    plugged in to the same KIND of receptacle as an electric stove or
    electric clothes dryer.

    The costs to install such a receptacle are readily available and I'm
    sorry, but it is NOT NEAR the numbers you've been bullshitting.

    and the insurance won't cover it because it was caused by something you rigged up.....

    Then what?

    You really shouldn't post when you've been drinking.

    I wasn't suggesting that anyone should install anything against code.

    I was pointing out that an existing installation is not necessarily an
    exemplar of what is legal TODAY.




    ...or that don't conform once the code has been amended.

    No, but it does have to conform to the code at the time it was
    installed. Which right now would probably be then NEC 2020-2023
    depending on adoption dates by local agencies.

    Quit day drinking.

    LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL!

    To have the same plug you'd use for an electric stove installed?

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    Great, I'm sure your wife will be just thrilled as you move those
    range out into the middle of the floor so you can unhook it to hook
    in the cable going to your charger and then run that cable through
    the house, and let's not forget you will be unable to close the door
    or window you're going to feed that cable through. Then in the
    morning, you get to get up early and put it all back, or it's going
    to be a cold breakfast because the range isn't hooked up.

    Any other stupidity you would like to display?

    What makes you think that because it's the same TYPE of plug you'd use
    for a stove, that I'm suggesting you use the same physcal OUTLET for
    both purposes?

    To do otherwise would violate the NEC 210.23 the only exception would be
    to unplug one appliance to plug in another NEC 210.23C

    Are you suggesting a house can't have more than one outlet of the type necessary to plug in an electric stove?


    I'm pointing out that this is basic wiring that any competent
    electrician can complete.

    If they were competent they would turn you down flat.

    Why?


    It doesn't require special skills or special permits.

    No, just risking their license and a boat load of liability.


    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range
    [or a Level 2 EV charger] is not really any harder than wiring a
    standard outlet, but it can cost more because the electrician may need
    to run conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel, or
    install a new circuit breaker. The electrician will price his work
    according to the length of cable that needs to be run and the amount
    of labor time he anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    <https://www.thespruce.com/electrical-project-costs-1152463>

    A low power outlet or switch is a far different thing than a high
    powered load run to the other end of the house.

    That is specifically talking about a high-powered load run.

    Sober up.


    See what you're talking about could be done simply by patching any to
    any accessible branch or lighting circuit in the area.

    I'm not talking about patching into an accessible branch or lighting circuit


    What you want, however is going to require a run ALL THE WAY TO THE MAIN BREAKER BOX WITH A HEAVY GAUGE CABLE.

    Which is precisely what was being discussed in my quote.


    Apples and Oranges.

    Sober up.




    'The cost to run electricity to a shed, garage, or shop is $10 to $25
    per linear foot or $500 to $3,800 on average for 50 to 150 feet of
    underground line.'

    <https://homeguide.com/costs/cost-to-run-electric-to-garage-shed-or-shop>

    Again.. a low power feeder hooked into an accessible 15-20a branch circuit.

    Nope. Were do you get this straw man from?



    So your numbers are bullshit.

    No, my number are reality. Now if you want to install a 120V 5amp
    charger.. that could be done for the prices you're talking about.
    Anything more than that.. and your price is going to go up.. a lot.

    Why?

    My examples specifically talk about installing a circuit and receptacle
    of the kind necessary to carry the loads under discussion.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL



    Sure, install the terminal and interconnect and home run AFTER THE
    FACT and charge in your kitchen, right, MORON.

    You get that the same TYPE of outlet can be installed anywhere in a
    home, right?

    Sure, and all you need is deep enough pockets.

    Well Alan your 150Amp panel wont support this load given your current
    electrical system, so we're going to have to upgrade to a 200-225 Amp
    panel, then we have to update all the wiring to current code as
    required by the electrical code

    Cite, please!

    Load calculations.

    That's not a cite.

    Builders don't install bigger more expensive power
    panels unless they have to.. and it's going to be a cost extra. Which
    means you probably aren't going to have enough extra to add a 240V 50A
    long term draw to most existing breaker panels. At least not without
    risking a lot of nuance trips of the main breaker.. which have a pretty
    short trip life and replacements are expensive.

    So you install a second panel just for the new circuit.

    Straw man.




    Next we will need to tear down parts of your walls to run the cable,
    and correct the wiring as necessary. and then install a subpanel and
    the associated wiring for the charger. We need zoning approval, the
    house can not be occupied between when the work starts as that would
    be illegal with no electrical power and then the government
    inspectors have to approve the work and the power company finally
    returns to restore power once they get all the necessary documents
    and certifications. So you will have to find somewhere else to stay
    for about 1-2 weeks, but it could be as much as 3 weeks and initial
    estimate will be $12K-$20K for job. But we can't even touch the job
    until you get a permit and authorization to have this work performed,
    and perform a full electrical audit to determine the full scope of
    work to be performed which will cost $1,200. At last check the permit
    department has a 4-6 week back log... What? You already sold your old
    car, and you need the charger installed this weekend? Ever consider
    getting a bicycle?

    I love these people who think they can just slap in a high demand
    appliance and it will be quick, easy, and cheap to do.

    I think that you have not a single actual fact to back up that pile of
    bullshit.

    Other than having done it.

    Prove it.


    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?

    If you don't have an electric stove.. then you don't have the high
    capacity plug there to use.... even if you could.

    How stupid are you to think I'm suggesting you would use THAT
    PARTICULAR PLUG?

    because otherwise you would be in violation of the NEC.

    I mean you did claim to be a competent electrician right?

    Nope.

    How would having a second receptacle of the TYPE used for a stove or
    dryer violate the NEC?



    I'm suggesting that the 240/220V receptacle you need for a plug-in
    Level 2 EV charger is completely standard electrical work...

    ...because it is.

    Sure, it is completely normal.. requiring a dedicated home run to the
    breaker panel, and a possible main service panel upgrade which would
    then require an upgrade of all existing wiring to current code
    requirements. That's just one of those things that happens when you
    change out the main breaker panel.

    And out come the hypotheticals!


    Why do you think so many shitty and even dangerous breaker panels are
    still in service.. because people can't afford the cost of all the
    additional work that might be necessary to replace it.

    But feel free to do it yourself, and if you have a fire that could in
    any way be blamed on an illegal electrical change.. you can be sure the insurance company will use that to deny you any benefits.

    Now if you were talking running a 15/20 amp 120v line for a lvl 1
    charger you could probably do that cheaper though you would still
    require a home run and space for a dedicated breaker.

    Quit your day drinking.

    Up to 40A charging on just a 220/240V plug.

    Sure, $10,000 later we've got that installed.

    LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL!

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL



    Sure, install the terminal and interconnect and home run AFTER

    You get that the same TYPE of outlet can be installed anywhere in
    a home, right?


    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?


    Go back to rec.sport.golf and put it in the rough, there.

    LOL


    Your hypotheticals, DULLARD.

    No. Simple facts.

    Running a 220/240 outlet is a simple electrical job.

    No, it's not, when you have a finished and occupied structure.

    Yes, it is.

    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range
    is not really any harder than wiring a standard outlet, but it can
    cost more because the electrician may need to run conduit, reorganize
    circuit breakers in the main panel, or install a new circuit breaker.
    The electrician will price his work according to the length of cable
    that needs to be run and the amount of labor time he anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    <https://www.thespruce.com/electrical-project-costs-115246>

    During construction, sure.

    Afterwards in an occupied home.. add a zero to the end at minimum

    Sorry, but that website is talking about the cost of it as an UPGRADE TO
    AN EXISTING HOME.

    'but it can cost more because the electrician may need to run conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel, or install a new circuit breaker.'

    How can that part of the sentence have any meaning in a new construction situation?

    The article is called "Common Electrical Projects and How Much They
    Cost" and goes on to discuss things that "homeowners" might want to have
    done.

    I licensed electrician to install a standard 240/220 wall jack...

    ...just like they install for electric stoves and dryers.

    Which are done when the home is under construction..

    Far different issue when you're starting with a completed and
    OCCUPIED home.

    Different... ...not "far" different.

    Really? No carpet?

    No carpet on the ceiling of a basement...

    If you have a basement that would make it much easier. However, most
    homes don't have an unfinished basement anymore.

    You seem to be an expert on everything...

    ...but that's a common failing when people are drunk.




    ...assuming that the basement even has a ceiling.

    No occupants? No need worry about dust, dirt or noise?

    For a day or two's work? Nope.

    Assuming you don't need a panel upgrade.

    You think adding a pony panel is going to create a lot of "dust, dirt or noise"?

    LOL!


    No need to worry about getting the place dirty while doing the job?

    Hire professionals who clean up after themselves.

    And professionals are going to charge you for that. and the more they
    have to clean up, and the harder it is to do so, and the risk of making something dirty which can't be cleaned up.. increases the price.

    TINSTAAFL.

    Professionals quote the job INCLUDING the cleanup.



    No issues with drywall, because there is none installed yet? How
    about repainting? And if the job takes an extra 3 days.. you don't
    have people screaming about how they can't stay at the hotel anymore
    because the rooms in the area are all booked for the big event this
    weekend and you will have no place to stay?

    You are utterly full of shit.

    Whatever you say cupcake. Because if you're going to remain in the
    house.. the price will be even higher.

    To run an electrical circuit???

    LOL!



    Yea, none of those would EVER be a factor.. right?

    Nevermind shutting off the power for days on end.

    "days on end".

    Half an hour. Tops.

    Then you should get out there and become a licensed electrician and show
    them how it's done.

    The only way you could do it in 30 minutes would be if it were new construction.

    Install from the receptacle backward.

    Have everything installed and THEN turn off the power long enough to
    make the connections to the mains.

    How long do you think it takes to make 4 connections?

    Swill

    Some people will believe anything. Keep drinking that swill.

    Hell even if the electricity and charging were free.. you still would
    not have recovered the extra cost over those 25K miles.

    Then there are high finance charges, insurance costs, You're already
    looking at your 2nd set of tires at 3 times the cost of standard.

    Cite, please!

    https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-unexpected-problem-with-evs-they-tire-quickly

    You know, you should really consider finding out this shit for yourself before promoting the latest geewhiz tech

    Princess, I've been following cars for just about forever.

    "EVs burn through tires 30% faster than combustible engine cars"

    A typical car has a tire life of at LEAST 60,000 miles, so "30% faster"
    (your source, snowflake) would be a life of 42,000 miles.

    So at 25K you are nowhere NEAR your second set.

    Next:

    "Dubbed the Turanza EV, it starts at $289"

    So a third of that would be about $96.

    "It's now available at Bridgestone retailers in the US and Canada and at
    sites like TireRack.com."

    So let's look! Apples to apples, right?

    The lowest price tires for a Tesla Model 3 in the factory size of
    235/40ZR19 are $153 (Laufen S FIT AS)

    The Bridgestone Turanza EV in that size are $285.

    <https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?tireIndex=0&autoMake=Tesla&autoYear=2023&autoModel=Model+3+RWD&autoModClar=235/40-19&width=235/&ratio=40&diameter=19&sortCode=57261&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=V&minLoadRating=XL&performance=ALL>

    Now maybe when you're trunk 285/153 equals "3 times the cost"...

    ...but in the sober world that would be "less than 2 times the cost"

    So cost per 12,000 miles (oft cited as average usage a year) looks
    something like:

    Laufen S FIT AS: 4 * $153/60 * 12 = $122 per 12K

    Turanza EV: 4*285/42 * 12 = $326 per 12K

    So that works out to a little less than an extra $4 per week.

    And that's only if you compare it to the cheapest pieces of shite
    TireRack sells.



    Further requests will be ignored.

    Run away, little man!

    And where are your bullshit cites for insurance and finance charges?

    BWAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    The reason they go through tires faster is that owners are so taken with the stunning
    acceleration of even cheap BEVs that they're constantly doing jack rabbit starts and
    slamming on the brakes. This has been recognized as an issue with first time EV owners.
    Early Tesla users broke transmissions regularly because of this.

    Why would you need a panel upgrade unless you're living in a house fifty or more years old
    that has never been brought up to code? If you're living in such a tired, old house, odds
    are you can't afford a new car anyway, much less a state of the art luxury BEV.

    And even then, all you need is a panel with two breakers, one to feed the old panel and a
    second one to feed the charger.

    You really are a stupid git, Scout. You haven't managed to score a single point in this
    whole debate. Over and over you've been WRONG.

    Some people will believe anything. Keep drinking that swill.

    Hell even if the electricity and charging were free.. you still would
    not have recovered the extra cost over those 25K miles.

    Then there are high finance charges, insurance costs, You're already
    looking at your 2nd set of tires at 3 times the cost of standard.

    Cite, please!

    https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-unexpected-problem-with-evs-they-tire-quickly >>
    You know, you should really consider finding out this shit for yourself
    before promoting the latest geewhiz tech

    Princess, I've been following cars for just about forever.

    "EVs burn through tires 30% faster than combustible engine cars"

    A typical car has a tire life of at LEAST 60,000 miles, so "30% faster"
    (your source, snowflake) would be a life of 42,000 miles.

    So at 25K you are nowhere NEAR your second set.

    Next:

    "Dubbed the Turanza EV, it starts at $289"

    So a third of that would be about $96.

    "It's now available at Bridgestone retailers in the US and Canada and at >sites like TireRack.com."

    So let's look! Apples to apples, right?

    The lowest price tires for a Tesla Model 3 in the factory size of
    235/40ZR19 are $153 (Laufen S FIT AS)

    The Bridgestone Turanza EV in that size are $285.

    <https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?tireIndex=0&autoMake=Tesla&autoYear=2023&autoModel=Model+3+RWD&autoModClar=235/40-19&width=235/&ratio=40&diameter=19&sortCode=57261&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=V&minLoadRating=XL&performance=ALL>

    Now maybe when you're trunk 285/153 equals "3 times the cost"...

    ...but in the sober world that would be "less than 2 times the cost"

    So cost per 12,000 miles (oft cited as average usage a year) looks
    something like:

    Laufen S FIT AS: 4 * $153/60 * 12 = $122 per 12K

    Turanza EV: 4*285/42 * 12 = $326 per 12K

    So that works out to a little less than an extra $4 per week.

    Which is about twice what you'd spend on gasoline *every fucking day*

    Once again, Scout proves not only his ignorance but his stupidity at being unable to do
    math.

    And that's only if you compare it to the cheapest pieces of shite
    TireRack sells.

    Further requests will be ignored.

    Run away, little man!

    As he usually does.

    And where are your bullshit cites for insurance and finance charges?

    BWAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    The reason they go through tires faster is that owners are so taken with the stunning
    acceleration of even cheap BEVs that they're constantly doing jack rabbit starts and
    slamming on the brakes. This has been recognized as an issue with first time EV owners.
    Early Tesla users broke transmissions regularly because of this.

    You're still on track to be the most ignorant poster on Usenet!

    Swill

    Insurance companies regularly total EV cars, Tesla in particular, because even in a minor accident
    that would be repairable with an ICE car, the cost is prohibitive with an EV. <https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/scratched-ev-battery-your-insurer-may-have-

    ...assuming that the basement even has a ceiling.

    No occupants? No need worry about dust, dirt or noise?

    For a day or two's work? Nope.

    Assuming you don't need a panel upgrade.

    You think adding a pony panel is going to create a lot of "dust, dirt or >noise"?

    LOL!

    The really funny bit is the fool thinks replacing a service panel is a two day job.
    ROTFLMAO!

    No need to worry about getting the place dirty while doing the job?

    Hire professionals who clean up after themselves.

    And professionals are going to charge you for that. and the more they
    have to clean up, and the harder it is to do so, and the risk of making
    something dirty which can't be cleaned up.. increases the price.

    TINSTAAFL.

    Professionals quote the job INCLUDING the cleanup.



    No issues with drywall, because there is none installed yet? How
    about repainting? And if the job takes an extra 3 days.. you don't
    have people screaming about how they can't stay at the hotel anymore
    because the rooms in the area are all booked for the big event this
    weekend and you will have no place to stay?

    You are utterly full of shit.

    Whatever you say cupcake. Because if you're going to remain in the
    house.. the price will be even higher.

    To run an electrical circuit???

    LOL!



    Yea, none of those would EVER be a factor.. right?

    Nevermind shutting off the power for days on end.

    "days on end".

    Half an hour. Tops.

    Then you should get out there and become a licensed electrician and show
    them how it's done.

    The only way you could do it in 30 minutes would be if it were new
    construction.

    Liar.

    Install from the receptacle backward.

    See?

    Have everything installed and THEN turn off the power long enough to
    make the connections to the mains.

    Proved it.

    How long do you think it takes to make 4 connections?

    He installs a new panel with two breakers. One rated at enough power to supply the old

    Just because some sucker who voted for Trump paid $10,000 for two charger connectors

    Exactly right. That's the only reason to buy one. I drove one for

    As the owner of a car I do love, but which is thirsty (turbocharged I-6

    I'm taking kinetic energy paid for in gasoline and converting it into

    The reason they go through tires faster is that owners are so taken with the stunning
    acceleration of even cheap BEVs that they're constantly doing jack rabbit starts and
    slamming on the brakes. This has been recognized as an issue with first time EV owners.
    Early Tesla users broke transmissions regularly because of this.

    Be fair:

    EVs do tend to be heavier than IC cars of the same size.

    The difference may not be as large as some of our trolls would insist...

    ...but taking out the IC drivetrain and putting in one of electric
    motors and a large battery pack does add weight.

    I'll say it again:

    Touchscreens in cars are a TERRIBLE idea.

    Using a touchscreen means that any control you want to change requires
    you to take your eyes from the road.

    In my car, without ever taking my eyes from the road I can:

    Change the HVAC settings (warmer, cooler, fan speed, defrost, etc.)

    Change the radio stations and control the volume.

    And on and on.

    My car has physical buttons and knobs which vary sufficiently in
    position, size and other details that I can operate them by feel.

    A screen to provide information such as for navigation? Acceptable.
    Glancing briefly to see what and when your next turn is isn't a problem.

    But touchscreens by their very nature require far LONGER attention to
    correctly operate a control on them.

    I will never go back to petrol.  Ever.

    For the foreseeable future, electric cars just transfer the CO2 etc. elsewhere.  Fine with me, there's no way we can cut enough to make up
    for the rest of the world even if man-made CO2 IS the problem.

    The regenerative braking has encouraged me to become a slightly gentler

    I take my foot off the gas a considerable distance before the stop sign;
     I know people who have only two modes, though -- gas and brake.  And
    they know better :-(

    Taking your foot off the gas does save fuel over maintaining your speed
    up until the point where you have to brake...

    ...but you still convert kinetic energy into waste. The fact that the
    engine is doing the braking doesn't change that.

    There's a distinct possibility that the temperature rises BEFORE the CO2

    I'm certainly glad to be rid of the smog that we had 50 years ago, no
    question about it, but making ourselves miserable for no good purpose (enrichment of Al Gore is NOT a good purpose) seems counterproductive.

    This has become a matter of near-religious belief for those who can't
    run the numbers themselves. I know people who can and I believe them --
    they have no axe to grind.

    Carry on.

    How about having to convert our economical gas-fired homes to

    don't do a lot of cooking. We shower at the gym. But we are really
    pissed that we just bought a $1K gas stove which we expected to be
    buried in.

    How about having to get rid of the first NICE car we have ever had? How
    about all the other bullshit that supposedly greenifies our world? Some cities, for instance, want our compostable scraps to be put in little
    bags and placed in the top of our yard waste containers. Other cities
    want it put in loose. Others just put all the trash in one big bin and
    let people (presumably otherwise unemployable) sort it out at the plant.
    They can't even agree on how to properly deal with table scraps.

    How about increasing the density of our suburbs so that people won't
    have to drive so far to go to work?

    How about every goddam thing that Newsom things is a wonderful idea to
    save the planet and send him to DC?

    ...and there may come a day when ICE cars are no longer legal.

    Except in Kalifornia. Apparently it can be accomplished by The
    Regulators. Some cities have outlawed running gas lines to new
    contruction. Not certain of the date, but new ICE cars will no longer
    be allowed here (old ones can continue to be sold/traded, presumably),
    At some point there will no longer be enough gas stations and gas will
    be REALLY expensive. The requirement to convert from natural gas to electric also has a date. I suppose there's hope that this shit can be overturned, but I wouldn't bet on it. Too many people making too much
    profit.

    The crowding is NOW. Single-family zoning has just been invalidated
    within 1/2 mile of a bus stop or train station. New apartment
    houses/condos are LIMITED in the number of parking places they can include.

    We and our parents built a first world and it's being turned into the
    third world.

    Be fair:

    EVs do tend to be heavier than IC cars of the same size.

    The difference may not be as large as some of our trolls would insist...

    ...but taking out the IC drivetrain and putting in one of electric
    motors and a large battery pack does add weight.

    But they are stunningly quicker. 0-60 in under 4 seconds is not rare.

    I bought an EV in April.  It's fabulous, including the touch screen.

    Residual uncorrectable asitigmatism means nothing is EVER sharp and
    screens require too much eye-time away from the road.  Not to mention
    making sure I tap the right thing.  I can't imagine anyone using a menu
    system to drive a car even with hawk-like vision.


    I'll say it again:

    Touchscreens in cars are a TERRIBLE idea.

    I agree.


    Using a touchscreen means that any control you want to change requires
    you to take your eyes from the road.

    Yes.


    In my car, without ever taking my eyes from the road I can:

    Change the HVAC settings (warmer, cooler, fan speed, defrost, etc.)


    Me too.

    Change the radio stations and control the volume.


    Volume, yes. Stations, no, not for me. But it doesn't matter. I only
    listen to one station.

    And on and on.

    My car has physical buttons and knobs which vary sufficiently in
    position, size and other details that I can operate them by feel.


    Mine too, but only for some controls, not all.

    But this has little to do with electric cars vs. gas cars. Most gas
    cars these days also have touch screens.
    .
    A screen to provide information such as for navigation? Acceptable.
    Glancing briefly to see what and when your next turn is isn't a problem.

    Yes, especially when they talk to you, as mine does.

    But touchscreens by their very nature require far LONGER attention to >correctly operate a control on them.

    I will never go back to petrol.  Ever.

    For the foreseeable future, electric cars just transfer the CO2 etc.
    elsewhere.  Fine with me, there's no way we can cut enough to make up
    for the rest of the world even if man-made CO2 IS the problem.

    I'm not convinced that electric cars save CO2. Yes, the car doesn't
    generate CO2, but the plant that generates the electricity for the car
    does. Is there a CO2 savings? Perhaps, but I've never seen a real
    comparison that I trusted to be correct.

    The regenerative braking has encouraged me to become a slightly gentler
    driver.  I still love the acceleration, but I decelerate more gently.

    I take my foot off the gas a considerable distance before the stop sign;
     I know people who have only two modes, though -- gas and brake.  And
    they know better :-(

    Taking your foot off the gas does save fuel over maintaining your speed
    up until the point where you have to brake...

    ...but you still convert kinetic energy into waste. The fact that the
    engine is doing the braking doesn't change that.

    Sort it out? Maybe, but I'm very skeptical.

    So am I. Apparently lots of the recyclable stuff ends up in the
    landfill anyway. Kalifornia has had container deposits on soda cans and plastic bottles for a long time (I once took back $130 worth of soda
    cans!), but a couple of years ago the company that ran most of the
    return facilities shut down. Only a few places left, so most people
    just toss their cans and bottles in the recycle bin, which is a nice
    windfall for the trash-recycling companies. If I were a cynical person
    I'd suspect payoffs from the Recyclers Institute or whatever.

    The City is really ambiguous about food in cans and bottles. They first
    told us that even the slightest smidgen of organic matter might
    contaminate the entire truckload. Now they say we don't have to waste
    water washing out cans and jars, they should just be empty. How 'empty'
    is a jam jar? Originally slick paper was unrecyclable. Now it's OK.

    They can't even agree on how to properly deal with table scraps.

    Garbage and recyclables are collected separately by two trucks here.
    But no information is provided on how much extra gas is used by using
    two trucks instead of one

    We have a third one for yard waste -- and now compostables. Then there
    is discussion about what kind of plastic bags we need to use. BUY
    compostable plastic bags to use to throw away our garbage? No, I don't
    think so.

    Theory has it that the little bags get removed before the yard waste is processed. Not clear whether a person or a machine does that. No
    mention of bag closure. What if it's too short to tie a knot? Is the
    little wire tie compostable? What about those plastic things on bread
    bags? Will they hold up in the rough and tumble of the dump truck?
    What happens if the dog shit spills out over the shrub trimmings?

    Why don't they tell us these things?

    Also no information is provided on how much energy is used by
    recycling. Is there still a savings? Perhaps, but my guess is that
    it's much lower than we are led to believe.

    My personal feeling is that it's a feel-good thing that once established
    would be humiliating to cancel. Governments really don't like admitting errors.

    How about increasing the density of our suburbs so that people won't
    have to drive so far to go to work?

    Many of us paid extra so we don't have to live cheek-to-jowel with our
    fellow persons.

    One good thing that mostly resulted from COVID is that many people now
    work from home.

    I think this is actually not a good thing. We have all gotten used to isolation. We don't see or even talk to our friends as much any more.
    The social part of work was important. Same with school. We've lost
    something that I don't think we'll get back for decades, if at all.

    How about every goddam thing that Newsom things is a wonderful idea to
    save the planet and send him to DC?

    Two minds -- is inflicting him on the country a fair price for getting
    him out of California?

    The reason they go through tires faster is that owners are so taken with the stunning
    acceleration of even cheap BEVs that they're constantly doing jack rabbit starts and
    slamming on the brakes. This has been recognized as an issue with first time EV owners.
    Early Tesla users broke transmissions regularly because of this.

    Be fair:

    EVs do tend to be heavier than IC cars of the same size.

    The difference may not be as large as some of our trolls would insist... >>>>
    ...but taking out the IC drivetrain and putting in one of electric
    motors and a large battery pack does add weight.

    But they are stunningly quicker. 0-60 in under 4 seconds is not rare.

    I like the Rivian architecture. Each wheel has it's own motor. The ultimate 4 wheel
    drive!

    None of that has anything to refute that heavier vehicles use up tires
    more quickly.

    Seriously: don't argue against things that are obviously true.

    Wtf is your damage today, Alan? I'm not arguing for or against anything. I'm noting
    that I like Rivian's architecture.

    You deflected away from the simple fact that one of the reasons EVs wear
    tires more quickly is that--everything else being equal--they weigh MORE.

    No. I live in a cheap suburb with 50x150 lots and 1KSF houses. It's
    now legal to put 4-unit apartment houses in my single-family
    neighborhood as well as "accessory dwelling units? (granny flats),
    thereby increasing the density here as well as in the center of the city
    where bigger and bigger multi-unit buildings are going up. "Increasing
    the density" is a negative; I would have thought that was understood.

    The State has ordered thus. Apparently the State can withhold some of
    the sales tax money if the City tells the State to fuck off. My
    feeling: we were here first. Tough luck if you want to live here --
    get in line or move further out and build your own damn city.

    Cite, please.


    I love steam trains, but I wouldn't dream of trying to run a modern
    railway with them.

    How  about all the other bullshit that supposedly greenifies our
    world? Some  cities, for instance, want our compostable scraps to be
    put in
    little  bags and placed in the top of our yard waste containers.  Other >>> cities  want it put in loose.  Others just put all the trash in one
    big bin
    and  let people (presumably otherwise unemployable) sort it out at the
    plant.  They can't even agree on how to properly deal with table scraps. >>
    We have to separate out some of our waste.  It's no big deal.  I wish
    there were some more categories.

    It's no problem at all, but what gripes me is that the assholes make
    rules without actually thinking about their implementation or effects.

    How about increasing the density of our suburbs so that people won't
    have
    to drive so far to go to work?

    Really?  You want to live more crowded?

    No.  I live in a cheap suburb with 50x150 lots and 1KSF houses.  It's
    now legal to put  4-unit apartment houses in my single-family
    neighborhood as well as "accessory dwelling units? (granny flats),
    thereby increasing the density here as well as in the center of the city where bigger and bigger multi-unit buildings are going up.  "Increasing
    the density" is a negative;  I would have thought that was understood.

    The State has ordered thus.  Apparently the State can withhold some of
    the sales tax money if the City tells the State to fuck off.  My
    feeling:  we were here first.  Tough luck if you want to live here --
    get in line or move further out and build your own damn city.

    But we digress...


    And you won't even examine the fact that billionaires have been gaming
    the system...

    How about having to convert our economical gas-fired homes to

    pissed that we just bought a $1K gas stove which we expected to be buried in.

    You won't be forced to convert to all-electric before you're ready to
    do so. Legislation is not retroactive. New builds will have to be all-electric, yes, but that doesn't affect you.

    FYI, 'here' (The Netherlands) we *will* be forced, not (yet) to
    all-electric, but to mostly-electric, especially for heating. Many
    (most?) people can't buy a new gas-heater (for the central heating
    system) from 2030. Luckily we still can, because we live in an
    appartment building and there's just no room for electric heat pumps.

    And there's talk about shutting off gas completely in lots of places,
    so for those folks, it *is* all-electric, never mind the consequences/
    cost.

    [...]

    Again, you won't have to get rid of it until you're ready to do so.
    But people who hang on to petrol-powered museum pieces may start to
    find it difficult to buy petrol, as less of it gets used.

    Nitrogen dioxide. Highly irritant to lungs. When air is heated to the temperatures generated by combustion, it's absolutely inevitable that
    some will be produced.

    I find it interesting that only recently has the poisonous nature of
    natural gas been discovered.

    It's more realistic to look at it from a slightly different angle: the
    presence of nitrogen dioxide in the products of combustion has been known
    for a long time, but the discovery of just how damaging it is (from
    chronic low-level exposure) is more recent.

    As for the rest of what you wrote: clearly our views differ.

    It's also interesting to note that the UK has a large and growing
    problem with pollution from burning wood to heat homes. We now have
    the bizarre situation that more particulates are generated by burning
    wood than by burning petrol or diesel fuel. Burning wood also makes
    nitrogen dioxide, of course. Reasonable people are suggesting that
    sales of new wood burning stoves should be banned - a view I support.

    But there is no credible plan anywhere in the world, as far as I know,
    to ban existing polluting cars, boilers, stoves, etc. As they break,
    wear out, or fall out of favour with their owners, they will be replaced
    by new less-polluting technologies. That's the entirely reasonable way
    we will reduce the burden of pollution on humanity and the planet.

    I've made my start.

    When my boiler wears out, maybe 12 to 15 years from now, it will be
    replaced by a heat pump. Maybe sooner.

    I find it interesting to ponder what improvements are made by a small
    number of big decisions by governments, and what are made by millions
    and billions of individual decisions - each infinitesimal in the grand
    scheme of things, but which together add up to a tangible improvement.

    I never claimed it was an answer for everyone, but it's an answer for
    many people.

    It's not even an answer for many people. It's really only an answer for a
    very small minority of people.

    How do you make that calculation?

    What percentage of the US lives in single family homes?

    67%

    However.. once you eliminate those that are rentals or lease, don't have a garage, or owned by people who can't afford an EV and the great expense of installing a high capacity EV charger. that number will go down quite a bit.

    Then you have to consider the multicar households.. How do you charge 2 cars
    in a single car garage without a lot of extra headache?

    Or do you set up 2 chargers and risk overloading the main service?

    And you want to pretend that because it won't work for everyone, it's
    useless.

    No, I'm saying that for the overwhelming majority of people it wont serve
    their needs nearly as well as an ordinary ICE.

    LOL!

    Now it's a "overwhelming majority"!

    yes... it is. If you look at car sales the overwhelming majority are still
    ICE.


    Cost for one. I mean how many people can afford a brand new luxury priced
    car without wrecking their finances?

    I mean heck, they can't afford to pay student loans or rent.. but they
    can get a new luxury car?

    By what I see on the streets each day, LOTS of people can afford to buy
    what you term a "luxury" car.

    A few people can, but I see maybe 1% ev, if that.

    Which I don't mind at all. What I mind is the fact that you want to FORCE people into a cookie cutter solution because YOU think you know what they
    need.

    I'm all in favor of letting the market work. No tax breaks, no incentives,
    no subsidies, no government aid. If the EV manufacturers want to offer these things, fine, but public money shouldn't be involved.

    Instead we have people like you ruling from on-high what the people MUST do because you somehow thing you know more about their lives than they do.

    I think some of that would depend on local electrical codes, but
    perhaps.

    While local electrical codes may offer some slight variances..
    overwhelmingly they are solidly based on the NEC and is generally the
    basis of any discussion of electrical installation and general cost
    estimates where the specific particulars are unknown.. such as a
    conversation in usenet about installing a high draw EV charger.

    Post this again when you sober up.

    Ok, what has changed?


    The simple fact is that there are high draw EV chargers that can be
    plugged in to the same KIND of receptacle as an electric stove or electric clothes dryer.

    Sure... if you want to run a cord through the house and out to where it's needed, and you don't mind having to go behind the stove or drier to plug
    and unplug things each time you need to switch.


    The costs to install such a receptacle are readily available and I'm
    sorry, but it is NOT NEAR the numbers you've been bullshitting.

    Sure, and when you stop looking at the costs for homes under construction,
    then you might have a clear idea of just how expensive that will be to do.

    Free hint: It's very easy to add such things to a home while it is being constructed.. It's a LOT harder to do with it's a completed occupied home
    with some unknown electrical system that might never have been designed for that much draw much less whether the main electrical panel will even support adding such a line.

    Instead, you just wave your hands in the air and tell people to "do it". as
    if that will somehow alter the reality.

    Hell, you don’t even know the NEC requirements, but somehow you think you're qualified to know how much it will cost to add to an existing system.

    Yes, you produced numbers but unless you're talking a home still in the
    early stages of construction.. those numbers don't mean shit.

    In fact, I bet most of those numbers predate the sharp increase in wiring costs. 50 feet of 6/3 is now selling for about $250-$300

    But if you go with in it bulk say from an electrical contractor you could
    get it for maybe $200 assuming no markup from the contractor.

    HOW much did you say it would cost again?

    https://www.homedepot.com/b/Electrical-Wire-Building-Wires/6/N-5yc1vZc57aZ1z0qyv2

    You have a furnished home.. you will have to move things away from the wall
    in question. Punch holes in the dry wall to gain access, route the cable, repair the drywall, repaint, clean and put everything back, while dealing
    with the occupants.

    Hell, the installation cost of a hot water heater is more than what you
    cited and it's just a simple swap.

    No, sir, you MIGHT be able to get those prices during construction but in an occupied house.. not a chance in hell.

    Well Alan your 150Amp panel wont support this load given your current

    That's not a cite.

    Builders don't install bigger more expensive power panels unless they

    most existing breaker panels. At least not without risking a lot of
    nuance trips of the main breaker.. which have a pretty short trip life
    and replacements are expensive.

    So you install a second panel just for the new circuit.

    Straw man.

    That could be possible, but would involve running a second feeder line which means a utility charge.

    Then it wouldn't be allowed on a single residential structure as you must
    have a single means of disconnect. You could only do that if you have a secondary building such as a detached garage or shed. Further that meter
    would have it's own bill and all the fixed costs associated with such a bill whether it used a lot of power or only a little.

    So unless you want/have a second building, or a power pole in your yard
    (since you can't hang the breaker box on the utilities' pole). In which case local ordinances and zoning come into play and depending on them may require
    a variance which may or may not be granted.

    So no, it's not really a straw man.

    Next we will need to tear down parts of your walls to run the cable,
    and correct the wiring as necessary. and then install a subpanel and
    the associated wiring for the charger. We need zoning approval, the
    house can not be occupied between when the work starts as that would be >>>> illegal with no electrical power and then the government inspectors
    have to approve the work and the power company finally returns to
    restore power once they get all the necessary documents and
    certifications. So you will have to find somewhere else to stay for
    about 1-2 weeks, but it could be as much as 3 weeks and initial
    estimate will be $12K-$20K for job. But we can't even touch the job
    until you get a permit and authorization to have this work performed,
    and perform a full electrical audit to determine the full scope of work >>>> to be performed which will cost $1,200. At last check the permit
    department has a 4-6 week back log... What? You already sold your old
    car, and you need the charger installed this weekend? Ever consider
    getting a bicycle?

    I love these people who think they can just slap in a high demand
    appliance and it will be quick, easy, and cheap to do.

    I think that you have not a single actual fact to back up that pile of
    bullshit.

    Other than having done it.

    Prove it.

    What sort of proof would you find acceptable?

    I drew up and submitted the electrical plans for a friend's home and got
    them approved without change. I did the complete wiring of that home to
    code, and passed inspection without issue and the comment that it was one of the better wiring jobs the inspector had ever seen, that he has never had
    any issue with that wiring, or that I including capped runs of conduit to
    the breaker panel to allow additions to his electrical system including conduits that run outside so he can easily add external circuits for sheds, barns or anything else he might require.

    No, I don’t have ready access to that paperwork, and even if I did I have no interest in sharing it with some ignorant idiot.

    I've done it. You've merely looked at a few articles on the internet.

    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?

    If you don't have an electric stove.. then you don't have the high
    capacity plug there to use.... even if you could.

    How stupid are you to think I'm suggesting you would use THAT PARTICULAR >>> PLUG?

    because otherwise you would be in violation of the NEC.

    I mean you did claim to be a competent electrician right?

    Nope.

    Then maybe you should STFU until you at least know something about the
    subject?



    How would having a second receptacle of the TYPE used for a stove or dryer violate the NEC?

    Because it's not allowed on any circuit over 20A.

    Any other stupidity you would like to display?

    What makes you think that because it's the same TYPE of plug you'd use
    for a stove, that I'm suggesting you use the same physcal OUTLET for
    both purposes?

    To do otherwise would violate the NEC 210.23 the only exception would be
    to unplug one appliance to plug in another NEC 210.23C

    Are you suggesting a house can't have more than one outlet of the type necessary to plug in an electric stove?

    No, but EACH one will require an INDIVIDUAL cable be run to the breaker box.

    So if you want to install a new outlet as you suggest.. you have to run a
    NEW line for it. You can NOT tap into an existing line. It's Code violation.

    I'm pointing out that this is basic wiring that any competent
    electrician can complete.

    If they were competent they would turn you down flat.

    Why?

    See below

    It doesn't require special skills or special permits.

    No, just risking their license and a boat load of liability.


    Crickets


    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range [or >>> a Level 2 EV charger] is not really any harder than wiring a standard
    outlet, but it can cost more because the electrician may need to run
    conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel, or install a new >>> circuit breaker. The electrician will price his work according to the
    length of cable that needs to be run and the amount of labor time he
    anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    <https://www.thespruce.com/electrical-project-costs-1152463>

    A low power outlet or switch is a far different thing than a high powered
    load run to the other end of the house.

    That is specifically talking about a high-powered load run.

    Nope.. light switch or 15amp outlet which can be typically tied into an existing lighting or outlet circuit in the immediate are.

    What you are talking about requires a run ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BREAKER BOX... that is significantly different.

    Further I would note that such an installation would NOT be suitable for a
    long term high draw system such as a level one charger. Unless you like the breaker tripping all the time.

    Sober up.

    Totally sober, maybe you should smarten up and try to actually find out what you're talking about.


    See what you're talking about could be done simply by patching any to any
    accessible branch or lighting circuit in the area.

    I'm not talking about patching into an accessible branch or lighting
    circuit

    But your source is, whether you know it or not.


    See, this is the whole problem.. the people like you are pushing this thing, even though you have absolutely NO clue of what it will actually involve..
    yet you think you know enough to force it on everyone else.


    What you want, however is going to require a run ALL THE WAY TO THE MAIN
    BREAKER BOX WITH A HEAVY GAUGE CABLE.

    Which is precisely what was being discussed in my quote.

    No, it's not.

    "fishing new cable to a power source,"

    What that means is finding a local lighting or branch circuit you can tap into.. NOT necessarily running a line back to the breaker box.


    Apples and Oranges.

    Sober up.

    Educate yourself.

    'The cost to run electricity to a shed, garage, or shop is $10 to $25
    per linear foot or $500 to $3,800 on average for 50 to 150 feet of
    underground line.'

    <https://homeguide.com/costs/cost-to-run-electric-to-garage-shed-or-shop> >>
    Again.. a low power feeder hooked into an accessible 15-20a branch
    circuit.

    Nope. Were do you get this straw man from?

    Because it doesn't factor in the cost of the home run, nor does it factor in
    a high capacity load.

    That is merely the cost to run the wire from the house to the shed.. does NOTHING for hooking it up or doing any electrical work inside the shed.

    If you looked further down you would see

    So your numbers are bullshit.

    No, my number are reality. Now if you want to install a 120V 5amp
    charger.. that could be done for the prices you're talking about.
    Anything more than that.. and your price is going to go up.. a lot.

    Why?

    Because that's all you could add to an existing lighting or branch circuit without excessive nuisance trips.

    My examples specifically talk about installing a circuit and receptacle of the kind necessary to carry the loads under discussion.

    Oh, ok.. then let's run the numbers from your site.

    "An electric car charging station costs $750 to $2,600, including a Level 2 charger, 240V outlet, wiring, and wall mounting."


    "Main panel size – Homes with less than 200-amp service typically require an upgrade to run electricity to a shed or garage.
    The cost to replace an electrical panel is $1,400 to $2,800 to upgrade from
    a 100-amp to a 200-amp panel."

    "Labor – Hiring an electrician costs $50 to $130 per hour, plus a $100 to $200 call-out fee, which typically covers the first hour."

    "Materials – The panel's amperage and distance from the shed or garage determine the wire size needed.
    Electrical wiring costs $0.10 to $4.00 per linear foot for the material
    alone, depending on the type and gauge."

    Materials should be factored into the main cost above, but I included it for those unusual circumstances where a longer than typical run might be
    required.

    Now some of those charges overlap and it all assumes an electrical system of fairly recent vintage. It also depends on where you are located as rates
    vary wildly by where you are.

    Now a lot of older homes come with a 100A-150A service. Meaning they are
    going to need an electrical panel upgrade before you can even think of a lvl
    2 charger.

    And all of those pre-supposes a garage to put it in. You could install it outside, that that presupposes a drive way. and adds a lot of other factors
    to the decisions, Such as a weather tight charger is going to cost you more than one you would install in an interior location, risk of damage or vandalism, weathering issues. etc.

    Plus if you do a main panel upgrade you may have to vacate your home during
    the process as the power will be turned off for the whole time.

    To suggest it will be simple and cheap is to ignore the large number of
    homes for which this is NOT true. About the only time it would be cheap and quick is if you have a 200A panel located in the garage. Otherwise it's crap shoot just how expensive it will be, but basically the older the home and
    the further from the garage the breaker panel is.. the more likely that
    price will increase sometimes drastically. Because while the panel swap can
    be relatively straight forward.. when isn't really considered is that ALL
    the wiring MUST be brought into compliance with the current code book. Which means if you have three way switches without a neutral, you may have to run those.. If you have 2 prong outlets without a ground.. you will need to run
    a ground. You will also have to change all those outlets. In short, you will have to bring the whole home into modern code compliance. That can be an expensive bill unless your home is fairly new.

    let's just say, you have little to no idea of what it would actually take,
    and you think because you've seen a few posts on the internet that makes you knowledgeable about the field or that you can even recognize the assumptions being made within those posts.

    Hell, you don't even know enough to realize you can't simply daisy chain another plug with your stove or drier plug. So how can you possibly intelligently debate the costs and factors that would go into actually installing a level 2 charger in the wide variety of homes that are out
    there. I know a neighbor that still uses the original 60A fuse based panel, with 2 wire outlet w/o a ground.

    Good luck bring that home into compliance to upgrade to a 200A service
    panel.

    The average weight of an ICE car is 3000#, the average weight of an EV is
    over 5000#

    which means when we have enough... existing parking garages will have to cut the amount of parking by about 45% since the structure wasn't designed for
    that much weight.

    Going to do wonders for trying to find parking in an urban environment.

    But that's ok, because the extra space between cars will help reduce the
    spread of fire when your EV decides it's done and the battery pack starts burning.

    Not so. There are plenty of uses for a touchscreen that you'd do

    Really?

    Such as?

    The first things that spring to mind are setting up navigation to your destination (when the voice control doesn't recognise what you're trying

    Realistically, an EV has so many features that it isn't possible to
    control them any other way.

    Sorry, but that's basically working around the limitation that you
    shouldn't do so while driving.

    Are you changing the basis of your argument? Above, you said:

    They are a good idea, in fact they are indispensable to a modern car
    with so many features. It would be a terrible idea to use them while
    driving, I agree, but the features controlled by the touch screen do
    not need to be altered while driving. So, no problem.

    My house was built in 1970 (in England). I had a charge point installed

    which I thought was expensive, but was done by a company recommended by
    the main dealer that sold me the car. It's 240 volts, 32 amps, giving
    me a charge rate of about 7.4 kW. The house has a 100 amp feed at 240
    volts, which is typical for a house of average size in this country.

    Perhaps the problems you're describing are peculiar to American house
    building and wiring practice.

    You certainly can't blame an electric car for that.

    Seriously: don't argue against things that are obviously true.

    Wtf is your damage today, Alan? I'm not arguing for or against
    anything. I'm noting that I like Rivian's architecture.

    You deflected away from the simple fact that one of the reasons EVs wear
    tires more quickly is that--everything else being equal--they weigh MORE.

    And the ultra low rolling resistance tires wear faster... and cost quite a >bit more.

    Actually they wear longer being made out of stiffer compounds to help achieve that rolling
    ease. Easy rollers are notorious for being a poor choice for handling on ICE cars because
    they simply aren't sticky enough. The reason BEVs handle as well as they do is because
    the heavy batteries dramatically lower the center of gravity and without a heavy engine at
    one end or the other, can achieve perfect 50/50 f/r weight distribution. Factor in modern
    traction management systems, and BEVs usually handle better than an equivalent ICE. This
    gives sports car level handling with a big sedan comfortable ride. This better handling
    helps contribute to safety as it makes it easier to maintain control over the vehicle.

    The higher pressures require a stronger, therefore more massive, tire. Thicker walls,
    heavier belts, etc..

    If you're working in such an extremely dense environment as a downtown full of skyscrapers, use public transportation from your home's nearest park/ride. Parking in
    your local metro park/ride is cheaper than paying for parking downtown anyway. Fuel not
    expended, lower insurance costs, less wear and tear to spend money on, your tires will
    last forever, the car will have a quarter the miles it would otherwise have had when trade

    Your ICE is 13 times more likely to catch fire than your BEV. You've been told this

    pretending the lie that EVs are dangerously flammable even though ICEs are even MORE
    dangerously flammable.

    I think some of that would depend on local electrical codes, but

    Post this again when you sober up.

    Ok, what has changed?


    The simple fact is that there are high draw EV chargers that can be
    plugged in to the same KIND of receptacle as an electric stove or
    electric
    clothes dryer.

    Sure... if you want to run a cord through the house and out to where it's needed, and you don't mind having to go behind the stove or drier to plug
    and unplug things each time you need to switch.

    Do you always post when you're drunk?

    Where have I ever suggest that you would use ONE receptacle for both
    purposes.

    What I've pointed out that it is a very standard kind of installation
    for an electrician to complete.



    The costs to install such a receptacle are readily available and I'm
    sorry, but it is NOT NEAR the numbers you've been bullshitting.

    Sure, and when you stop looking at the costs for homes under construction, then you might have a clear idea of just how expensive that will be to do.

    Free hint: It's very easy to add such things to a home while it is being constructed.. It's a LOT harder to do with it's a completed occupied home with some unknown electrical system that might never have been designed for that much draw much less whether the main electrical panel will even
    support
    adding such a line.

    Instead, you just wave your hands in the air and tell people to "do it". as if that will somehow alter the reality.

    Hell, you don’t even know the NEC requirements, but somehow you think you're
    qualified to know how much it will cost to add to an existing system.

    Yes, you produced numbers but unless you're talking a home still in the
    early stages of construction.. those numbers don't mean shit.

    Now you're just lying.

    I gave you a website that explicitly gave costs for installation on an
    existing home.

    Now grow up.

    1. It's not very expensive to have a plain-old 240/220 volt outlet
    installed. Sorry, but it's basic electric work.

    2. Getting permission to do so isn't hard.


    That is even assuming you have a garage to install one in. Yea, I
    want to see how well that charger works when you install it for
    your on-street parking and someone starts using YOUR power to
    charge THEIR car, or simply blocks you from parking there.

    I never claimed it was an answer for everyone, but it's an answer
    for many people.

    It's not even an answer for many people. It's really only an answer
    for a very small minority of people.

    How do you make that calculation?

    What percentage of the US lives in single family homes?

    67%

    However.. once you eliminate those that are rentals or lease, don't have
    a garage, or owned by people who can't afford an EV and the great
    expense of installing a high capacity EV charger. that number will go
    down quite a bit.


    Why would you automatically eliminate those that are renting, Sunshine?

    The expense IS NOT GREAT.

    That is simply false.

    Then you have to consider the multicar households.. How do you charge 2
    cars in a single car garage without a lot of extra headache?

    Edge cases, Sunshine.


    Or do you set up 2 chargers and risk overloading the main service?

    And you want to pretend that because it won't work for everyone,
    it's useless.

    No, I'm saying that for the overwhelming majority of people it wont
    serve their needs nearly as well as an ordinary ICE.

    LOL!

    Now it's a "overwhelming majority"!

    yes... it is. If you look at car sales the overwhelming majority are
    still ICE.

    Sorry, but that does not follow logically.



    Cost for one. I mean how many people can afford a brand new luxury
    priced car without wrecking their finances?

    I mean heck, they can't afford to pay student loans or rent.. but
    they can get a new luxury car?

    By what I see on the streets each day, LOTS of people can afford to
    buy what you term a "luxury" car.

    A few people can, but I see maybe 1% ev, if that.

    So?


    Which I don't mind at all. What I mind is the fact that you want to
    FORCE people into a cookie cutter solution because YOU think you know
    what they need.

    I don't want to force anyone, Sunshine.

    Now you're combining ad hominem and straw man.


    I'm all in favor of letting the market work. No tax breaks, no
    incentives, no subsidies, no government aid. If the EV manufacturers
    want to offer these things, fine, but public money shouldn't be involved.

    Instead we have people like you ruling from on-high what the people MUST
    do because you somehow thing you know more about their lives than they do.

    Ad hominem... ...straw man.

    Realistically, an EV has so many features that it isn't possible to

    Sorry, but that's basically working around the limitation that you
    shouldn't do so while driving.

    Are you changing the basis of your argument? Above, you said:

    None of which changes the fact that controls on a touchscreen are a

    They are a good idea, in fact they are indispensable to a modern car
    with so many features. It would be a terrible idea to use them while driving, I agree, but the features controlled by the touch screen do
    not need to be altered while driving. So, no problem.

    If the control exists, I guarantee you people WILL use it WHILE driving.

    And where are your bullshit cites for insurance and finance charges?

    BWAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    The reason they go through tires faster is that owners are so taken
    with the stunning
    acceleration of even cheap BEVs that they're constantly doing jack
    rabbit starts and
    slamming on the brakes.  This has been recognized as an issue with
    first time EV owners.
    Early Tesla users broke transmissions regularly because of this.

    Be fair:

    EVs do tend to be heavier than IC cars of the same size.

    The difference may not be as large as some of our trolls would insist...

    ...but taking out the IC drivetrain and putting in one of electric
    motors and a large battery pack does add weight.

    The average weight of an ICE car is 3000#, the average weight of an EV
    is over 5000#

    You are SO full of shit.

    Show your source for that claim...

    ...when you sober up.


    which means when we have enough... existing parking garages will have to
    cut the amount of parking by about 45% since the structure wasn't
    designed for that much weight.

    Going to do wonders for trying to find parking in an urban environment.

    But that's ok, because the extra space between cars will help reduce the spread of fire when your EV decides it's done and the battery pack
    starts burning.

    Show your source for that claim too.

    I think by the time we see two BEV households become common, EV chargers will be more
    common too. When landlords figure out they can charge higher rent if the place includes a
    charger . . .

    You deflected away from the simple fact that one of the reasons EVs
    wear tires more quickly is that--everything else being equal--they
    weigh MORE.

    And the ultra low rolling resistance tires wear faster... and cost quite
    a bit more.

    Then housing is totally affordable, since they have enough money to make capital upgrades to property they don’t even own.

    and you're going to do this all the time.

    Oh, that's right, reality and what you think have little connection.

    I'm all in favor of letting the market work. No tax breaks, no

    to offer these things, fine, but public money shouldn't be involved.

    Instead we have people like you ruling from on-high what the people MUST

    You actually claimed that to add a simple receptacle of the kind (the
    KIND) used for electric dryers or ranges would result in the power being
    out for "days on end".

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load.. it's going
    to take time to do, not just the panel swap but making sure all the electric branch lines are up to current standards. Which is probably unlikely unless your home is of recent built. I mean a simple 3 way switch could ruin your
    day, as you now have to run new wiring to provide a neutral at each switch location. Then you have the issue of getting the electric company out to
    remove power, and then done and inspected, you have to try to get them out again. That's probably going to take a minimum of 2 days for the majority of homes.

    I mean do you think electricians are allowed to simply remove the meter and reinstall it just because they want to?

    No. Only the utility company can do that. Further, they don't just drop everything and come running out because you called. Now you can usually schedule when power will be turned off, but you can't know exactly when you will complete the work, get the inspector to come out an certify the work,
    so you will know exactly when to schedule the utility to come back out and replace the meter.. which they won't do until you have the form from the inspector verifying the work has been approved.

    So yea, it's probably going to take days. at least 2 and depending on the
    scope of the work to be done... perhaps much longer.

    I mean have you EVER rewired a home? Do you even have a clue about how much work that could mean?

    Doesn't even have to go through your panel. Have the electrician

    I think some of that would depend on local electrical codes, but
    perhaps.

    While local electrical codes may offer some slight variances..
    overwhelmingly they are solidly based on the NEC and is generally the
    basis of any discussion of electrical installation and general cost
    estimates where the specific particulars are unknown.. such as a
    conversation in usenet about installing a high draw EV charger.

    Post this again when you sober up.

    and unplug things each time you need to switch.

    Do you always post when you're drunk?

    Let facing facts he can't contest Alan resorts to inventing excuses to
    accept his delusions instead.


    Where have I ever suggest that you would use ONE receptacle for both purposes.

    Because you have to?

    otherwise it's a code violation.


    What I've pointed out that it is a very standard kind of installation for
    an electrician to complete.

    Not really, generally electricians aren't generally called to run a major
    power line until there is an extensive remodel going on.

    The costs to install such a receptacle are readily available and I'm
    sorry, but it is NOT NEAR the numbers you've been bullshitting.

    Sure, and when you stop looking at the costs for homes under
    construction,
    then you might have a clear idea of just how expensive that will be to
    do.

    Free hint: It's very easy to add such things to a home while it is being
    constructed.. It's a LOT harder to do with it's a completed occupied home
    with some unknown electrical system that might never have been designed
    for
    that much draw much less whether the main electrical panel will even
    support
    adding such a line.

    Instead, you just wave your hands in the air and tell people to "do it".
    as
    if that will somehow alter the reality.

    Hell, you don’t even know the NEC requirements, but somehow you think
    you're
    qualified to know how much it will cost to add to an existing system.

    Yes, you produced numbers but unless you're talking a home still in the
    early stages of construction.. those numbers don't mean shit.

    Now you're just lying.

    And when confronted with facts he can't contest Alan resorts to simple
    denial as if that is going to alter reality.



    I gave you a website that explicitly gave costs for installation on an existing home.

    Yea.. for a light switch or a standard duplex receptacle.

    Adding a dedicated 40/50A 240v line is a whole different proposition particularly in an occupied building.

    Now grow up.

    You need to.

    Come back when you're sober.

    I'm totally sober, and I am certainly better qualified to speak on this
    subject than you are.

    Why would you automatically eliminate those that are renting,

    Because I doubt the renter would pay for it even assuming the

    https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/transportation/2022/02/22/how-to-get-an-ev-charger-installed-at-an-apartment-or-condo


    Still, renters have been slow to buy in. In Los Angeles, nearly
    70% of residents lease an apartment or condominium, yet only 14%
    of EV drivers are renters, according to a recent survey from Plug
    in America. A lack of chargers at older apartment buildings and
    condominiums is one major cause, but California renters who meet
    certain criteria can change that.

    Under the state’s EV charging station law, Civil Code 1947.6,
    landlords are required to accept a tenant’s written request to
    install an EV charger if they meet certain criteria: The renter
    needs to have created, extended or renewed the lease on or after
    July 1, 2015; the renter has to have a dedicated parking space at
    the building; the building needs to have at least five parking
    spaces; and the renter must pay for the EV charger, its
    installation and the charging costs incurred from plugging in
    their vehicles.

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load.. it's
    going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    not just the panel swap but making sure all
    the electric branch lines are up to current standards.

    And that's a hypothetical.

    Which is probably
    unlikely unless your home is of recent built.

    And that's a hypothetical

    I mean a simple 3 way
    switch could ruin your day, as you now have to run new wiring to provide
    a neutral at each switch location.

    And that's a non sequitur.

    Then you have the issue of getting
    the electric company out to remove power, and then done and inspected,

    No. You kill the house main breaker to wire the pony panel into it after everything else has been wired and run.

    you have to try to get them out again. That's probably going to take a minimum of 2 days for the majority of homes.

    You keep imagining that you have "get them out" while an electrician is working.

    It remains bullshit.


    I mean do you think electricians are allowed to simply remove the meter
    and reinstall it just because they want to?

    Why is there a need to remove the meter?


    No. Only the utility company can do that. Further, they don't just drop everything and come running out because you called. Now you can usually schedule when power will be turned off, but you can't know exactly when
    you will complete the work, get the inspector to come out an certify the work, so you will know exactly when to schedule the utility to come back
    out and replace the meter.. which they won't do until you have the form
    from the inspector verifying the work has been approved.

    So yea, it's probably going to take days. at least 2 and depending on
    the scope of the work to be done... perhaps much longer.

    I mean have you EVER rewired a home? Do you even have a clue about how
    much work that could mean?

    You keep setting up straw men, sonny.

    I think by the time we see two BEV households become common, EV chargers will be more
    common too. When landlords figure out they can charge higher rent if the place includes a
    charger . . .

    "Come to Dreamhaven. 1, 2, double master and 3 bedroom homes with up to two UL approved

    It would be rare indeed that both cars do so many miles per day that
    a single charger is in use every night. Not impossible, of course,
    just rare.

    And if they do, then it can't be so hard to charge one or the other
    away from home sometimes.

    "Come to Dreamhaven. 1, 2, double master and 3 bedroom homes with up to

    Not just a two day job.

    two days...

    So you agree with me

    Nope.

    You actually claimed that to add a simple receptacle of the kind (the
    KIND) used for electric dryers or ranges would result in the power being >>> out for "days on end".

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load.. it's
    going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    No, shit Sherlock, unless you want to give me a SPECIFIC house, then all I,
    or you for that matter, can talk about is generalities.

    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York being at
    63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't have modern wiring
    or even close to it? Damn straight.

    To simply wave your hands in the air and assume a 200A panel with wiring compliant with the latest NEC is to be delusional... but you are.

    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because you have
    no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of mine had a home
    that used a 60A service using fuses and the original cloth insulated wiring. Yea, lets see you add a 50amp EV power line to that home for ANY of the
    prices you've brought to the table.

    You deflected away from the simple fact that one of the reasons EVs
    wear
    tires more quickly is that--everything else being equal--they weigh
    MORE.

    And the ultra low rolling resistance tires wear faster... and cost
    quite a
    bit more.

    Actually they wear longer being made out of stiffer compounds to help
    achieve that rolling
    ease.  Easy rollers are notorious for being a poor choice for
    handling on ICE cars because
    they simply aren't sticky enough.  The reason BEVs handle as well as
    they do is because
    the heavy batteries dramatically lower the center of gravity and
    without a heavy engine at
    one end or the other, can achieve perfect 50/50 f/r weight
    distribution. Factor in modern
    traction management systems, and BEVs usually handle better than an
    equivalent ICE. This
    gives sports car level handling with a big sedan comfortable ride.
    This better handling
    helps contribute to safety as it makes it easier to maintain control
    over the vehicle.

    The higher pressures require a stronger, therefore more massive,
    tire. Thicker walls,
    heavier belts, etc..

    Dude.... ...just stop talking.

    You clearly don't know a THING about tires and what makes them wear
    fast or slow.

    I suppose you claim you do?

    Tell me what is the wear ratings for your typical ultralow rolling
    resistance tire using an an EV as opposed to say a 50,000 mile tire you
    might find on your average ICE?

    Already done, sonny.

    Not just a two day job.

    His actual words were "days on end"...

    two days...

    So you agree with me

    Nope.

    You actually claimed that to add a simple receptacle of the kind
    (the KIND) used for electric dryers or ranges would result in the
    power being out for "days on end".

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load.. it's
    going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    No, shit Sherlock, unless you want to give me a SPECIFIC house, then all
    I, or you for that matter, can talk about is generalities.

    Except you assume your generalities are all true all the time.


    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York being
    at 63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't have modern wiring or even close to it? Damn straight.

    To simply wave your hands in the air and assume a 200A panel with wiring compliant with the latest NEC is to be delusional... but you are.

    And it doesn't matter. Because you are allowed to install new circuits
    into a home with old wiring.


    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because you
    have no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of mine had
    a home that used a 60A service using fuses and the original cloth
    insulated wiring. Yea, lets see you add a 50amp EV power line to that
    home for ANY of the prices you've brought to the table.

    That's called an "edge case", sonny.

    vehicle market. A relentless campaign in the right wing media against government plans to
    ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in 2030 reflects the views of an increasingly
    desperate fossil fuels lobby, and I had read story after story about a lack of working
    chargers in the UK. I took out a second breakdown policy when I realized that mine covered
    only one callout in any 28-day period. I expected an adventure, and to come back with
    tales to tell, like running out of charge halfway up a mountain, or making friends for
    life with a random farmer as the car took all night to charge on their three-point socket.

    the heavy batteries dramatically lower the center of gravity and without a heavy engine at
    one end or the other, can achieve perfect 50/50 f/r weight distribution. Factor in modern
    traction management systems, and BEVs usually handle better than an equivalent ICE. This
    gives sports car level handling with a big sedan comfortable ride. This better handling
    helps contribute to safety as it makes it easier to maintain control over the vehicle.

    The higher pressures require a stronger, therefore more massive, tire. Thicker walls,
    heavier belts, etc..

    Dude.... ...just stop talking.

    You clearly don't know a THING about tires and what makes them wear fast
    or slow.


    Neither do you or you would have posted correct information instead of just spitting on
    the sidewalk.

    Alright.

    Show ONE source that claims that battery EVs handle "better" than equivalently-sized (by carrying capacities, not overall weight) ICE
    vehicles.

    Just one.
    / copy

    As you can see, the context is a lengthy discussion of tire wear with other points added.
    You capped this discussion with "Alright.

    "Show ONE source that claims that battery EVs handle "better" than equivalently-sized (by carrying capacities, not overall weight) ICE
    vehicles.

    "Just one."

    You moved the goalpost from tire wear to EV handling. "battery EVs handle "better" than "

    I provided four.

    Isn't it interesting that suddenly you've chosen to remove it?

    So you couldn't show one source that actually states what you claimed...

    ...but have not carefully snipped.

    Sometimes the information you want isn't in a single paragraph in the encyclopedia.

    The first one describes the Lucid as a luxury sedan comparable to an S class with handling
    superior to the BMW M5. This addresses your request for ONE source to show EVs handling
    better than ICEs.

    The second video explains why EVs are so much quicker than comparable ICEs. This relates
    also to performance, in this case, straight line power, a more American consideration of
    performance.

    The third video tells about living with an electric truck long term. Self explanatory.
    Consider it bonus info.

    The fourth compares another Rivian model and states very specifically the effect of the
    inherent low center of gravity on EV handling. Also a dissertation about handling that
    explains how, specifically, handling is improved by the inherent design of an EV

    If you couldn't be bothered to check out the resources provided, you have no reason to
    complain that resources weren't provided.

    If you're going to move goal posts, you have no business complaining about context.

    The simple fact is, EVs have superior handling qualities compared to similar ICE vehicles.

    Now, how about you provide some proof of your tire wear claim?

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load.. it's
    going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    No, shit Sherlock, unless you want to give me a SPECIFIC house, then all
    I, or you for that matter, can talk about is generalities.

    Except you assume your generalities are all true all the time.

    No, I don't. I'm perfectly willing to accept some homes will be simple easy
    and quick....

    ...BUT not all homes are going to be that way. Something you wont admit.

    Indeed until about the mid 2000s were 200A panels largely standard in home construction. Before that you're looking at 100A-150A.. which by your own source means you may need a main panel upgrade. Which is going to be an
    added expense, and the older your home is the more expensive that upgrade
    could become.



    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York being
    at 63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't have modern
    wiring or even close to it? Damn straight.

    To simply wave your hands in the air and assume a 200A panel with wiring
    compliant with the latest NEC is to be delusional... but you are.

    And it doesn't matter. Because you are allowed to install new circuits
    into a home with old wiring.

    As long as you don't change the main panel.

    The problem is those older panels may not support that additional load, even assuming you can find the proper breakers for some of them that have long
    since been discontinued. Then let's not even get into those that have been found to be dangerous and unreliable. Which many electricians won't even
    touch because if something happens.. anything happens... their new work will
    be blamed even if it had nothing to do with the cause of the failure.

    But hey.. you just totally and utterly ignore such issues, because real life situations have nothing to do with what you're calling for.


    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because you
    have no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of mine had
    a home that used a 60A service using fuses and the original cloth
    insulated wiring. Yea, lets see you add a 50amp EV power line to that
    home for ANY of the prices you've brought to the table.

    That's called an "edge case", sonny.

    Yep, and there are a whole hell of a lot of edge cases.

    That's why number you see online are based on a LOT of assumptions and while they might be typical for most people.. a whole lot of other people will
    find they don't even come close to being accurate for their specific conditions.

    Oh, but that's right, you don't want to discuss any condition that doesn't favor your agenda.

    Meanwhile, we still have rentals, leased, apartments, townhouses, on-street parking and lack of garages to address..

    Then we can get into load requirements, energy emergencies and long term
    power outages.. all of which will basically strand you at home.

    Yes, you do. You may not think so but you have done nothing but list reason after reason

    Here you go again, describing on in ten, blithely ignoring this is a special case issue
    affecting a minority of homeowners that isn't in the market for a new EV anyway.

    But hey.. you just totally and utterly ignore such issues, because real life >situations have nothing to do with what you're calling for.

    As you do. This hasn't been your only time arguing against EVs nor has it been the only
    tack you've taken. The oil lobby is VERY busy trying to convince as many as possible that
    EVs simply aren't going to work. Everybody else, virtually every nation, every US state,
    power companies and government entities is planning a future around climate change that
    includes heavy use of EVs.

    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because you
    have no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of mine had >>> a home that used a 60A service using fuses and the original cloth

    Yep, and there are a whole hell of a lot of edge cases.

    Again, those edge cases aren't in any condition to plop down 100k for a new Rivian if
    they're living in a sixty year old house with cloth covered wiring and a fuse box. Most
    jurisdictions required such homes to upgrade decades ago.

    That's why number you see online are based on a LOT of assumptions

    As is EVERYTHING you've said in this thread.

    and while
    they might be typical for most people.. a whole lot of other people will

    Your conditions? Exactly. They apply to few and for the most part, those few aren't

    You think adding a pony panel is going to create a lot of
    "dust, dirt or
    noise"?

    LOL!
    The really funny bit is the fool thinks replacing a service
    panel is a two day job.
    ROTFLMAO!


    Not just a two day job.

    His actual words were "days on end"...

    two days...

    So you agree with me

    Nope.

    You actually claimed that to add a simple receptacle of the kind
    (the KIND) used for electric dryers or ranges would result in the
    power being out for "days on end".

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load..
    it's going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    No, shit Sherlock, unless you want to give me a SPECIFIC house, then
    all I, or you for that matter, can talk about is generalities.

    Except you assume your generalities are all true all the time.

    No, I don't. I'm perfectly willing to accept some homes will be simple
    easy and quick....

    Yes.

    Your entire argument has been that all these generalities apply all the
    time.


    ...BUT not all homes are going to be that way.  Something you wont admit.

    Indeed until about the mid 2000s were 200A panels largely standard in
    home construction. Before that you're looking at 100A-150A.. which by
    your own source means you may need a main panel upgrade. Which is going
    to be an added expense, and the older your home is the more expensive
    that upgrade could become.

    Or a secondary panel...

    You get that that can be done, right?




    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York
    being at 63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't
    have modern wiring or even close to it? Damn straight.

    To simply wave your hands in the air and assume a 200A panel with
    wiring compliant with the latest NEC is to be delusional... but you are.

    And it doesn't matter. Because you are allowed to install new circuits
    into a home with old wiring.

    As long as you don't change the main panel.

    So install a secondary panel.


    The problem is those older panels may not support that additional load,
    even assuming you can find the proper breakers for some of them that
    have long since been discontinued. Then let's not even get into those
    that have been found to be dangerous and unreliable. Which many
    electricians won't even touch because if something happens.. anything happens... their new work will be blamed even if it had nothing to do
    with the cause of the failure.

    So install a secondary panel.


    But hey.. you just totally and utterly ignore such issues, because real
    life situations have nothing to do with what you're calling for.


    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because
    you have no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of
    mine had a home that used a 60A service using fuses and the original
    cloth insulated wiring. Yea, lets see you add a 50amp EV power line
    to that home for ANY of the prices you've brought to the table.

    That's called an "edge case", sonny.

    Yep, and there are a whole hell of a lot of edge cases.

    Nope. That's WHY they're called "edge cases".


    That's why number you see online are based on a LOT of assumptions and
    while they might be typical for most people.. a whole lot of other
    people will find they don't even come close to being accurate for their specific conditions.

    Oh, but that's right, you don't want to discuss any condition that
    doesn't favor your agenda.

    I have no agenda. Sorry.


    Meanwhile, we still have rentals, leased, apartments, townhouses,
    on-street parking and lack of garages to address..

    Rental units can be outfitted with chargers by their owners, as can
    townhouses and houses without garages can still have chargers on the
    outside of the home.


    Then we can get into load requirements, energy emergencies and long term power outages.. all of which will basically strand you at home.

    Then we can also get into home generation of electricity.

    You deflected away from the simple fact that one of the reasons
    EVs wear
    tires more quickly is that--everything else being equal--they
    weigh MORE.

    And the ultra low rolling resistance tires wear faster... and cost >>>>>> quite a
    bit more.

    Actually they wear longer being made out of stiffer compounds to
    help achieve that rolling
    ease.  Easy rollers are notorious for being a poor choice for
    handling on ICE cars because
    they simply aren't sticky enough.  The reason BEVs handle as well
    as they do is because
    the heavy batteries dramatically lower the center of gravity and
    without a heavy engine at
    one end or the other, can achieve perfect 50/50 f/r weight
    distribution. Factor in modern
    traction management systems, and BEVs usually handle better than an
    equivalent ICE. This
    gives sports car level handling with a big sedan comfortable ride.
    This better handling
    helps contribute to safety as it makes it easier to maintain
    control over the vehicle.

    The higher pressures require a stronger, therefore more massive,
    tire. Thicker walls,
    heavier belts, etc..

    Dude.... ...just stop talking.

    You clearly don't know a THING about tires and what makes them wear
    fast or slow.

    I suppose you claim you do?

    Tell me what is the wear ratings for your typical ultralow rolling
    resistance tire using an an EV as opposed to say a 50,000 mile tire
    you might find on your average ICE?

    Already done, sonny.

    Then you don't know and you refuse to find out.

    No, I mean I already provided specific examples of a regular tire and an
    EV tire for the same EV in the exact same size.

    So you couldn't show one source that actually states what you claimed...

    ...but have not carefully snipped.

    Sometimes the information you want isn't in a single paragraph in the encyclopedia.

    The first one describes the Lucid as a luxury sedan comparable to an S class with handling
    superior to the BMW M5. This addresses your request for ONE source to show EVs handling
    better than ICEs.

    The second video explains why EVs are so much quicker than comparable ICEs. This relates
    also to performance, in this case, straight line power, a more American consideration of
    performance.

    The third video tells about living with an electric truck long term. Self explanatory.
    Consider it bonus info.

    The fourth compares another Rivian model and states very specifically the effect of the
    inherent low center of gravity on EV handling. Also a dissertation about handling that
    explains how, specifically, handling is improved by the inherent design of an EV

    If you couldn't be bothered to check out the resources provided, you have no reason to
    complain that resources weren't provided.

    If you're going to move goal posts, you have no business complaining about context.

    The simple fact is, EVs have superior handling qualities compared to similar ICE vehicles.

    Now, how about you provide some proof of your tire wear claim?

    You actually claimed that to add a simple receptacle of the kind >>>>>>> (the KIND) used for electric dryers or ranges would result in the >>>>>>> power being out for "days on end".

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load.. it's >>>>>> going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    No, shit Sherlock, unless you want to give me a SPECIFIC house, then
    all I, or you for that matter, can talk about is generalities.

    Except you assume your generalities are all true all the time.

    No, I don't. I'm perfectly willing to accept some homes will be simple
    easy and quick....

    Yes.

    Your entire argument has been that all these generalities apply all the
    time.

    Wrong. What I've contests is that your generalities apply all the time.

    I am the one pointing out all the exceptions to your generalities and WHY
    they are exceptions.. only to be told they don't matter. As if that makes
    them go away.

    ...BUT not all homes are going to be that way. Something you wont admit.


    <crickets>

    Indeed until about the mid 2000s were 200A panels largely standard in
    home construction. Before that you're looking at 100A-150A.. which by
    your own source means you may need a main panel upgrade. Which is going
    to be an added expense, and the older your home is the more expensive
    that upgrade could become.

    Or a secondary panel...

    Only if you have a second structure to put it on.

    Are you going to build a whole new free standard garage for your EV car?

    What's the cost of THAT going to be, assuming zoning ordinances will even
    allow it?


    You get that that can be done, right?

    Nope. You can only have one meter on a residential structure since you can
    only have one means of power disconnect. So you would have to build a whole second building to hold both the meter and the charger. How much do you
    suppose that will cost?


    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York being >>>> at 63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't have modern >>>> wiring or even close to it? Damn straight.

    To simply wave your hands in the air and assume a 200A panel with
    wiring compliant with the latest NEC is to be delusional... but you
    are.

    And it doesn't matter. Because you are allowed to install new circuits
    into a home with old wiring.

    As long as you don't change the main panel.

    So install a secondary panel.

    So you're going to build another garage as a separate building?



    The problem is those older panels may not support that additional load,
    even assuming you can find the proper breakers for some of them that have
    long since been discontinued. Then let's not even get into those that
    have been found to be dangerous and unreliable. Which many electricians
    won't even touch because if something happens.. anything happens... their
    new work will be blamed even if it had nothing to do with the cause of
    the failure.

    So install a secondary panel.

    Building another stand alone garage?



    But hey.. you just totally and utterly ignore such issues, because real
    life situations have nothing to do with what you're calling for.


    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because you >>>> have no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of mine
    had a home that used a 60A service using fuses and the original cloth
    insulated wiring. Yea, lets see you add a 50amp EV power line to that
    home for ANY of the prices you've brought to the table.

    That's called an "edge case", sonny.

    Yep, and there are a whole hell of a lot of edge cases.

    Nope. That's WHY they're called "edge cases".

    And no limit are put on these 'edge cases' they can run 49.9999% and since
    the article only speaks of 'most homes' the 50.0001% of the homes that it applies to are all it applies to.

    meanwhile given the average age of a home.. there are a LOT of these 'edge cases'.

    Something you continue to refuse to accept as proven by your denial of them throughout this post.


    That's why number you see online are based on a LOT of assumptions and
    while they might be typical for most people.. a whole lot of other people
    will find they don't even come close to being accurate for their specific
    conditions.

    Oh, but that's right, you don't want to discuss any condition that
    doesn't favor your agenda.

    I have no agenda. Sorry.

    Then why did you bring up the topic, and continue to push it in the face of your ignorance of it?


    Meanwhile, we still have rentals, leased, apartments, townhouses,
    on-street parking and lack of garages to address..

    Rental units can be outfitted with chargers by their owners,

    Assuming the owner wants to do so, and WHO do you think is going to end up paying for that.

    People are complaining now about the lack of affordable housings... so let's bump their rental rate even higher?

    Further given the string of massive fires by EVs as the owner would I want
    to accept the liability of adding such a danger to the structure much less
    the inhabitants.. Because you know if anything happens it will be you facing the liabilities. You say, oh but he has insurance, that doesn't consider
    that insurance rates are likely to increase by adding that charger and the company now has greater liability, and second does NOTHING for incidental
    loses or lawsuits brought against the owner.

    Na, I don't see landlords being readily willing to pay for such, much less consumers paying the higher rates that would result.

    Now they might set up such a charger elsewhere, but you can insure you're
    not going to be using it as cost, but rather it will be a separate business that is expected to make a profit. There goes your savings from using
    electric instead of gas.

    as can townhouses and houses without garages can still have chargers on the >outside of the home.

    Where?

    What massive area of extra parking do you think exists to support such, and
    as noted above how expensive will it be for you to use them, because you're certainly NOT going to be charging at cost... no you are going to be paying your landlord a handsome profit as well.


    Then we can get into load requirements, energy emergencies and long term
    power outages.. all of which will basically strand you at home.

    Then we can also get into home generation of electricity.

    Really? So other issues aside how much is that going to cost? How do you justify the pollution necessary to produce, transport and install such
    devices? You think that is all emission free?

    Then... do you think the landlord is going to accept you poking holes in the roof and risking water damage? That doesn’t even consider the danger of increased fire and fire damage that would result, as well as making it much more expensive to replace the roof in the future, or to inspect/repair such
    a roof.

    HOW much are you willing to pay to charge your EV again?

    Ah, but I didn't dispute the premise about relative wear rates, Sunshine.

    Making ourselves miserable? In what way? I can't see any
    evidence that
    any of this is making us miserable. I'll be interested to see your >>> > explanation of your words.

    How about having to convert our economical gas-fired homes to
    all-electric. Some of us don't actually need to heat our houses. We >>> don't do a lot of cooking. We shower at the gym. But we are really
    pissed that we just bought a $1K gas stove which we expected to be
    buried
    in.

    You won't be forced to convert to all-electric before you're ready to
    do so. Legislation is not retroactive. New builds will have to be
    all-electric, yes, but that doesn't affect you.

    The intent is to require the conversion of existing homes from gas to electricity.

    Really? And you're basing that claim on... ...what?

    IMO, probably some Faux news expressing outrage from a very localized
    (to NYC) proposed zoning change, which IIRC says that new construction shouldn’t have gas lines. Nevermind that it’s supposedly too soon, despite
    the “all electric house†being a showcase at the 1964 Worlds Fair.

    All it takes to shut off the gas is a decision and a big
    switch. Not clear who's allowed to make that decision, and it's not
    clear who's allowed to overturn it. But it's what the asshole greenies want and they seem to be really good at getting what they want.

    Supporting evidence, please.

    Nobody wanted to convert their cars to run on unleaded, but we all had
    to replace our old cylinder heads with "smog heads" with hardened valve seats.

    Ummmmmm.... ...because lead is POISONOUS TO HUMANS.

    And that “Bev†is still butthurt from a change from 40+ years ago…
    …and during a Republican administration no less!

    At some point we were required to install some sort of anti-NOX
    device, which was later NOT required -- BUT the sticker placed on the instrument panel when the device was installed WAS required to be there.

    That's... ...nicely vague.

    Could be alluding to pollution controls on diesels. Or maybe Bev is instead referring to PCV, which was first required 60years ago (1964)

    Fortunately the shop that had installed the NOX device a decade or two previously found an appropriate sticker in the back of the manager's
    desk drawer so we could continue to drive the 1968 Dodge van. Yes, it
    IS insane. Yes, it WAS required. This is California. Idiots ruled by idiots.

    Yeah... ...those "idiots" who decided that maybe having decent air to breathe was a good idea.

    And how it was found that Pb exposure lowered IQ scores by a half standard deviation.

    I live here only because the house is paid for, the property taxes are minimal (Thanks, Howard!), and all our friends and family live here. I once thought California was a good place. Now it's just a dump with a
    few pretty places. And did I mention the hell-in-a-handbasket public school system? Don't get me started.

    Who could stop you?

    Advanced age will, pretty shortly.

    Your gas stove emits pollutants inside your home at levels that would be >> illegal outdoors. You can carry on living in that as long as you like. >> We have an induction cooker.

    I've lived with gas stoves and heaters for 80 years and I still ski and play tennis. Tell me more about this pollution of which you speak. I find it interesting that only recently has the poisonous nature of
    natural gas been discovered.

    "I've smoked for 85 years and I didn't get cancer".

    Maybe its already manifesting as lower IQ..

    BTW, did you know that you can actually be ELECTROCUTED by touching electric wires? Why were we not told about this earlier?

    BTW, did you know that electrical codes are written to make that
    possibility extremely unlikely.

    Bev is down in their crawl space, trying to touch both conductors on
    their knob & tube…just to prove you wrong.

    How about having to get rid of the first NICE car we have ever had?

    Again, you won't have to get rid of it until you're ready to do so.
    But people who hang on to petrol-powered museum pieces may start to
    find it difficult to buy petrol, as less of it gets used.

    You're living in a fantasy world where you are a grown-up and no longer need a nanny to look after you. Here in California things are very different. I am unable to buy a kitchen sink faucet that will fill my sink in under 5 minutes. Theory has it that we just sort of sit there
    and watch the water run down the drain for fun rather than filling a container with the amount of water we need so we need The State to save
    us from ourselves. Our gasoline is different and more expensive, only part of the additional cost due to manufacture. Our jerry cans are very nearly useless.

    Cite, please.

    Well, CA does need to conserve water, as CA is largely arid & unsustainably relying on the Colorado river. So even though moderation makes sense, seems more like they’d prefer to run out completely than to be inconvenienced even slightly.

    I love steam trains, but I wouldn't dream of trying to run a modern
    railway with them.

    How about all the other bullshit that supposedly greenifies our
    world? Some cities, for instance, want our compostable scraps to be
    put in
    little bags and placed in the top of our yard waste containers. Other >>> cities want it put in loose. Others just put all the trash in one
    big bin
    and let people (presumably otherwise unemployable) sort it out at the >>> plant. They can't even agree on how to properly deal with table scraps. >>
    We have to separate out some of our waste. It's no big deal. I wish
    there were some more categories.

    It's no problem at all, but what gripes me is that the assholes make
    rules without actually thinking about their implementation or effects.

    How about increasing the density of our suburbs so that people won't
    have
    to drive so far to go to work?

    Really? You want to live more crowded?

    No. I live in a cheap suburb with 50x150 lots and 1KSF houses. It's
    now legal to put 4-unit apartment houses in my single-family
    neighborhood as well as "accessory dwelling units? (granny flats),
    thereby increasing the density here as well as in the center of the city where bigger and bigger multi-unit buildings are going up. "Increasing the density" is a negative; I would have thought that was understood.

    The State has ordered thus. Apparently the State can withhold some of
    the sales tax money if the City tells the State to fuck off. My
    feeling: we were here first. Tough luck if you want to live here --
    get in line or move further out and build your own damn city.

    But we digress...

    And you won't even examine the fact that billionaires have been
    gaming the system...

    Nor that it really isn’t their water that they’re using up, either.
    SoCA and the southwest are on borrowed time…

    "Show ONE source that claims that battery EVs handle "better" than equivalently-sized (by carrying capacities, not overall weight) ICE

    You moved the goalpost from tire wear to EV handling. "battery EVs handle "better" than "

    The reason they go through tires faster is that owners are so taken
    with the stunning
    acceleration of even cheap BEVs that they're constantly doing jack
    rabbit starts and
    slamming on the brakes.  This has been recognized as an issue with
    first time EV owners.
    Early Tesla users broke transmissions regularly because of this.

    Be fair:

    EVs do tend to be heavier than IC cars of the same size.

    The difference may not be as large as some of our trolls would insist...

    ...but taking out the IC drivetrain and putting in one of electric
    motors and a large battery pack does add weight.

    The average weight of an ICE car is 3000#, the average weight of an EV
    is over 5000#

    Got a cite for that?

    Thought not.


    which means when we have enough... existing parking garages will have to
    cut the amount of parking by about 45% since the structure wasn't
    designed for that much weight.

    Only after we accept your bullshit as fact.


    Going to do wonders for trying to find parking in an urban environment.

    But that's ok, because the extra space between cars will help reduce the spread of fire when your EV decides it's done and the battery pack
    starts burning.

    EVs have fires at rates LOWER than ICEs.

    No, I mean I already provided specific examples of a regular tire and

    No, you haven't. Look above.. there is absolutely nothing there.

    estimates where the specific particulars are unknown.. such as a
    conversation in usenet about installing a high draw EV charger.

    Ok, what has changed?


    The simple fact is that there are high draw EV chargers that can be
    plugged in to the same KIND of receptacle as an electric stove or
    electric
    clothes dryer.

    Sure... if you want to run a cord through the house and out to where
    it's
    needed, and you don't mind having to go behind the stove or drier to
    plug
    and unplug things each time you need to switch.

    Do you always post when you're drunk?

    Let facing facts he can't contest Alan resorts to inventing excuses to
    accept his delusions instead.


    Where have I ever suggest that you would use ONE receptacle for both
    purposes.

    Because you have to?

    otherwise it's a code violation.


    Please cite that code...

    ...or admit you're just a drunk liar.



    What I've pointed out that it is a very standard kind of installation
    for an electrician to complete.

    Not really, generally electricians aren't generally called to run a
    major power line until there is an extensive remodel going on.

    A single circuit for a 240/220 receptacle isn't a "major power line".


    The costs to install such a receptacle are readily available and I'm
    sorry, but it is NOT NEAR the numbers you've been bullshitting.

    Sure, and when you stop looking at the costs for homes under
    construction,
    then you might have a clear idea of just how expensive that will be
    to do.

    Free hint: It's very easy to add such things to a home while it is being >>> constructed.. It's a LOT harder to do with it's a completed occupied
    home
    with some unknown electrical system that might never have been
    designed for
    that much draw much less whether the main electrical panel will even
    support
    adding such a line.

    Instead, you just wave your hands in the air and tell people to "do
    it". as
    if that will somehow alter the reality.

    Hell, you don’t even know the NEC requirements, but somehow you think
    you're
    qualified to know how much it will cost to add to an existing system.

    Yes, you produced numbers but unless you're talking a home still in the
    early stages of construction.. those numbers don't mean shit.

    Now you're just lying.

    And when confronted with facts he can't contest Alan resorts to simple
    denial as if that is going to alter reality.

    I posted from a site that specifically cited numbers for
    post-construction upgrades




    I gave you a website that explicitly gave costs for installation on an
    existing home.

    Yea.. for a light switch or a standard duplex receptacle.

    Now you're lying again.


    Adding a dedicated 40/50A 240v line is a whole different proposition particularly in an occupied building.

    No. It really isn't.


    Now grow up.

    You need to.

    Come back when you're sober.

    I'm totally sober, and I am certainly better qualified to speak on this subject than you are.

    By what credentials?

    Have the personal integrity to admit that.

    Yep, because if you need a panel upgrade to service that load..
    it's going to take time to do,

    So that's a hypothetical.

    No, shit Sherlock, unless you want to give me a SPECIFIC house,
    then all I, or you for that matter, can talk about is generalities.

    Except you assume your generalities are all true all the time.

    No, I don't. I'm perfectly willing to accept some homes will be
    simple easy and quick....

    Yes.

    Your entire argument has been that all these generalities apply all
    the time.

    Wrong. What I've contests is that your generalities apply all the time.

    I am the one pointing out all the exceptions to your generalities and
    WHY they are exceptions.. only to be told they don't matter. As if that
    makes them go away.

    ...BUT not all homes are going to be that way.  Something you wont
    admit.


    <crickets>

    Indeed until about the mid 2000s were 200A panels largely standard in
    home construction. Before that you're looking at 100A-150A.. which by
    your own source means you may need a main panel upgrade. Which is
    going to be an added expense, and the older your home is the more
    expensive that upgrade could become.

    Or a secondary panel...

    Only if  you have a second structure to put it on.

    Are you going to build a whole new free standard garage for your EV car?

    What's the cost of THAT going to be, assuming zoning ordinances will
    even allow it?


    You get that that can be done, right?

    Nope. You can only have one meter on a residential structure since you
    can only have one means of power disconnect. So you would have to build
    a whole second building to hold both the meter and the charger. How much
    do you suppose that will cost?


    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York
    being at 63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't
    have modern wiring or even close to it? Damn straight.

    To simply wave your hands in the air and assume a 200A panel with
    wiring compliant with the latest NEC is to be delusional... but you
    are.

    And it doesn't matter. Because you are allowed to install new
    circuits into a home with old wiring.

    As long as you don't change the main panel.

    So install a secondary panel.

    So you're going to build another garage as a separate building?

    You make the most absurd leaps.

    You don't have to have another building to have a secondary panel.




    The problem is those older panels may not support that additional
    load, even assuming you can find the proper breakers for some of them
    that have long since been discontinued. Then let's not even get into
    those that have been found to be dangerous and unreliable. Which many
    electricians won't even touch because if something happens.. anything
    happens... their new work will be blamed even if it had nothing to do
    with the cause of the failure.

    So install a secondary panel.

    Building another stand alone garage?


    You don't have to have another building to have a secondary panel.

    But hey.. you just totally and utterly ignore such issues, because
    real life situations have nothing to do with what you're calling for.


    There why estimating a job such as this is so conditional.. because
    you have no idea of the age or condition of the home. A neighbor of
    mine had a home that used a 60A service using fuses and the
    original cloth insulated wiring. Yea, lets see you add a 50amp EV
    power line to that home for ANY of the prices you've brought to the
    table.

    That's called an "edge case", sonny.

    Yep, and there are a whole hell of a lot of edge cases.

    Nope. That's WHY they're called "edge cases".

    And no limit are put on these 'edge cases' they can run 49.9999% and
    since the article only speaks of 'most homes' the 50.0001% of the homes
    that it applies to are all it applies to.

    49.999% is not an "edge case".


    meanwhile given the average age of a home.. there are a LOT of these
    'edge cases'.

    Something you continue to refuse to accept as proven by your denial of
    them throughout this post.

    You continue to refuse to post an figures to back up your bullshit.



    That's why number you see online are based on a LOT of assumptions
    and while they might be typical for most people.. a whole lot of
    other people will find they don't even come close to being accurate
    for their specific conditions.

    Oh, but that's right, you don't want to discuss any condition that
    doesn't favor your agenda.

    I have no agenda. Sorry.

    Then why did you bring up the topic, and continue to push it in the face
    of your ignorance of it?

    What topic did I bring up?



    Meanwhile, we still have rentals, leased, apartments, townhouses,
    on-street parking and lack of garages to address..

    Rental units can be outfitted with chargers by their owners,

    Assuming the owner wants to do so, and WHO do you think is going to end
    up paying for that.

    The renter of course...

    ...but doing so might make a unit more attractive to some renters.


    People are complaining now about the lack of affordable housings... so
    let's bump their rental rate even higher?

    Given the real numbers for installing a charger, and not your bullshit
    numbers?


    Further given the string of massive fires by EVs as the owner would I

    Fires in EVs occur at a lower rate than ICE vehicles.
    as can townhouses and houses without garages can still have chargers
    on the outside of the home.

    Where?

    What massive area of extra parking do you think exists to support such,
    and as noted above how expensive will it be for you to use them, because you're certainly NOT going to be charging at cost... no you are going to
    be paying your landlord a handsome profit as well.

    Why do you assume that housing units without garages always have no parking?

    In fact, I bet most of those numbers predate the sharp increase in wiring costs. 50 feet of 6/3 is now selling for about $250-$300

    Oh, no! $250-$300?

    LOL


    But if you go with in it bulk say from an electrical contractor you could
    get it for maybe $200 assuming no markup from the contractor.

    HOW much did you say it would cost again?

    https://www.homedepot.com/b/Electrical-Wire-Building-Wires/6/N-5yc1vZc57aZ1z0qyv2

    You have a furnished home.. you will have to move things away from the wall in question. Punch holes in the dry wall to gain access, route the cable, repair the drywall, repaint, clean and put everything back,  while dealing with the occupants.

    Or just do it in the basement.


    Hell, the installation cost of a hot water heater is more than what you
    cited and it's just a simple swap.

    No, sir, you MIGHT be able to get those prices during construction but
    in an
    occupied house.. not a chance in hell.

    Sure, install the terminal and interconnect and home run AFTER

    You get that the same TYPE of outlet can be installed anywhere in
    a home, right?

    Sure, and all you need is deep enough pockets.

    Well Alan your 150Amp panel wont support this load given your
    current electrical system, so we're going to have to upgrade to a
    200-225 Amp panel, then we have to update all the wiring to current
    code as required by the electrical code

    Cite, please!

    Load calculations.

    That's not a cite.

    Builders don't install bigger more expensive power panels unless they
    have to.. and it's going to be a cost extra. Which means you probably
    aren't going to have enough extra to add a 240V 50A long term draw to
    most existing breaker panels. At least not without risking a lot of
    nuance trips of the main breaker.. which have a pretty short trip
    life and replacements are expensive.

    So you install a second panel just for the new circuit.

    Straw man.

    That could be possible, but would involve running a second feeder line
    which means a utility charge.

    Then it wouldn't be allowed on a single residential structure as you
    must have a single means of disconnect. You could only do that if you
    have a secondary building such as a detached garage or shed. Further
    that meter would have it's own bill and all the fixed costs associated
    with such a bill whether it used a lot of power or only a little.

    So unless you want/have a second building, or a power pole in your yard (since you can't hang the breaker box on the utilities' pole). In which
    case local ordinances and zoning come into play and depending on them
    may require a variance which may or may not be granted.

    So no, it's not really a straw man.

    Or you install the pony panel off the main panel...

    ...or at an absolute push, you buy one of these:

    <https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-200-Amp-8-Space-16-Circuit-Outdoor-Ringless-Overhead-Underground-Main-Breaker-CSED-RC816F200C/100178340>


    Next we will need to tear down parts of your walls to run the
    cable, and correct the wiring as necessary. and then install a
    subpanel and the associated wiring for the charger. We need zoning
    approval, the house can not be occupied between when the work
    starts as that would be illegal with no electrical power and then
    the government inspectors have to approve the work and the power
    company finally returns to restore power once they get all the
    necessary documents and certifications. So you will have to find
    somewhere else to stay for about 1-2 weeks, but it could be as much
    as 3 weeks and initial estimate will be $12K-$20K for job. But we
    can't even touch the job until you get a permit and authorization
    to have this work performed, and perform a full electrical audit to
    determine the full scope of work to be performed which will cost
    $1,200. At last check the permit department has a 4-6 week back
    log... What? You already sold your old car, and you need the
    charger installed this weekend? Ever consider getting a bicycle?

    I love these people who think they can just slap in a high demand
    appliance and it will be quick, easy, and cheap to do.

    I think that you have not a single actual fact to back up that pile
    of bullshit.

    Other than having done it.

    Prove it.

    What sort of proof would you find acceptable?

    I drew up and submitted the electrical plans for a friend's home and got
    them approved without change. I did the complete wiring of that home to
    code, and passed inspection without issue and the comment that it was
    one of the better wiring jobs the inspector had ever seen, that he has
    never had any issue with that wiring, or that I including capped runs of conduit to the breaker panel to allow additions to his electrical system including conduits that run outside so he can easily add external
    circuits for sheds, barns or anything else he might require.

    No, I don’t have ready access to that paperwork, and even if I did I
    have no interest in sharing it with some ignorant idiot.

    How convenient.

    I do have access to the construction drawings I did for a custom home.


    I've done it. You've merely looked at a few articles on the internet.

    You SAY you've done it.


    Who cooks with electricity anyway, except you, DOLT.

    How is this even relevant?

    If you don't have an electric stove.. then you don't have the high
    capacity plug there to use.... even if you could.

    How stupid are you to think I'm suggesting you would use THAT
    PARTICULAR PLUG?

    because otherwise you would be in violation of the NEC.

    I mean you did claim to be a competent electrician right?

    Nope.

    Then maybe you should STFU until you at least know something about the subject?



    How would having a second receptacle of the TYPE used for a stove or
    dryer violate the NEC?

    Because it's not allowed on any circuit over 20A.

    And where did I suggest that it would be on any such circuit...

    ...and how does a guy who claims to know so much miss that you can't
    install a 240/220 receptacle on normal, single phase house circuit?

    It really suggests you don't know shit.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    Great, I'm sure your wife will be just thrilled as you move those
    range out into the middle of the floor so you can unhook it to hook
    in the cable going to your charger and then run that cable through
    the house, and let's not forget you will be unable to close the
    door or window you're going to feed that cable through. Then in the
    morning, you get to get up early and put it all back, or it's going
    to be a cold breakfast because the range isn't hooked up.

    Any other stupidity you would like to display?

    What makes you think that because it's the same TYPE of plug you'd
    use for a stove, that I'm suggesting you use the same physcal OUTLET
    for both purposes?

    To do otherwise would violate the NEC 210.23 the only exception would
    be to unplug one appliance to plug in another NEC 210.23C

    Are you suggesting a house can't have more than one outlet of the type
    necessary to plug in an electric stove?

    No, but EACH one will require an INDIVIDUAL cable be run to the breaker
    box.

    So if you want to install a new outlet as you suggest.. you have to run
    a NEW line for it. You can NOT tap into an existing line. It's Code violation.

    And where did I ever suggest such a tap, drunkard?


    I'm pointing out that this is basic wiring that any competent
    electrician can complete.

    If they were competent they would turn you down flat.

    Why?

    See below

    It doesn't require special skills or special permits.

    No, just risking their license and a boat load of liability.


    Crickets


    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range
    [or a Level 2 EV charger] is not really any harder than wiring a
    standard outlet, but it can cost more because the electrician may
    need to run conduit, reorganize circuit breakers in the main panel,
    or install a new circuit breaker. The electrician will price his
    work according to the length of cable that needs to be run and the
    amount of labor time he anticipates.

    Average costs for a journeyman electrician to install a 220/240-volt
    outlet is about $300.'

    <https://www.thespruce.com/electrical-project-costs-1152463>

    A low power outlet or switch is a far different thing than a high
    powered load run to the other end of the house.

    That is specifically talking about a high-powered load run.

    Nope.. light switch or 15amp outlet which can be typically tied into an existing lighting or outlet circuit in the immediate are.

    Yup. It is what was specifically said:

    'Wiring a 220/240 volt outlet for an electric clothes dryer or range [or
    a Level 2 EV charger] is not really any harder than wiring a standard
    outlet'




    What you are talking about requires a run ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE
    BREAKER BOX... that is significantly different.

    Any new outlet could require that, drunkard.


    Further I would note that such an installation would NOT be suitable for
    a long term high draw system such as a level one charger. Unless you
    like the breaker tripping all the time.

    The breaker would trip if it and the line were not appropriately
    designed for the load...

    ...which of course, they would be.

    I'm not talking about patching into an accessible branch or lighting
    circuit

    But your source is, whether you know it or not.

    Quote that portion.

    I dare you.



    See, this is the whole problem.. the people like you are pushing this
    thing, even though you have absolutely NO clue of what it will actually involve.. yet you think you know enough to force it on everyone else.


    What you want, however is going to require a run ALL THE WAY TO THE
    MAIN BREAKER BOX WITH A HEAVY GAUGE CABLE.

    Which is precisely what was being discussed in my quote.

    No, it's not.

    Yes... ...it really is.


    "fishing new cable to a power source,"

    Which is in a totally different segment:

    'Installing a New Outlet or Switch'

    As oppose to the segment entitled:

    'Installing a 220/240-Volt Outlet'

    Or was the "04 of 12" vs "05 of 12" too hard for you to parse?


    What that means is finding a local lighting or branch circuit you can
    tap into.. NOT necessarily running a line back to the breaker box.

    Which is not what the section, "Installing a 220/240-Volt Outlet" ever suggested.



    Apples and Oranges.

    Sober up.

    Educate yourself.

    "Installing a 220/240-Volt Outlet"


    'The cost to run electricity to a shed, garage, or shop is $10 to
    $25 per linear foot or $500 to $3,800 on average for 50 to 150 feet
    of underground line.'

    <https://homeguide.com/costs/cost-to-run-electric-to-garage-shed-or-shop> >>>
    Again.. a low power feeder hooked into an accessible 15-20a branch
    circuit.

    Nope. Were do you get this straw man from?

    Because it doesn't factor in the cost of the home run, nor does it
    factor in a high capacity load.

    That is merely the cost to run the wire from the house to the shed..
    does NOTHING for hooking it up or doing any electrical work inside the
    shed.

    If you looked further down you would see

    So your numbers are bullshit.

    No, my number are reality. Now if you want to install a 120V 5amp
    charger.. that could be done for the prices you're talking about.
    Anything more than that.. and your price is going to go up.. a lot.

    Why?

    Because that's all you could add to an existing lighting or branch
    circuit without excessive nuisance trips.

    Except none of the actual information I cited contemplates adding to an existing single-phase circuit...

    ...which would be idiotic for a 2-phase 240/220 circuit.


    My examples specifically talk about installing a circuit and
    receptacle of the kind necessary to carry the loads under discussion.

    Oh, ok.. then let's run the numbers from your site.

    "An electric car charging station costs $750 to $2,600, including a
    Level 2 charger, 240V outlet, wiring, and wall mounting."

    Which link is that from?



    "Main panel size – Homes with less than 200-amp service typically
    require an upgrade to run electricity to a shed or garage.
    The cost to replace an electrical panel is $1,400 to $2,800 to upgrade
    from a 100-amp to a 200-amp panel."

    "Labor – Hiring an electrician costs $50 to $130 per hour, plus a $100
    to $200 call-out fee, which typically covers the first hour."

    "Materials – The panel's amperage and distance from the shed or garage determine the wire size needed.
    Electrical wiring costs $0.10 to $4.00 per linear foot for the material alone, depending on the type and gauge."

    Materials should be factored into the main cost above, but I included it
    for those unusual circumstances where a longer than typical run might be required.

    You're assuming that all of those numbers are separate, independent charges.

    "An electric car charging station costs $750 to $2,600, including a
    Level 2 charger, 240V outlet, wiring, and wall mounting."

    That seems to include the cost of the electrician and the materials.


    Now some of those charges overlap and it all assumes an electrical
    system of fairly recent vintage. It also depends on where you are
    located as rates vary wildly by where you are.

    They're all plucked from different sources and they MASSIVELY overlap.


    Now a lot of older homes come with a 100A-150A service. Meaning they are going to need an electrical panel upgrade before you can even think of a
    lvl 2 charger.

    Or they just need a second panel installed downstream of the main house breaker. No need to change the main panel beyond fitting it with an appropriately sized breaker on the circuit for the pony panel.

    There are literally DOZENS of references to how to do this.


    And all of those pre-supposes a garage to put it in. You could install
    it outside, that that presupposes a drive way. and adds a lot of other factors to the decisions, Such as a weather tight charger is going to
    cost you more than one you would install in an interior location, risk
    of damage or vandalism, weathering issues. etc.

    So it presupposes a garage OR a driveway.

    Lots of homes have garages or driveways.


    Plus if you do a main panel upgrade you may have to vacate your home
    during the process as the power will be turned off for the whole time.

    Assuming a main panel upgrade that won't necessarily be needed...

    ...and a "whole time" consisting of an afternoon for a qualified
    electrician.


    To suggest it will be simple and cheap is to ignore the large number of
    homes for which this is NOT true. About the only time it would be cheap
    and quick is if you have a 200A panel located in the garage. Otherwise

    Why would you need a 200A panel to supply a Level 2 charger?

    it's crap shoot just how expensive it will be, but basically the older
    the home and the further from the garage the breaker panel is.. the more likely that price will increase sometimes drastically. Because while the panel swap can be relatively straight forward.. when isn't really
    considered is that ALL the wiring MUST be brought into compliance with
    the current code book. Which means if you have three way switches
    without a neutral, you may have to run those.. If you have 2 prong
    outlets without a ground.. you will need to run a ground. You will also
    have to change all those outlets. In short, you will have to bring the
    whole home into modern code compliance. That can be an expensive bill
    unless your home is fairly new.

    More and more edge cases.

    Admit that there are LOTS of homes for which none of that is needed.


    let's just say, you have little to no idea of what it would actually
    take, and you think because you've seen a few posts on the internet that makes you knowledgeable about the field or that you can even recognize
    the assumptions being made within those posts.

    Hell, you don't even know enough to realize you can't simply daisy chain another plug with your stove or drier plug. So how can you possibly intelligently debate the costs and factors that would go into actually installing a level 2 charger in the wide variety of homes that are out
    there. I know a neighbor that still uses the original 60A fuse based
    panel, with 2 wire outlet w/o a ground.


    No one in this thread ever suggested "daisy chaining" anything, liar.

    Good luck bring that home into compliance to upgrade to a 200A service
    panel.

    But what is the SERVICE to his home?

    I'm betting it's a lot more than 60A.

    <crickets>

    Indeed until about the mid 2000s were 200A panels largely standard in

    Are you going to build a whole new free standard garage for your EV car?

    What's the cost of THAT going to be, assuming zoning ordinances will even
    allow it?


    You get that that can be done, right?

    Nope. You can only have one meter on a residential structure since you
    can only have one means of power disconnect. So you would have to build a
    whole second building to hold both the meter and the charger. How much do
    you suppose that will cost?


    The average age of a home in the US is 46 years old with New York
    being at 63 years old. So are there a lot of old homes that don't

    So install a secondary panel.

    Building another stand alone garage?


    You don't have to have another building to have a secondary panel.

    Except you're not adding a secondary panel. A secondary panel is one that is connected to the primary panel, and in this case, we've already established that the primary panel is incapable of carrying that load,

    What you are doing is adding a second primary panel which as to go on it's

    So, yes, if you want to add another meter, and thus a second primary panel,

    So why are you insisting that they are merely "edge cases"?

    Given the average age of homes.. there is a MASSIVE number of your so called "edge cases".

    meanwhile given the average age of a home.. there are a LOT of these

    <crickets>

    Something you continue to refuse to accept as proven by your denial of

    You continue to refuse to post an figures to back up your bullshit.

    Why should I? Unless you're willing to do the same, which you've shown time
    and time again that you aren't, why should I go to the effort which YOU
    refuse to even consider?

    You are the one claiming there are only a few 'edge cases', therefore it's
    up to you to show this is the case. I've already produced strong evidence to show otherwise. ie average home edge.

    Think about it. With an average age of 43 years, that means there could be a home that is 86 years old for even home built this year, or 2 homes that are
    64 years old and so one. That means there are a lot of old homes, and even a
    43 year old home (median) would face numerous issues with such an upgrade as virtually ALL of them would have panels of less than 200A capacity. Indeed
    the typical panel size around that time would be a 125A which isn't
    adequate. So right off they would also need a server panel upgrade. Luckily
    for them there isn't to much wrong that would require upgrades other than
    every single 3 way lighting would need new electrical cables run as the NEC
    now requires that all switch boxes have a neutral and generally during that
    era that wasn't done with 3 way switches. Then you're going to need to run
    new cables to the drive, stove and any other high power device as 3 wire 120/240 is no longer allowed and you must run a 4 wire cable. then of
    course, you will have to change the receptacle to a 4 wire, which means you will need to change the service lead to a 4 wire.
    Starting to get the idea? I doubt it, because you don't know shit about this stuff... and you don’t care. You have an opinion and that's good enough..
    for you.

    Well guess what, the local inspectors and government agencies don't fucking care about your opinion. They DO care that work is in compliance with the
    NEC and local codes and that means if you fuck with anything upstream of a device be it a sub panel, main panel, or even running a new electrical cable then IT and everything hooked to it MUST be brought into compliance with currently electrical code.

    You can't just slap something in and declare it's 'good enough'. no.. it and everything connected to it has to be approved, inspected, and passed for the CURRENT electrical code.

    Something you UTTERLY ignore, and continue to IGNORE.


    That's why number you see online are based on a LOT of assumptions and >>>> while they might be typical for most people.. a whole lot of other

    Then why did you bring up the topic, and continue to push it in the face

    What topic did I bring up?

    Apparently you don't even remember what you're talking about. So let's just
    say the topic is the depth of your stupidity and ignorance.

    I mean since you don't remember, that's as good a subject as any, and more
    more descriptive of your comments.

    overwhelmingly they are solidly based on the NEC and is generally the
    basis of any discussion of electrical installation and general cost
    estimates where the specific particulars are unknown.. such as a
    conversation in usenet about installing a high draw EV charger.

    Ok, what has changed?


    The simple fact is that there are high draw EV chargers that can be
    plugged in to the same KIND of receptacle as an electric stove or
    electric
    clothes dryer.

    Sure... if you want to run a cord through the house and out to where
    it's
    needed, and you don't mind having to go behind the stove or drier to
    plug
    and unplug things each time you need to switch.

    Do you always post when you're drunk?

    Let facing facts he can't contest Alan resorts to inventing excuses to
    accept his delusions instead.


    Where have I ever suggest that you would use ONE receptacle for both
    purposes.

    Because you have to?

    otherwise it's a code violation.


    Please cite that code...

    ...or admit you're just a drunk liar.



    What I've pointed out that it is a very standard kind of installation
    for an electrician to complete.

    Not really, generally electricians aren't generally called to run a major
    power line until there is an extensive remodel going on.

    A single circuit for a 240/220 receptacle isn't a "major power line".


    The costs to install such a receptacle are readily available and I'm >>>>> sorry, but it is NOT NEAR the numbers you've been bullshitting.

    Sure, and when you stop looking at the costs for homes under

    then you might have a clear idea of just how expensive that will be to >>>> do.

    Free hint: It's very easy to add such things to a home while it is

    that much draw much less whether the main electrical panel will even

    adding such a line.

    Instead, you just wave your hands in the air and tell people to "do

    if that will somehow alter the reality.

    Hell, you don’t even know the NEC requirements, but somehow you think >>>> you're
    qualified to know how much it will cost to add to an existing system.

    Yes, you produced numbers but unless you're talking a home still in the >>>> early stages of construction.. those numbers don't mean shit.

    Now you're just lying.

    And when confronted with facts he can't contest Alan resorts to simple
    denial as if that is going to alter reality.

    I posted from a site that specifically cited numbers for post-construction upgrades




    I gave you a website that explicitly gave costs for installation on an
    existing home.

    Yea.. for a light switch or a standard duplex receptacle.

    Now you're lying again.


    Adding a dedicated 40/50A 240v line is a whole different proposition
    particularly in an occupied building.

    No. It really isn't.

    Good then you can become an electrician and take on all those jobs that
    every other electrician charges more for...

    OTOH, maybe it's a load of old baloney.

    I have never said a single thing about anyone doing anything because
    they "MUST".

    I have rebutted your bullshit claims about the cost of installing a
    simple electrical circuit.

    'Average Cost for a Home EV Charger and Installation

    The average cost to have an EV charger installed at your home is around
    $2,200. This cost will include the installation labor cost of hiring a
    licensed electrician to handle the wiring project. The cost of the
    electric wire and connectors to support a 50-amp 240V line, as well as
    the level-2 charging unit. All local permits and inspections as needed,
    and complete cleanup of the work area once the installation is
    completed. Note: This cost does not include any type of solar charging features.'

    <https://www.costimates.com/costs/electricity-outlets/ev-charger-station/>

    That's a far cry from your claims of $10,000...
