  • I just scheduled an electrician to install a ChargePoint HomeFlex charger. I said I wanted the max amps that the unit could handle and he said he’s been doing that for a lot of EV chargers lately so he goes with 6 gauge. Will be able to deliver at least 40 amps. My barn, where I garage, is already wired for 100 amps. Charger was $550, installation w/b $750, rebate from utility s/b $700. Hard wired is safer, fewer resistance points, and my utility gives a discount for off-peak charging if it’s a hard-wired, Wi-Fi compatible unit (they can tell, via app, that the juice is going to my car). My Polestar came with cable that has L1 and L2 adapters. I’ve used both. They’ll live in the frunk 99.99%…time once my L2 garage charger is up and running.
