    What the hell are you talking about ? I did it myself for 400€ in less than an hour.

    Don’t install a super fast charger at home. It’s a) useless and b) not good for your EV’s batteries. Install a 32a charger.

      In the US we have building codes, permits, and inspections. While possible to upgrade the service to your house as a home owner it cannot be done quickly. It would be at least 2+ days with the power out if you can line up the power company and inspector properly.

      I am only going to install a 32A charger. I need more service to my house to support it, 100A currently. I need a larger panel as I have no breaker space and I need the new circuit run ~150 ft away.

      Please don’t burn down your neighbors house. Less than an hour sounds like you cut corners.

      Also, it’s insane to say it’s useless. Do you even know what that word means?
