It’s a safe route. I did the same when I wired our Tesla a couple of years ago - fed 100amp circuit to the charger which is hard wired for future charging of multiple cars on the side of the house. In the garage though I just wired the circuits for 50amp as the garage feed is only 80amps and we don’t charge both cars in the garage at the same time.
Just spoke with my electrician and are going to throw up a sub panel in the garage as well. I've seen a clipper creek 100amp charger and of course the PMCC; what did you go with?
You can for sure save some money using 3rd party. Granted the PMCC comes with the car but if you want to keep that in the car for travel use, buying a 3rd party option for the home is a money saver. But remember too your car can only charge so fast so doesn’t matter how fast the plug can feed it.
Basically the same plug used by your dryer. Easily installed in the garage. The large pretty unit you see in the ads is great and the whole installation in my garage which requires a bit of a electrical line run was $800.
I'm not familiar with the Clipper Creek product line but anything that's capable of feeding 100amps as the comment suggested is not going to use a dryer plug... depending on the plug those are for 30amp (NEMA 14-30), 50amp (NEMA 14-50), or maybe 60amp (NEMA 14-60). 100amp would be hard wired.
Dengarden.com has a good tutorial on electrical protocols as in AC DC, voltage, wattage, etc.
Thanks but I do my own wiring. I'm quite familiar with wiring and electrical code requirements. I'm making sure no one who reads a thread later thinks you can run a 100amp device on a dryer plug - it's not allowed nor safe. The plug is rated for either 30, 50, or 60 amps depending on what plug you're talking about.
