I've somehow fit 2 40A chargers, a hot tub, central A/C, and the normal large house setuff into our 200A service... Would have cost an arm and a leg to get me up to 400A and luckily the load calc worked out.Contractor who built our house had a demand load of about 190A which just barely fit into a 200A service (no gas service, all electric). We upgraded from 200A to 400A immediately after moving in (that wasn't a cheap project; thankfully no transformer work, but our utility requires using a CT cabinet for metering starting at 400A and we had to upgrade the lines). So yeah, we could probably spare the amps for a bigger charger, but I'll settle for 2x 48A EVSEs load sharing a 60A circuit to make sure we can also have that 50A hot tub we're looking at.
