easy peezy as long as you know how to turn off your circuit breaker.How easy would it be to replace a Tesla Wall Charger (hardwired) with one of these guys? For someone who typically doesn't mess with electricity.
Now THAT I can do! I read the guide (honestly, Rivian could publish just about any piece of information and I'd read it) and it looked.... very easy. Just wanted to make sure it was as easy as it looked. Thank you!easy peezy as long as you know how to turn off your circuit breaker.
Not difficult but if you are not familiar with doing electrical fixtures may not want to start here.How easy would it be to replace a Tesla Wall Charger (hardwired) with one of these guys? For someone who typically doesn't mess with electricity.
6 awg is fine as long as it is 90° ratedInteresting that they suggest 6 awg wire is sufficient for the full 60A circuit setting, I guess since it only pulls 48A that is ok? I was under the impression that a 60A circuit would need 4 awg wiring.
It's a 60A breaker so I believe I'd be leaving it at the default settings on the dip switches.Not difficult but if you are not familiar with doing electrical fixtures may not want to start here.
With the amount of amps being pulled if the wires are not seated and torqued properly they could generate excessive heat. You also have to look at the wires and breakers installed to ensure you set the dip switches for the proper draw.
The portable one that comes with the vehicle will be plug and cord. The wall charger will be hardwire.I thought their charger was Nema 14-50 or Hardwired. These docs say hardwired only or am I wrong? That sucks
Like said before, do not start here. High Amps can be a major fire hazard if you don't tighten thing down and strip wires wrong.How easy would it be to replace a Tesla Wall Charger (hardwired) with one of these guys? For someone who typically doesn't mess with electricity.
simply apply money - call an electrician!How easy would it be to replace a Tesla Wall Charger (hardwired) with one of these guys? For someone who typically doesn't mess with electricity.
I am going with the higher capacity wire. No need to stress the wiring.Interesting that they suggest 6 awg wire is sufficient for the full 60A circuit setting, I guess since it only pulls 48A that is ok? I was under the impression that a 60A circuit would need 4 awg wiring.
