Hi Sacamano, I am moving to a distributor business model as described here on my website page. Smart Power splitter for level 2 charging access — EV - PowerShare Thus I have stopped selling directly due to agreement with my reseller. We are looking at finalizing everything and coming back...

A pig tail cord, couple of outlets, a breaker built-in, and very occasionally a meter are all common standards for power strips. Everyone has those at home. It’s a no-brainer. Thus I am not going to take credit for being the “first” to have a breaker build into the power splitter, nor call...

Interesting that Brad Apelgren felt that his relevant information is to accuse me of copying his product. Normally I don’t find the need to respond to a competitor, but since Brad personally called me out and talked like he owns this whole idea, then I will share some relevant information too...

We have similar functions, so it's hard to get away from 2 sockets and a LED. However we have our own patents and internal is circuit is of our own industrial design. it's actually very different inside and out.

yeah you are right, looks like this is what happens when I copy the link from a facebook post, and there is no way to fix the link now.

Hi Folks, For anyone looking to share their dryer circuit with their Tesla UMC, please check out a new solution that we have worked on called Ev-Powershare (EVPS) EVPS is for EV owners whom have a dryer or any 240V appliance in their garage, enabling them to share that circuit with their...

pretty damn good job with that little hut for the EVSE.

does your extension cord have 3 prone, e.g. has a ground?

it's a logical and easy deduction, but no one can be absolutely sure except for the home owner. Older houses typically have 100 amp service. And it is nearly impossible to double their service to 200amps if it's underground, as it cost insane amount to pull an extra wire.

Because we live in the same city, with houses around the same age? Your house is built in 2014, that out the context of this thread. Not sure what you are trying imply here.

If you have TOU rates, you should save money. Run your pool during the day while you have solar, before 3pm. Then charge your car after mid night. You should be using the lowest rate all day, except for cooking.

Should be able to. However if someone is updating the panel, might as well see if they can increase services. If you get power from an overhead power line, you are in luck, you can easily double your service to 200amps. If you have buried power line, good luck, at best you can go is from 100...

Learning new things every day here. I heard about these faulty panels, and they sure look similar to the description. BREAKING UP WITH YOUR ZINSCO ELECTRICAL PANEL: IT’S NOT ME, IT’S YOU

Agree exactly. upgrading a panel will easily run you over $2400 in San Jose CA, but there is little reason for you to do so since there is a dryer outlet ready to use. You didn't mention if you are still using an electric dryer, if yes, this is a EVPS is a good option for you...

A nema 10-30 on a 10 gauge wire charging at 24amps will eventually get a little warm, but not hot to the touch. It is normal.

Fair, you are entitled to your opinion. Though all these companies that are selling NEMA 10-30 to NEMA 14-50 adapters would say different. Amazon.com: nema 10-30 to 14-50 adapter They likely even have UL certification. Knowledgeable consumers are the ones to benefit from these type of adapters.

Not sure why you are so triggered over the decision to make the EV socket NEMA 14-50. It absolutely saves the owner from having to buy another... adapter. It's cleaner too for someone who's not using a tesla EVSE, why on earth would someone wants to daisy chain adapters, when they can just...

BTW, for anyone who doesn't want to stomach the shocking price of a panel upgrade, and want a safe alternative. Check out www.ev-powershare.com With built in over-current protection at 25 amps, and auto switching, it is very fool prof. Once you set your car to 24 amps, you can forget about...

wow some people's highest rate is cheaper than my cheapest off peak rate... And free night charging!!! Wow.. That's just unheard off. I have an EVPS that tells me how much energy I use each month, but probably an overkill for most folks.

you can try it with another plug in your house. Are you pressing on the Tesla logo on the plug? or the glowing tesla on the charger itself?

Yoshi, try this if you have a dryer in your garage already. EV - PowerShare

Yep What he said. Your wires in that wall is probably burning hot.

Steve, if you already have a dryer in the garage, you may want to consider this. EV - PowerShare Can be a cheaper solution especially if a panel upgrade is needed.

I have a 100 feet 240V run from one end of garage to another, charging at 24 amps from a dryer socket. It's totally fine. The wire gets a little warm as it should, but not hotter than the wires on the Tesla mobile charger.

Actually it does auto switch, AND it's limiting maximum current to a safe 24AMPs. sounds like a fool proof concept.

BTW, for anyone who has a dryer in their garage, they could consider something like this Our products — EV - PowerShare Avoid the hassle of dealing with electrician and permits all together.

Was getting quotes for $2500 because panel is full, and had to be upgraded

For those who does 120v charging with 30+ miles commute. Do you not have time of the day electric rates? If I want to charge at the lowest rates, I only have 7 hrs, from 12am- 7am before I need to use the car again. Which means I can charge 28 miles a day or I will fall behind. A lot of mental...

Yep, I like the design for some reason. Don’t find it ugly at all, but extremely edgy, no pun in tended. I would get this over some comfy, round looking truck in a heartbeat.

has anyone received the dryer buddy in 2019? My order is over 60 days, and still have not received anything. He doesn't return any emails neither.

I just called my bank and had them reverse the check bounce charge. Pretty easy. The bank also accepted the legal tender ( the rejection mail of your check, where it has a picture of the old check) and will deposit legal tender again. My bank said that if the release on the PGE account is...

Got off the phone with PGE rep, since I still have the check ( I tried to deposit via banking app), they say it should clear after Feb 4th.
