I live in a townhouse style condo with an attached garage and am expecting to take delivery sometime next month. My electric service is 100 amps. I have natural gas heat, with a gas stove/oven and gas dryer and gas hot water heater. My air conditioner runs on a 30 amp circuit. Other major appliances are refrigerator and microwave and dishwasher.
I asked my Tesla-recommended electrician if he recommends me installing a 30 amp outlet or a 50 amp outlet (typically, I drive about 40 miles/day). He told me I should be fine having a NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50 amp circuit installed since I have gas heat and hot water, etc. the installation was completed a few days ago.
I can't help but be concerned about the amount of power being drawn in the summer with my air conditioning running and my car charging. Should I be concerned, or am I worrying about this for nothing??
