Hi, first post. I pick up my Model Y on Tuesday.
My previous EV had the ability to set the maximum amps for charging in the car's menu. My Tesla advisor tells me this isn't an option with the Y. The setup I have is 50 amps available with this circuit split between two sockets. 24 of those amps are being used on one socket 24/7 for cryptocurrency mining equipment. The other socket is used to charge my current EV, I set the maximum charging rate at 15 amps (in the car's charge setting menu). Combined, it's a safe maximum of 39 amps being drawn from the 50 amp circuit. Since I don't have the ability to set charging amps in the Y - what are my options? The EVSE I currently have is a clipper creek 30 amp unit. It's pretty much a given, that I'd trip the 50 amp breaker as soon as I plug in the Tesla.
I guess one option is using the 5-20 plug that's supplied with the car + a NEMA 14-50 adapter. Any other ideas?
Thanks.
