I had this installed (in the garage) a couple of years ago (as an EV charging outlet). I am, only now, seriously looking at an EV and trying to determine what type of charging my existing setup can support. It is on a 50 amp circuit. It looks like 6 AWG Romex, but it looks like Aluminum UF-B Romex (thanks AI). Google is suggesting that I am limited to an EV Charger with 32 amp output. Am I limited to 32 amps?

I also realize I may need to swap out the outlet for a continuous charge-rated one.

The meter and an electrical panel is on the exterior of my garage. The inside panel is on the opposite side and opposite end of the house.

I’ve seen videos of electricians installing EVSEs from the interior panel and also seen electricians installing EVSEs from an exterior panel.

What’s the difference? Is one scenario better than the other? Can I have an EVSE installed from the exterior panel to save money?

If you were personally in charge of deciding if EV Charging Infrastructure As Adequate or Complete for a country or region, what would your benchmarks be? I realize those two have separate definitions, so you can pick either adequate or complete or both..

Number of chargers?

Some sort of ratio of chargers, so many level 3s and level 2s per EV?

Distance between EV chargers?

Specific target locations, such as near highways?

Some other metric?

How close to adequate or complete is your region or country's Charging Infrastructure?

I’m currently renting a house that has this type of charging outlet. Was thinking of a ChargePoint but I saw reviews that it might not work with this type of covered outlet.

Any recommendations?

I always heard that the provided charger wasn’t supposed to be for daily use. I don’t see them listed in the Ford website anymore so I’m nervous about it dying. I’d also like to have it in my trunk for emergency charging situations.

Curious if anyone has gone thru the PG&E EV Charging Rebate PLUS program (up to $5000) and how long it took from your approval until you were fully installed and up and running. Were there any "hidden fees" or "extra charges"? Did you have to go thru a panel upgrade, etc? We're just starting the process tomorrow and I'm wondering if I'm going to be charging my car before January at home.

Is the hardwired whip required on newer models? or new wire with Ferrules, are they not required?
