Thank you so much for the advice. One question though, what is the Tesla adapter for? I thought only Teslas can use a Tesla charging station. Excuse me if its something simple, but I'm new to the EV world.
GM has unfortunately partnered and testing Plug-and-charge with EVgo, it’s functional for the Bolts and I think HummerEV.…and now GM I think (maybe Ford) is doing something similiar with Electrify America. Just plug in and charge.
The J1772 spec maxes out at 80 amps ( 19.2kW at 240V ), which would require a dedicated 100 amp breaker in the service panel and appropriate sized wiring. 30kW is DC fast charger territory, which is cost prohibitive for home install at this point. I would love to see Solar DC direct to CCS DC units, but as far as I know such a thing is not commercially available off the shelf.you’re putting in new lines then sure, go ahead and do a 20 kW, but I wouldn’t bother with more than 30kW
Keep in mind even a Hummer EV is hardware limited to 48A right now … and it’s unclear if 80A charging on future Hummer EV’s will require the specialized PowerStation.The J1772 spec maxes out at 80 amps ( 19.2kW at 240V ), which would require a dedicated 100 amp breaker in the service panel and appropriate sized wiring. 30kW is DC fast charger territory, which is cost prohibitive for home install at this point.

I agree that a NEMA 14-50 (aka "dryer plug") and removable EVSE set to 40 amps (9.6kW) would fit almost everyone's use case for overnight charging just fine, even on a thirsty EV truck.
