Looks good enough, although you may want to use 2 hole pvc straps instead of those 1 hole emt metal straps for cord support , as the metal will eventually cut into the cord.Awesome, thank you.

RP mostly with your positive experience in mind I finished up installing a new circuit and went ahead and got the Morec unit. Amazon.ca currently has a $50 off coupon.
It does seem well made, but I have a question. What is the input voltage rating on the back of your unit? On mine it indicates its 230V 50Hz which makes me wonder if it has both 50 + 60 Hz dual frequency compatibility. It powers up fine with no errors but it's screen indicates 239 volts when my multimeter tells me its really 244 volts nominal input. Unfortunately I can't do an actual plug in without my imaginary yet to be built Kona.

looks like the same one i got from amazon, mine is aCool i got mine too, not setup yet.
Where did you get the outlet box for it?
Yes, I figured that might be a problem and was I just going to wrap the conduit straps in black tape but wouldn't you know it that I couldn't find a roll for the life of me and I must have gazillions lying aroundLooks good enough, although you may want to use 2 hole pvc straps instead of those 1 hole emt metal straps for cord support , as the metal will eventually cut into the cord.![]()

Installed my electric car holster plug holder dock today from Amazon. At 13 bux cdn, i thoight it was a good deal
Nice to have a spot to put it and get rid of that cap.
you know you probably could have went with a 32 amp and just put in a 40 amp breaker, it all depends on actual load. i have a 100 amp panel an have no issues, but i also dont try to run everything all at the same timeI went with a 26 amp Mustart Charger. I only got a 150 amp panel and the 26 amp charger is on a 30 amp circuit. Installed the outlet right beside the panel myself in 40 minutes. Total cost under $400. I didn't care for Wifi ebabled charger as I can control the charging remotely anyways with the bluelink app.

I may have been ok with the 32 amp charger anyways.. However, I believe that according to code, you can't have a NEMA14-50 outlet on a 40 amp breaker.. It must have a 50 amp breaker. The difference in charging speed is relatively small. The 26 amp charger is plenty to get my charged up over night especially as I usually only charge to 80 percent unless I plan a longer trip. If I will ever need a little faster charging speed, I'll just change out the NEMA 10-30 to a 14-50 and buy the 32 amp version of the charger. So far, I'm happy with the MUSTART charger.. It was cheap and works flawless..you know you probably could have went with a 32 amp and just put in a 40 amp breaker, it all depends on actual load. i have a 100 amp panel an have no issues, but i also dont try to run everything all at the same time
My charger uses a 30 amp dryer type outlet too NEMA 10-30.. It is 26 amps and charges at 6.1 kwh.. 11 hours for a full charge.I got one that plugs into my dryer outlet. Not the most powerful but does the job and I didn’t have to install anything extra. CoMes with up to 50ft cord. Takes 12-15 hours to charge but that works for me.

The wire will handle 26A all day , the breaker won't. Will eventually wear out the overload portion of the breaker-hopefully
I would assume then that you ran #8(50A) wire thru that 1/2" pvc 90 (tight fit)The charger I have plugs into NEMA 10-30 and to-30 is a 30 amp outlet. Never tripped the breaker.. If it ever does, I'll go with a 40 amp breaker.. 5 mins work to swap it out..
I believe that it is #8 wire.. I actually used the individual red, black and white wires themselves as I didn't need the ground wire as the NEMA 10-30 does not use a ground wire. The entire #8 wire by itself would not have fit through the 1/2 inch conduit but the individual 3 wires did. I will upgrade the breaker to 40 amps..I would assume then that you ran #8(50A) wire thru that 1/2" pvc 90 (tight fit)
The load is considered as continuous as your NEC 625.41 states:
https://iaeimagazine.org/magazine/2016/07/19/100-vs-80-choosing-the-right-ocpd-solution/
In Canada a continuous load is one that draws for more than 1 hour in a 2 hour period, in the States it is considered continuous if draws 3 hours or more.
When sizing a supply circuit for an EVSE, the proper method is to take its maximum rating and multiply it by 1.25 to size the over current device and wire accordingly.
Example- 32 A EVSE @240V
32*1.25=40
So this EVSE should be fed with #8<50 A> wire on a 2P 40 A breaker for maximum protection even though you could still use Table 13 value and feed it with a 2P 50A breaker for minimum protection.
If your EVSE is rated at 26A then
26*1.25=32.5A - The breaker should be 40A and the wire #8<50>
(Branch circuits) - without EVMS . Only pure resistive loads can have the wire rating less than the O/C device CEC 24th edition 2018 Rule #62-114 sub-rule 8
and of course welders and motors, single phase (all types)motors where the wire is 1.25*FLA and go up, and using a breaker for O/C 2.5*FLA and go down as per T29
Arc welders wire depending on duty cycle and O/C = 2X rated primary current max.
EVSE demand factors may be reduced for feeders and services by utilizing T38
or by using EVMS, 8-106 Subrule 10 and 11 (new 2018)
cool! did you download the specs for the holster or did you design it yourself?I also went with a Morec Level 2 32A charger. I printed my own holster. Just had the electrical run on Saturday from the far side of my house, now have to wait another 11 days for the car.
