I've got an extra L2 station I should probably should sell (actually two of them, a Schneider and a CC, both 32A) but I was thinking about putting one of them in my vacation rental. I figured it might add appeal to eco tourists, serve the EV community and maybe get me a bit more revenue in the process. I'm pretty sure it won't work though, here are the deets:
3BR/3BA
100A service
No A/C (condensing gas furnace 120V)
gas range
gas water heater
almost all lighting is LED
newer fridge, energy star whatever
Heavy hitters:
Electric dryer
Hot tub (specs say 30/50 amp service, need to investigate if that is configurable, it's currently on a 40A breaker)
there's also an 1100w aux heater downstairs
If the EVSE pulled 32 + 30 for the dryer and 30 for the hot tub there isn't much of a margin left. Making the dryer and the EVSE exclusive might make it possible I suppose, but the dryer isn't in the garage. A 16A EVSE might work but I don't really want to buy anything new, as there is very low confidence anyone will be interested in renting the place for this... also wondering if that would even be enough to satisfy an eco-tourist EV traveler, which would probably be in a Tesla.
