As an Electrician I'm looking forward to it for how much work it will generate (no pun intended). Ever notice there are at most 6-8 charging stations at a location? Partially because of demand but mainly because that building and all the other buildings do not have the electrical capacity to have more stations. It will be a huge undertaking to increase capacity. California now has rolling blackouts during the summer guess what happens when all the commuter cars plug-in at 6PM?
I think you’ll be busy. We live in a Townhouse so we had both our 14-50 plug and our hardwired 12 amp 240 station installed by a qualified electrician like yourself. He did a great job, was reasonable priced and now we recommend them to all the new EV owners we come in contact with in our town. I would say about half of the new owners just stay with 120 volts from a normal 15 amp socket. For many that’s all they need as they are just commuting. We did that for a few years. But now we make unexpected longer trips and a full overnight charge is handy if headed out for a longer trip the next day.
Hope you make lots of money.
Cheers.
