Reply to comment by nocturnal311 in Wiring EV Charger by Loon610

It's true throwing suggestion out is free.. it totally depends on OP's situation and plan.

I am suggesting based on how I would plan it. Disconnect can be handy when you found the plug damage / arcing but breaker did not trip. Think drive out with the cable plugged in.

Or if OP ever decided to use his EV as backup battery for the house, then a shutoff can become something that is more necessary..

The sub panel is also situational.. a small subpanel can be not too pricy - small ones can be have for between $30~50. If there is possibilities of expansion this can totally be a choice

Please tell me where I can get sub panels at that price. Anything in Canada is at least $150.

This is one example. I know homeline is annoying but at this price.. I won't complain

I don't know if your local code allows this though.. no idea about Canada's rule

Ok, not that bad. Only 4x the price at $104 in Canuck bucks! I was off on my guesstimating. :)

Ouch.. sorry to hear that.

If you look at similar items on that page there is a long list of similar priced breaker boxes.

Just throwing a bit more lead, hopefully some of them can be sourced near you with more reasonable price…
