Hello,
I would like to install a 40 amp EVSE on the outside of our garage, immediately next to our main panel and meter. We have 200 amp service. The main panel has two 100 amp breakers. Each feeds a sub panel - one in the garage and the other farther into the house. The garage sub panel has a slot for a new breaker and could accommodate a new dedicated 50 amp circuit for the EV. Connecting to the garage sub panel will require a 25+' conduit run, however.
Is there a simple way to power the EVSE from the main/meter which is immediately adjacent? This would avoid the costly conduit run to the garage sub breaker. Note that the main panel doesn't have any open slots. The two slots are filled with breakers that feed the two sub panels.
Tx!
