The short answer is YES! You can charge two EVs at the same time from the same 40A outlet with a 50A breaker space… and you can purchase a charger that does this + bundle the installation through Lectrium.
There are plenty of commercial options for a double-port EV charger, but not so much for residential customers. If you and your family members are the only users of the charger and you do not need to collect money from those that use the charger - you do not need a commercial double-port EV charger. You need something simpler. We recommend ordering Grizzl-E Duo.
Here is what it looks like and its key features:
Different EV chargers handle this equation differently. The Grizzl-E Duo charger has 40A of total power supply, and when charging two EVs, this charger will split the power 50/50.
Yes! This is possible not only from the same charger but from the same charger at the same time.
With the Grizzl-E Duo, you will need to purchase a Tesla adapter to connect to the J1772 for one of the charging cables, but other than that, you should be good to go!
Businesses require a totally unique set of solutions, as you need to consider who is paying for charging, what the charging price should be, and what times of day you will allow charging. Luckily, Open Charge Point Protocol allows you to program your charging stations to control for exactly these questions.
We hope you enjoyed learning about how to charge two electric vehicles at once. Happy charging!
