Building on what Mike posted, my assumptions are: - the end EVSE host will have your Electrician friend do the install - that it will be at a home where the EVSE will be outside, - is located near San_Rafael-CA, - and their visiting friends will be there for at least 2 hours. Looking at the nearby private EVSE on plugshare.com , there are a mix of j1772, L1, a few Tesla-only, and only one 14-50 outlet. So, j1772 and L1 are the most common for outdoor EVSE. Plugshare also shows there are plenty of public L2 6kW at $1.50hr, and several public L3 available. So, it is isn't like the visiting friends will get stuck, they just want to nurse a charge so they do not have to stop and use the public EVSE. To me this means the EVSE host has to decide how much power they are going to offer, how many plugins the host will accommodate, and how much they want to spend on the EVSE install. The lowest cost offering the EVSE host can have is a couple of L1 outlets. This can be two 20A circuits running on 12-3 cable to one duplex 5-20 outlet where the shorting strap is removed and each outlet is wired to have its own 120VAC 20A circuit: http://www.zoro.com/leviton-receptacle-duplex-20a-5-20r-125v-ivory-8300-sgi/i/G1488496/?gclid=CKrP57_kvMoCFQErHwod1NAL_Q&gclsrc=aw.ds outlet http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61i77MYcqUL._SY355_.jpg outdoor enclosure The host's EV/plug-in-hybrid friends would need to bring their own L1 EVSE and extension cords. J1772 EVSE will cost the host much more than offering the L1 alone, but the friends can more easily come and plug-in without having to remember to bring their L1 EVSE. Using j1772 higher power EVSE, the Electrician would need to find out what the EVSE host's power panel amperage limitations are. There are two main j1772 choices: L2 3kW or L2 6kW EVSE, because cheaper plugins will only have a half-powered 3kW on-board charger and the more expensive ones will want more power. The cost difference between a 3kW or 6kW EVSE is not that much. But the cost of installing more electrical power may cost more. Here are some j1772 EVSE links to explore: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GE-EV-Charger-Indoor-Outdoor-Level-2-DuraStation-Wall-Mount-with-18-ft-Cord-/131706501517?hash=item1eaa51b98d:g:SdQAAOSw5dNWn-8w&vxp=mtr $400 6kW GE EV Charger Indoor/Outdoor Level-2 DuraStation, Wall Mount with 18 ft Cord http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?162610-Do-NOT-Recommend-GE-DuraStation-30A-Model-EVDSWGH-CP01 (an unhappy buyer, but the Electrician may not have the same complaints) https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/ge/evdswgh-cp01/installation-guide-english.html DuraStation Installation Guide http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keba-P20-Level-2-Electric-Car-Charger-EVSE-J1772-208V-240V-MERCEDES-OEM-/231796993498?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368#shpCntId $400 L2 6kW Keba P20 Level 2 Electric Car Charger EVSE J1772 (208V-240V) (MERCEDES OEM) http://www.ebay.com/itm/ev-charging-station-cord-cable-J1772-EVSE-Current-select-16-10Amp-110-240-Volt-/252101131205?hash=item3ab265fbc5:g:EKcAAOSwFnFWAnRC&vxp=mtr $364 L2 3kW ev charging station,cord,cable,J1772,EVSE,Current select 16/10Amp 110-240 Volt https://www.evseadapters.com/evse-charger $350+S&H L2 3kW 240V 16A Portable Level 2 Charger EVSE http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUD-NEMA-1-Sheet-Electrical-Enclosure-Metal-Steel-6x8x4-Box-Junction-Cover-2-DAY/201505444039?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33876%26meid%3D978ed0bd08aa47afbb6ba824c7b30362%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131697903471 $16 This is a lockable Electrical enclosure that the Electrician can mount the above 3kW EVSE into and run its j1772 cord out the box when it is locked So the EVSE host's choices might be: - 2 L1 - 1 L2 3kW, & 2 L1 - 2 L2 3kW, & 2 L1 - 1 L2 6kW, & 2 L1 - 2 L2 6kW, & 2 L1 Be sure to mount the EVSE to where the j1772 cord will reach around to the plugins that are optimized for right-hand driving (j1772 port on the left side).
