Best EVSE Setup for Two EVs on One Circuit?

[Vulnox]

We run two Emporia EVSEs on one 60A circuit. They are set to charge at 24A each, but I can bump it up in the app if I need to (almost never happens). If you charge both vehicles simultaneously every day, this is probably not the best solution. For us, however, it works beautifully.

Thanks! How are you running both off the same circuit? I don't see them mention daisy chaining like with the Tesla combo EVSE or anything like that.

I have the two JuiceBoxes running off one 60amp circuit. With no load balancing, I set them to 48amp total. Wire from panel goes into small function box, 2 pigtails come out of it. Some EVSEs don't have pigtails so wire and conduit are needed.

We use the Grizz-e Duos’s - one truck plugged gets 9 kw, two charging same time 4.5KW, two plugged one charging gets 7kw.

Very long cords which might let you reach one in driveway.

Plugs into a 14-50 which I prefer to hardwire - can take it with you, upgrade, use plug for camper, etc as needed.

I'm having a Grizzl-e Duo being delivered today!

We have been sharing a Tesla charger (on 50A circuit) between the Lightning and Model Y. Sold the Y a few weeks back and have a Mach-E coming soon. I wanted to upgrade the circuit to 60A or better and do two load-balanced chargers but our panel is maxed out. We're technically overloaded, but nothing trips. I have two different electricians that do a lot of work for me (one already having wired my house) and both have looked and given me the same opinion -- I need to upgrade my service or add a separate service for my garage if I want to have more charging. The separate service for the garage makes sense and I'd do it but we're only planning to keep this place another year or two... I figure with the Grizzl-e Duo charger, we can plug in both vehicles every night and it will top them off just fine most days. If one needs a bit more, we can still get the same 40A charge rate we've been fine with if it's the only one plugged in.
