New EVSE option: a BReAKER with built-in EV Charging: EATON

[hturnerfamily]

Here's an amazing new option for 'at home' charging: A new EV Charging BREAKER, all-in-one build... taking the place of our traditional EVSE MODULE...

and, they also make this in a 'plug in' type if you already have an outlet nearby...

Cool idea... hopefully future iterations will be able to get to 48A (60A Breaker). This would be good for PHEVs and other smaller battery vehicles or in regions not plagued with massive TOU swings.

4 breaker slots kinds sucks too.

the interview with EATON staffs shows that they are, yes, working on a 'larger' EVSE BREAKER set, for 48amp charging... too

I like this idea for at-home charging... and, like always, a mobile EVSE is likely something we'll all continue to carry in our vehicles...

I had bought the following during the Amazon Prime days for $120 CDN:

Installed it at the cottage and it has been amazing. I was blowing my 40amp bussman fuses all the time - it would cost me $20 each time I had to replace one and over the summer I replaced them 3x.

I don't know why that was happening since my charger was setup at 32amps. So I installed this a few weeks ago and no issues. Plus it also gives me access to a 30-amp RV outlet as well as a GFCI protected 20-amp outlet.

A solution in search of a problem.
