If you put in a pair of Gen 3 wall chargers and share the circuit both chargers that can be set to run on one circuit and not over draw the amperage since they communicate up to 6 Gen 3 chargers on a single 240 volt circuit (48 amp max) - Its all set up in the App. I currently have set up 2 Tesla Gen 3 combo wall chargers for a Cadillac Lyriq and a ford F150 lightning on a single 48 amp circuit in my garage. It was super easy and I never have to think about when to charge since both can charge at the same time or one at a time based on the state of charge.
If you set them both to half of what you’re allowable charge voltages, then you can charge both. Otherwise, it switches from primary to secondary when the primary is done charging.
@RatsTesla for one thing, it's simply messy. The second reason for me would be that the system is designed around multiple Gen 3 chargers on one run. The app, of course , is able to manage the loads of the line and the demands of the vehicles. The third reason would be the first reason. Conduit is your friend. What would be interesting is to build a double pigtail and plug in both cars, and see how that is managed. At home, you're using that on-board charger it looks like in service mode. Because the car can operate off after market chargers, it may just work as long as your car setting is set to split the Amp load of your breaker. The other thing is using the gen3? For the x,s is an 80 amp charger on a 100 amp breaker if a guy can handle that load on the wire. Then, you're of course 40 amps on one charger for each car with the unit mounted between cars with dual tails coming from it. Just some ideas, I have one for two cars, and we just swap it to the other car when you unplug, and it's mostly okay as my wife works from home. If we both drove the same times, I imagine we would have to do two 60-amp breakers because we drive 100-mile round trips. Best video I saw was the guy plugged into his neighbors house. If they are going to be forced to pay for the tax credit, why not make them pay for some juice too.
@Patriot3 to each their own. I have been using this setup for over 6 months and it has worked great. I specifically did this so I don’t have to go swap the plug in the middle of the night. Also, what would I put in conduit? These are all extension cords. And it’s in a garage who cares about messy. It works for me and would work for many other people.
Hi, It is really a great video for those who want to charge 2 EVs at home. I am planing to have my second Tesla in my garage and my situation is almost as yours. After months experiences of using splitter, do you have some updated suggestion to tell us ? Is there other better splitter than NeoCharge ? It is safe to use the splitter ?
This vid wasn't something I wasn't looking for, but will definitely need in the future. Very informative.
The Neocharge is UL-certified too. Some of the competitor smart splitters aren’t.
Thank you for this video. It helped us redesign our garage for two Teslas.
Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing
Why would it not charge the second car at 8A while the primary charges at 32A? Since you have 40A to play with?

Great video! Thank you SO much for posting.
The power washer above that outlet scares me dude 😐
So where will you charge your Cybertruck?
That will take some updates to the panel.
He’ll add a new 60A circuit dedicated to a 48A Wall Connector.
can you charge both EVs at the same time? or they have to take turn? thanks

That's not how to do it
Why not?

This splitter has worked flawlessly. I would absolutely recommend this one for anyone with 2 EVs.
