I'm not opposed to an EV charge to offset the gas tax, but there's a big difference between paying a few pennies at the pump and one lump sum.

Anyway- Had another electrician visit this morning; good conversation, he's personally a fan of Rivian, his wife has had three Teslas and he's a big fan of Emporia chargers. Estimate coming later today.
Much more reasonable. Probably $2500 all in.

If it was a plug, change it out for a hardwired connection.... NEMA 14-50 plugs will eventually fail under continuous load.
I have a 7 year old Siemens EVSE that is NEMA 6-50 plug, charged 2 Cayenne PHEVS, my Taycan, 2 XM PHEVS with zero issue. It only draws 32 amps, but why the assumption that a plug in EVSE will ultimately fail? Currently also using a NEMA 6-50 plug ChargePoint on both my G580 and R1S, it is 4 years old (also did some of the charging on my Taycan and iX).
