Just got my RAV4 and now I need a charger in the garage.
I'm not electrically savvy and do not want to do this on my own. I do not want Toyota to use the excuse that I have issues because I'm using the wrong charger, SO..I'd like to install the recommended Leviton (40A, 9.6kW output).
Question #1: has anyone used the Leviton website to purchase and hire Leviton to install? If so how much was total price? Benefits are 10 year warranty and professional install. Any other pros/cons?
Question #2: If I buy hardware online to save some cash, how much should I expect to pay electrician to install? Does he install a Nema 6-50 or 14-50? What the difference?
Question #3: If my electricity provide SoCal Edison has special rates but recommends I get a separate meter to take advantage of off-peak rates, do I get the second meter first or the wiring and charger first?
