$20 for a new amp thing and this thing looks plug and play basically. No idea why people call electricians

lmao you're gonna burn your house down if you don't properly upsize the cables running to the device too. What's on this circuit and why are you upgrading it?

Tesla wall charger that I bought for $400 and mounted, but still charges the same speed as regular cable charger in the big outlet

Yeah you need at least 4 gauge wire without any more information, if you run smaller it could result in an inferno

Good looking out man. Thankfully the breaker is directly on the other side of wall. Imagine if I had to run that cable through the ceiling or something shitty!

do not do this, you can't just randomly increase power loads, I don't know shit about electricity but I know enough to know that you don't fuck around with it

It's not random brother. You can increase it to the max amount of amps in the Circuit. Mine is 40 and you can change it to 60 amps for minimal cost.

There is no reasonable explanation I can find for why 60 amps isn't standard in everyone's circuit breaker.
