Should I wait to get everything installed at once?
There's no need to wait! SPAN Drive can easily be added to any SPAN Panel installation with a small amount of preparation during your Panel installation.
Can SPAN Drive be installed with a NEMA outlet?
SPAN does not recommend installing a new NEMA 14-50 outlet with SPAN Drive.
National Electric Code (NEC) has been updated to require all NEMA 14-50 outlets to be installed on a GFCI breaker. SPAN Drive includes onboard GFCI to protect itself, and having two GFCIs on the same circuit can cause nuisance tripping. Additionally, the quality and construction of NEMA 14-50 outlets can vary. Many of the cheaper outlet options have proven unsuitable for the long charging durations required for EVs, which causes a long-term reliability concern.
For more reliable charging and better-looking installation SPAN Drive should be installed directly connected to your SPAN Panel on a standard 2-pole breaker.
