I keep yelling people that almost half the hones in this country still gave a 60 A service.

That even if you have a 200A service, you might not he able to afford the electricity.

And even if you have the power and the money, you still might not be able to charge it at home thanks to zoning codes.

EVs are fine for anyone who wants them, but I won’t be trading in my ICE vehicles any time soon.

” keep yelling people that almost half the hones in this country still gave a 60 A service.”

In many threads we have asked for a valid link for this claimed statistic.

I have never seen 60 amp service ,I own five homes that range in age from 1900s till 2018. Even the farm house in rural South Texas had 100 amp service originally and was upgraded in the 1980s to 200 amp.

Ever other home I own and have ever seen has 200 amp plus. My largest home has three buildings on property the largest has 400 amp service and my steel building has triple phase 480V at 300 amps. Which also where the grid tie inverters and powerwalls are too.

Again where in bubble F nowhere does 60 amp even exist. Code for the last 20 years has been 200 amp 240v. 100 minimum for any sale on a mortgage as not insurance company will ensure below 100amp service.

Seriously there is no way no how half of American homes have 60 amp service. Given that NEC code for 20+ years is 200 it’s impossible for your standing to be true.
