My favorite local brewery celebrated their 7th anniversary today, and I was the 3rd car to the 4 port Level 2 charger. When I pulled in, I realized that there were 3 Bolts in a row. Before I’d finished plugging in, a 4th Bolt arrived.

I’d never seen a Bolt cluster this large before! I’d also never seen 4 cars charging at this station. Not long afterwards, the chargers went dark and stopped charging. I suspect the main breaker was undersized.

Too many Bolts getting drunk on electricity. They cut you off.

A Brewery with 4 charge stations?!?
Now I'm thirsty! :p

So, 3 legacy Bolts and one new Gen that might be able to suck it up at 11kW. = 107 amps.
Maybe the L2's need to be programmed to only put out 32 Amp if that's what was originally planned with this circuit.

Keep in touch. I'd like to see how they explain the CB popping.
Hopefully the electrician that wired in the charges was not involved in designing and installing the brew equipment.
Normally a newer brewery has immaculate wiring!

I don’t think there are even that many Bolts within a 50 mile radius of here.
