Two Home Charge Points

Just put both cars on reduced load in the settings menu, but the ChargePoint Home chargers are set out of the box at 16amp even if you have a 32amp fuse like I have for the charger.

I have two chargepoints but you have to be careful.
 
Just a suggestion ... If you have socket outlets then you can buy two 16A-rated leads. The leads also contain a resistor in to limit the charge rate. Just using 'the right' lead for the occasion may be a 'dumb' alternative, but I think you are right to worry a little about pulling 64A PLUS the domestic load through a standard domestic outlet.
That’s true Donald but why bother when they can just change the setting on the car. EV cables aren’t cheap.
 
I agree. It was just an alternative to the above better suggestions. ;) (Not all cars have load limiting so if someone had the same question for different cars and happened by this thread, there it is.. another idea..)
Good point (y)
