I don't want to re-hash the same points I keep saying earlier in this thread, we need much more common sense about how we allocate power for EV Charging. Condos — EV owners to set up charging, this doesn't have to be the case, you don't need a 60AMP dedicated circuit to each car, easy to charge 10 even up to 20 EV's on a single charged 3PH 200AMP load bank.
I can't imagine owning my car and using public charging infrastructure exclusively, especially in winter
For home owners, all you need is a 30 AMP circuit. The ESA and Hydro are forcing home owners to pay $$$ to upgrade panels to 200AMP at huge costs.

I decided against upgrading to 200AMPs for a few reasons. First, I am able to easily meet my charging needs with a 32amp breaker and charge my Tesla most nights while I'm sleeping. Second, I expect EVs to become more efficient over time and be able to travel longer distances using less electricity. They will likely never be as inefficient as the current generation.
I can run my a/c, all my inside appliances, my pool pump, and charge my car all well within my 100 amp panels limitations.
