    In the US we have building codes, permits, and inspections. While possible to upgrade the service to your house as a home owner it cannot be done quickly. It would be at least 2+ days with the power out if you can line up the power company and inspector properly.

    I am only going to install a 32A charger. I need more service to my house to support it, 100A currently. I need a larger panel as I have no breaker space and I need the new circuit run ~150 ft away.

    Please don’t burn down your neighbors house. Less than an hour sounds like you cut corners.

    Also, it’s insane to say it’s useless. Do you even know what that word means?

      In France we have building codes and permits and inspection. But no permit needed for such a small operation, and you can use your electrical installation while you wait for the inspection (that may never come).

      There are 2 devices to install and wire inside the electrical board, how long should that take without cutting corners ?

      Also sorry for the choice of word but that’s what I think it is when doing something that goes against you’re best interest.
