Charging Two EVs with One Charger
I had a level 2 charger installed for my BMW I8 through the electric company (XCEL) and my wife is getting an EQS SUV. I charge overnight to get optimal rates. What are the best methods or times to charge two EVs with one charger? Or should I have another charger installed? Can one install two chargers on a 50 amp circuit?

Charge your i8 with a level 1 charger.
If you are planning to replace your i8 with a real EV then you will need to install a 2nd circuit or replace your current EVSE with something like this dual Charger from ClipperCreek
