Service feed overcurrent protection for multi-unit EV charging

Not really. When people get home from work around 6 pm they all plug in for the next day. EV ranges are overstated from the manufacturer, among other issues. People want level 2 charging at home, and now they want level 3 with cyber trucks which I think are totally stupid.

Yes, well, with half the people stupid enough to charge at 6pm during peak hours, and the other half smart enough to charge off-peak after midnight, and a different half who charge everyday so they don't ever half to think about it, and a different half who are too lazy to spend 10 seconds plugging in before they reach 30%, it'll get decently spread out. Not to mention all the people who work from home or bike to work.

Just because they plug in at 6pm, does not mean the vehicle has to start charging at 6pm.
All that's important is that it be ready to go in the morning.

40 amps * 80% * 240V = 7.68lW * 10 hours = 76.8 kW
Take 3 miles per kwh for your Cyberthing, and that's 230 miles per night, or 1612 miles per week.
Add a top up occasionally at at 15 minute charger.
