EV Charger Information
Tapping on the "EV Charger Info" menu option will bring you to the following details:

Nest Under: Information available here.
Primary Vehicle: An optional field for adding your vehicle's make/model. More features for this field will be added in future updates.
Dedicated Breaker / Max Charge: Critical for safe EV Charger management. Set this field to match the maximum breaker rating (as shown on the breaker). The charge rate will automatically be kept below this value to ensure safety. Ensure this setting does not exceed the breaker's or NEMA plug's rating. For example, with the included NEMA plug, set to no higher than "40A (7.7kW/32A max charge)." The max charge amount shown is 20% less than the breaker rating to comply with NEC regulations.
