Recommendation for second EVSE
I am about to take delivery of my vehicle. I spend almost half of my time between 2 homes. I plan on putting the Audi unit at one home where I do have the correct wiring in place. The second home has wiring for electric garage heater that was never installed - 30 amp breaker. I don’t need maximum rapid charge as my daily miles are low and the Audi store is less than 3 miles away if I need power in a hurry. I am in Canada but Amazon Canada seems to have a bunch of similar looking 16amp chargers. Any recommendations on which lower power EVSE to purchase for this second location. Thanks in advance

They say you should be 20% below the breaker's rating for constant load, so anything with a 24A setting or lower should work. Sounds like a good application for a second Audi OEM adapter left on the 50% setting.
Does anybody here know how much money Audi wants for that one? It's not yet listed among the accessories on their website.
