I'll be installing a car charger for a customer, but I have a couple of hurdles to jump over. He's got a Federal Pacific panel from 1987, and it's loaded up. I need to install a sub-panel, but I'm way short on experience in dealing with this brand. I've been breaker shopping on the internet hoping to find a regular breaker with enough amperage to cover the 40a charger and the double ovens, currently fed by a 60a breaker. There are only three sp breakers of 1" size in the panel, the rest being space savers, probably 14 of them. The oven breaker is large and the two hvac breakers are large, but there's a smaller double pole breaker feeding, I think, the dryer. I was considering putting a larger breaker in the place of the 60a and working the oven cable into the new sub-panel. I hear turkey calling, but I'll come back and proofread this later. So, if you're used to working with the FP panels, please raise your hand. Thanks.
