I charge my ev on 240V 15A, so 3600W. It easily charges to 80% overnight

I don't know how electrical grid work here, but I assume I can't use more than 3300W at any given time (we use 220V and the fuse box said 15A, or is it 20A? I'll have to double check). So if I were to charge an EV, I have to turn off everything else in the house? I can't live without the Air conditioner. It's a 800W unit that can do both cooling and heating.

I think we get 50 or 100A services here in Australia, so devoting 15A to charging after cooking dinner is fine
