The correct breaker should be 50A, but a 40A breaker could also be used if the EV charge is set to a lower amperage (I.e.: 35A, 30A - depending on the vehicle available settings). The point is that the breaker should not be subject to pass a current around its maximum limit for long periods (as charging an EV will normally take hours and that will surely cause overheating of the breaker). Safety first!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is an adjustment inside for setting a lower amperage. You should turn this to the proper setting based on your installation to ensure your equipment is properly protected. You can find this information in the manual, and you should receive stickers you can put on the wallbox and the breaker feeding it to notate the adjustment. When in doubt, contact an electrician.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A 40 amp breaker is sufficient for 32 amps of charging only. The Wallbox has an internal rotary switch to limit charging to various values, including 32 amps. Hardwiring is recommended for this application. The charging must be limited to 80% of the breaker to prevent overheating.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The manual calls for a 50A breaker. If you have a 40A, you'll need an electrician, as 50A will require replacement of the breaker, outlet, and wire.
