Your 2024 won't charge higher than 48amps...
If you think that you will ever need 2 chargers, ChargePoint is not a good choice, since its app only works with a single charger. I would recommend Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Tesla Universal Wall Connector instead.
Your '24 Lariat will only accept 48 amps maximum. Only reason to go with an 80 amp is if you think you'll need it for something different in the future.
Yes, Supercharger can hit low 190kW. 48amps is about 10.5kW in truck.
That’s only true if the electrical system doesn't have the capacity to fully power 2 units. I run 2 independent units at full power without issue.
The Tesla charger is a DC fast charger that uses Direct Current and is a different charging method that is much faster, made for recharging while traveling.
If you plug an 80A charger into a car that only accepts 48A, the charger doesn't "work half as hard." It simply passes 48A through. The internal components aren't cruising; they are just performing at the car's max request.
Internal components designed for 80a will work less stressed producing half the current than if it were designed for 48a delivering all it can make.
Theoretically yes, but the measure of improved reliability is miniscule at best. A good charger rated for 48a and running at 48a will still be much better then a mediocre quality 80a charger running at 48a.
The box on the wall, EVSE, has no electronic components subject to 48/80 amps. The electronics that do all the conversion are in the truck's AC charger. The wall box is just a smart switch with heavy-duty relays that energize the cable when told to do so by the truck.
It sounds you're talking about something different. Shutterbug was talking about the app's ability to communicate with the units, you're talking about electrical capacity.
