No manufactured ev other than Tesla with an adapter can make use of your NEMA 14-50. They all use either standard 120V outlet, L1, or require a J1772 plug to use L2. I also charge with a NEMA 14-50 at home and at RV parks and have a charger that can use its full power, but I also have a J1772 which I use to charge at public L2 EVSEs. Most of the latter are 208V rms with max 32A max, so can supply a max ~6.6kW. Some are 240V and 32A max (~7.7kW max), and a very few are 240V and 70A max. The only manufactured ev that can make use of the latter is a Tesla with its 10kW charger, or with an optional dual charger, 20kW.
The Volt can only use 120V with its 3.3kW charger, the Leaf, Fiat, BMW i3, and Kia Soul can make use of 208V or 240V L2. As said, you will need an EVSE for L2. Open EVSE is fairly economical, and Clipper Creek is a less expensive commercial EVSE. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Installing-External-Charge-Access-tp4679987p4680059.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
