Bob, This EVSE seems to be sold under several brand names and I couldn't find a manual for any of them. I'll bet that you looked as well. These manufacturers sell a variable current EVSE as well, so I guess that the model you referenced sends a fixed 16 amp signal to the on board charger
Regardless of voltage, it is the on board charger that chooses the current to charge at. If the EVSE says 16 amps is available, then the on board charger is free to draw any current up to 16 amps. If you have the charger specifications on your car, you may check what the maximum current it will attempt to draw at 115 volts. Without the EVSE specifications or the on board charger specifications, the safe assumption is up to 16 amps for both 115 and 230 volts. By the way, portable EVSE's which allow current setting often make the setting somewhat difficult, and perhaps even temporary.

Amazon has this dual voltage EVSE ($189) that includes the adapter to 240 V 20 amp plug. https://www.amazon.com/BougeRV-Portable-Electric-Charging-Compatible/dp/B0 7BM1XT4Q/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=dual+voltage +evse&qid=1559162151&s=gateway&sr =8-1 Does anyone know if these things signal 12 amps at both voltages (it doesn't know what it is plugged into, though it could easily sense the voltage and switch). Or does it do 16 amps at either voltage. This would not be good for 15amp general purpose use. Inquiring minds... etc Bob, Wb4APR _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
