As long as the new EVSE doesn't need 120v for something, that should be fine. IMO, to be 100% safe you should fuse your adapter at 30 amps. The house breaker protects at 40 amps. Probably very few people do this. I admit, I didn't. > I vaguely remember combining hot and neutral. I'm not an engineer, but I wouldn't do that. I suspect that it will get you one or more of 3 things, depending on how it's done: - Sparks 'n' arcs - Tripped house breaker - Damaged EVSE, if it wants 120v and you hand it 240v David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
