I thought the 50a at RV parks was ok when using the mobil connector that comes with the car....if there is only 30a service, cant you use a TT30-P to Nema 14-50 R and reduce charging inside car to 24a?.....
Yes, that is possible.
Yes, but an EVSE (te part outside the car) itself should not be plugged into a service with a lower capacity. The point of the EVSE is for it to tell the car how much service is available so it doesn't melt the outlet...
Crissa......isn't that the point of the TT30P > Nema 14-50R? I thought the adapter is wired properly (the ground).....unless you get one specifically designed, and ground wires are attached to correct pins......isn't that what causes over heating and melting? It was my understanding, that if you can only get 30a service, the adapter will allow you to use it as long as you only use 80% of the rated amperage.....that I think in the main reason to set the car at 24amps....did I miss something...thanks....I want to be on the safe side when I go to Miami next month
Previously it was suggested to use a higher power EVSE which would report its capacity incorrectly to the car.
got it ....thanks
