Jan 11, 2022 · - Nema 5-15 = 120v x 12a = 1,440w - 400w = 1040w - Nema 6-15 = 240v x 12a = 2,880w - 400w = 2480w (charges 2.3 times as fast as a 5-15) - Nema 6-20 = 240v x 16a = 3,840w - 400w = 3440w (charges 3.3 times as fast as a 5-15) That overhead really makes a difference when charging at 120v. In my mind, that makes either of the 240v choices well worth ...

Jun 12, 2022 · Thanks to a few folks from the CCS superthread that suggested the 6-15, I found this thread on the 6-20 conversion: How I upgraded from NEMA 5-15 to NEMA 6-20 for $66 which helped immensely. Only differences are that instead of converting to 12AWG, I kept the 14AWG for the 15A circuit but did the same swap in the circuit breaker using a tandem ...

Aug 27, 2021 · But rather converting the 5-15 on the mobile connector to something like a 6-20 or 14-50 with a pigtail. This is totally fine, as the EVSE is dual-voltage and can accept either one. Pretty common with the Chevy Volt and Prius Prime crowd, who got a 5-15 EVSE shipped with their car but it also operates at 240V to double the charging speed.

Jun 29, 2015 · I wanted to have two set of extension cables handle when travel. One for the NEMA 5-15 connection and another for the NEMA 10-30. With those two I can at least cover 95+% of scenario when visiting people houses and not having a super charger within 10 miles around me. Public charging suck as BLINK and CHARGEPOINT is great if you are at a mall.

May 30, 2018 · So someone else mentioned this plug adapter in the forum the other day and so I went ahead and bought one. It allows you to get a NEMA 5-20 adapter for your UMC and plug it into this, and then plug this into a NEMA 5-15 receptacle. First of all- This is NOT UL or NEC rated for what I am going to describe here. Use this information at your own risk!

Mar 10, 2016 · It has the NEMA 5-15 adapter, and the NEMA 14-50 adapter. I'm going to have my NEMA 14-50 installed in about a week, so until then will be charging with the 5-15. However, I have access to a 20-amp 110v outlet which the NEMA 5-15 can plug into.

Apr 27, 2019 · I am moving to a new house, and the garage has a NEMA 5-15 outlet where I park. Conveniently, it's also right next to the circuit breaker, which is brand-new and has space to expand. Considering I only drive 30-40 miles per day, I'm debating whether it's worth it to install a NEMA 14-50 (or...

Mar 3, 2012 · I saw people converted NEMA 5-20 to NEMA 6-20. But the only A/C outlet I have in my garage is a NEMA 5-15. There is also no separate Panel in my garage. An Tesla approved electrician told me I needed a big project to add NEMA 14-50. It costs $3200. That's why I am thinking about whether there is inexpensive way to upgrade from the slow NEMA 5-15.
