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 ...

Jul 23, 2014 · 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.

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 ...

Oct 24, 2017 · 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 other type outlet).

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.

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.

Jan 8, 2019 · $0.98 NEMA 6-20 Outlet Cover Not shown: $35 NEMA 6-20 Mobile Adapter The finished product after ~30 minutes of fiddling around swapping breakers and reconnecting the conductors.

Jun 5, 2013 · Therefore the 5-15 should handle just as much current as the 5-20, so I just leave the 5-15 on the cord. If I plug it into a 5-20 outlet, I put the 5-20 adapter on the UMC. I also carry a 6-15 end for this cord, since I know a few places that can be useful.

Jan 9, 2020 · If you are not getting what you think is the proper current limit (and 40A is definitely not what a 5-15 allows), there can be a couple of things that could throw it off: NEMA adapter is not fully plugged into the mobile connector. The NEMA adapter is defective (there's a chip/resistor inside that "tells" the mobile connector what it is).

Aug 28, 2019 · Other possibility, which is ideal, given the only $200 additional cost, would be to purchase a wall charger and plug it into the NEMA 5-15 outlet for now. Then, once I buy a house and can make modifications to the garage, just bring that with me. TL;DR 1st question - can I plug a Tesla wall connector into a NEMA 5-15 outlet?
