Agreed, ,. Most houses have a center tapped single;e phase circuit. From both legs ignoring the neutral is 240vVAC

The EVSE signals the current available via the pilot. If there is an amount equal or greater than the car needs the car;s charger sets the current. Any excess is ignored. My EVSE is a 40A unit connected to a 50A circuit that charged my "B" at 49A. The same EVSE charges my IoniQ at 28.5A. The...

Many EVSE;s are dual voltage. I think the JuiceBox is or at least it was and the OpenEVSE can be made dual voltage. In the OpenEVSE it is just a matter of using a 12V relay Same with the JuiceBox.. The two basic JuicveBox units had 12V relays running on the 15V supply. I do not know what they...

My Mercedes never had it and my Ioniq times out so I am good.

s understand it earlier in this thread there is instructions on making the unit dumb. you might want to kill its intelligence first and see what happens.

heck across the contactor coil to see if it has voltage first. I use keying relays on the DIY openEVSE boards and I have never had one fail. The non-DIY version has a built in solid state driver.

I have never seen a real life unit. I have just purchased cables on eBay. I think that setting the un=its t0 24A helped a lot. I received a cable with appalling Crimps that was unburned. On the contsctor side it the contacts look clean than I would not replace it. Instead I would meter the...

China seems to have no enforcement of rules. Many Chinese EVSE's claim to be J1772 but they lack the GFCI circuit. Just beware of what you purchase. Units with no GFCI protection work fine normally but they lack a defined protection. Very early OpenEVSE boards lacked GFCI but they worked fine...

I have never seen a bad seal on a working EVSE. I have purchased from eBay a cable with a bad seal. It was fixed before installing in a EVSE. It was just a matter of seating the seal.

My Mercedes b250e automatically set the clock. My IoniQ requires me to set it twice a year. It is no big deal since it is only twice a year.. Yes the programmer was lazy. My clocks set it automatically at home. but I can live with manually setting it.

I purchased a Rema Blink Cable From eBay. The crimp was awful. I think that setting The current to 24A was a good thing since the pins were unburned Repairing a cable is documented .on MNL in the blink section..

I coserder GRA a spammer he FAVORS hydsregon b\baaed cares like the Toyota based MIE dispute its poor reveres. He does not own any car and-he hates BEVS"s he id an enemy sand I feel banning him was the right choice.

I have an OpenEVSE that I built that has a 14-30 plug for sale. In my care I purchased the wrong power cable. I was going for a 14-50 but I screwed up. Since I had the cable I built a 24A EVSE.

All you can do is check the breaker. If your compressor is on a normal circuit then it may be a 20A breaker. The stock Leaf EVSE is set for 12A (80% of 15A). That is the NEC max for a 15A circuit. As long as your compressor has a plug on it it draws less than 15A. If it is hard wired then it...

On my Ioniq I did not bother with the stickers. My eGolf came with them so I mounted them on some magnetic sign material and kept them in the glove compartment. I really have no need for the HOV lanes. In fact I rarely drive on freeways these days.
