It's possible - but not trivial to do it safely - someone over on the Tesla forums built a device that let's him do it so he can charge his Roadster at it's max of 70A instead of 40A on a single 14-50R.TonyWilliams said:Would there be any reason why I could not use two NEMA 14-50R outlets (at an RV park) and combine them into one box for 100 amp service ?
I'll see if I can dig up the post, but in a nutshell he did this to make sure it's done safely:
1. Build a device similar to Easy240 that parallels 2 NEMA 14-50R outlets. Need to do this since often the phases are typically different on adjacent outlets in RV parks which would short the outlets if paralleled which would not make you popular with the host!
2. Use a high quality current meter on each leg for monitoring. If one outlet has significantly different resistance than the other one outlet can end up pulling more current than the other and you trip a breaker.
3. Initially start charging at 40A and make sure current on each outlet has similar current, then ramp up the current while monitoring current for any significant imbalance.
