IIRC, you can run low-power through CHAdeMO, but when I was experimenting, it needed to be at least a kW or so to keep the QC session going. It definitely charges fine at 5kW through DC.

Ingineer said:If you have a 240v capable generator and you intend on charging @ 240v, then barring a proper bonded ground with ground rod, a 100k resistor from neutral to ground should suffice.
You generator is single phase, so there is only one phase center-tapped to provide 240/120v. Most of these small generators have a switch to select from 120v or 240v/120v. That usually re-arranges the windings to be in parallel rather than series, so if you are having only 120v loads, you get double the current and no need to balance.

I can't help you with that. IIRC Phil (Ingineer) has said that the Honda generators produce a clean sin wave and not all generators do. And the Honda is fairly quiet and clean. But the Honda generators are quite expensive (although they hold resale value because of their popularity among RVers). I've never looked into reviews on Ryobi generators.pfosse said:Thank you. Parts ordered on Amazon, coming in tomorrow. Any comments on Ryobi vs. Honda?

There is a link at the top left called Subscribe that does this so you don't have to post a message.
Then a few posts later he said this:Ingineer said:If you have a 240v capable generator and you intend on charging @ 240v, then barring a proper bonded ground with ground rod, a 100k resistor from neutral to ground should suffice.

So which is it? For this hypothetical scenario let's assume we're not using an EVSEupgraded unit (nor a Leaf, for that matter, but we'll forget about that...)Ingineer said:If you have an EVSE upgrade (rev3) the ground detect functionality is selectable. Contact us for the codes.
For others, I recommend the same configuration for 240v operation, connect the 2 resistors, one each between each hot to ground, like a "Y". Effectively the same as 120v connections.
