Hello, everyone,
I made the trip to the place where they have camping spots. This is not a campground, but another recreational area where they just happen
to entertain guests that are staying overnight in campers. They were very nice and offered me free EV charging at a camping spot.
Yes! I can confirm that there is an electrocution hazard when plugging in the Y adapter. I got a little buzz of 120V when I had the other connector in my hand.
I let the charge run for about an hour and I went back and checked on the progress, and it was just a few %.
The car was charging at the 120V, 12A rate. I turned on the car and it showed on LEAFScan that I was getting 1219 Watts to the system and charging the battery (with the car on) at 355.3V x 2.87A, 1.0kW
So, I forgot to bring my voltmeter with me to check to see if there was 208/240 between hots, but I guess the results speak for themselves.
I put in 9% charge in the three hours or so that I was there, which actually did help.
So, I found nearby the circuit breaker panel for the area (with 3 single-pole and 1 double-pole 40A circuit breaker) and wired to the panel was a 6-50 receptacle. In the hopes I can use that next time, I've ordered a 6-50P to 14-50R dogbone from EVSEAdapters. I can test this at home, as this type of receptacle is what my GE WattStation is plugged into, and maybe it will be tested so I can take it up there next weekend.
