Thanks for the reply joulethief. Can you clarify the upgrades that are needed? On your link, you describe that in order to future proof your evse and utilize the 32 amp, it is necessary to upgrade the input and output wires. I am assuming since my battery is 6.6 kw, I will need to do these upgrades?
Secondly, my in laws have a Nema 14-30r outlet. Should I switch their outlet to nema 6-30 or should I install 14-30 at my house and change the plug on the spx evse
Well unfortunately I think the upgrade would be rather costly if you decided to do it. First you would need to get a J1772 cable with 8-3AWG wire and also the pilot signal comm wire. This isn't a standard cable you can buy at your local home depot, my guess is you could probably have a 20' cable made for maybe $200. Then you'd need to source a J1772 connector rated to handle 32A. I believe there are currently only 2 versions, a 30A (which comes standard on the Power Xpress) or a 70A. Last I checked the cheapest J1772 connector I could find was $200 and it was only rated to 30A. Then you would need to assemble this hardware or pay someone to do it for you. All said and done I'd expect this to run you $400-$600. It's safe to say NO ONE has actually done this yet, so you would be doing some trail blazing here. You could also call SPX and ask for their help and recommendations but I wouldn't count on much support from them.
The good news is I don't think it's really necessary in you're case. As I mentioned, a 6.6kWh charger on a 240V line will only draw 27.5A (6.6kWh = 6600W / 240V = 27.5A). So if I were you, I would get the Power Xpress, set it to 32A, and not worry about it since your car won't pull more than 27.5A anyway. This will just allow the Power Xpress to deliver the max charge your car can take. And if you're planning to plug into dryer outlets, they will have a 30A breaker anyway so if for any reason you ever did pull more than 30A, the breaker would simply trip. If you ever find it to become an issue, just dial the Power Xpress back to 24A, which wouldn't be much slower than 27.5 anyway (5.76kWh).
As for the plug, I agree with Gary. I would go with a locking connector like the L6-30, then make a few adapters to 14-30, 10-30, and 5-15. This will allow you to use the Power Xpress in a variety of situations, but I wouldn't make 14-30 your standard. When I was researching my setup, I found a few sources stating that the dryer outlets aren't as robust and not designed for repeated plugging/unplugging.
Hope this helped.
Oh yeah, and don't mess with your In Law's outlet - leave it alone lol! Aside from the fact that it's a major code violation to convert a 4-prong outlet such as 14-30 to a 3-prong such as 6-30, this is also a standard for all dryers to use. I'm sure if your in-laws ever replaced their dryer or moved to another house, they wouldn't appreciate having to change the plug or receptacle ;-). And whatever you do, always tell the wife that you know EXACTLY what you are doing - haha.
