there for low line voltage so that you don't trip the breaker if you power provider is doing conservation voltage reduction. Plus if a breaker is old it may trip at 28 amps and not 30. 26 amps gets you pretty close to full capacity for a 6.6 kW charger.
Why do you seem to be stuck with a 30 amp breaker? What if I run it on a 40 amp breaker? Now, I have no problem going to 32 amps.
Yes, those cables for the J1772 are typically 30 amp max, and so is an L6-30 (if that's what you're using).
So, making those assumptions, virtually anybody could run 30 amps who had access to a breaker at 40 amps.
