The upgrade is great, but it's also handy to have an L1 onboard if you're stuck somewhere and there's only 120 available.
In six months I've only used it twice, but I was glad it was there.
The EVSE upgrade comes with an optional 120V adapter for this exact situation. (It was $20 extra when I bought mine and I haven't used it since)The upgrade is great, but it's also handy to have an L1 onboard if you're stuck somewhere and there's only 120 available.

you can get adaptors to fit nearly any plug type. I have a handful that were like $25 a piece or so? the "camping" plug I have used only once (could have used standard 120 since the camping plug did not seem to provide me a faster charge) but the dryer plug has been used Dozens of timesNOGASHOLE wrote:The EVSE upgrade comes with an optional 120V adapter for this exact situation.

If you mean the three-prong 30A plug (often called a TT-30), then yes that is just 120v. But the four-prong NEMA 14-50 connects to RV "50 amp" service, and that should be as fast as any other 240v charging.DaveinOlyWA wrote:you can get adaptors to fit nearly any plug type.

Yes this is what I do when I upgrade to a newer same model car keep my upgrades and switch them to the new car. Dealer has never cared lights, stereo, oil cooler, intake.blah blah.DaveinOlyWA wrote:so you traded in your EVSE upgraded cable? I would have negotiated the option to keep that one and let them take the EVSE from the 2013... at least that is what I hope to do when my lease ends in Jan
