If not, why yours and Tony do.

All U.S. upgrades are set to a max 20 amps by default, but you can request an unlock code from Phil to set it up to 25.TimLee said:Clarification on whether all 2013 forward upgrades go to 24 amps, or not.DaveinOlyWA said:clarify??

I don't get why it would be 25. With 10AWG wires, 80% of 30A gives you 24A, not 25A.fooljoe said:All U.S. upgrades are set to a max 20 amps by default, but you can request an unlock code from Phil to set it up to 25.TimLee said:Clarification on whether all 2013 forward upgrades go to 24 amps, or not.DaveinOlyWA said:clarify??

The J1772 connector is rated to 20A and the J1772 cable uses 12AWG, hence the 20A limit - going over that is a "do at your own risk" kind of thing, hence the "by special request" nature of it. In my case, I had to go over 20A for my Rav4-EV's charging timer to function at all, because the Rav doesn't check the line voltage and just assumes that any EVSE with a pilot signal <=20A is a L1 EVSE.RegGuheert said:And I wonder if there is some 12AWG wire in there somewhere that dictates the 20A limit. Perhaps the wires to the plug or the wires to the J1772 connector?
NEC says #12 can carry 25A. However, in most cases it's limited to 20A. At 90°, it's capable of 30A. Most wires aren't rated for this temp, and usually are limited to 60°.fooljoe said:The J1772 connector is rated to 20A and the J1772 cable uses 12AWG, hence the 20A limit - going over that is a "do at your own risk" kind of thing, hence the "by special request" nature of it.RegGuheert said:And I wonder if there is some 12AWG wire in there somewhere that dictates the 20A limit.

I did use it once last year at 6 amps, after popping two breakers at 12 and then 8 amps!!
It's great to have that versatility. It's also a great backup to my 6-40 amp JESLA, should that fail for any reason out on the road (and vice versa).
johnrhansen said:My evse upgrade only goes to 20 amps and can't be programmed for more. I got a secret code from them to be allowed to program up to 16 amps for level 1. I had to show that I had a 5-20 plug adapter first. Makes me wonder if another special secret code could be put in to allow me to program it for 24 amps at 240v, and even better 24 amps at 120 if I could show I had a tt-30 adapter for rv parks.
