hello, EV heads. I am ordering a car charger TODAY. is this what I want? - amanda May 25, 11:03 22
- The only thing is I don't think your plug is the NEMA 14-50. It doesn't look like mine. I think that is called a 10-30R plug. You can only go up to -- (edited) - oblique May 25, 11:54 3
  - Note: It is probably trivial for an electrican to swap out the plug and possibly breaker to go to 50amp (NEMA 14-50) directly -- (edited) - oblique May 25, 12:01 2
    - okat $90 extra for smart is worth it, I think. my car is "capable of accepting up to 11kW from a 48-amp level 2 charging source" but my plan is to set - amanda May 25, 12:12 1
      - Yeah, I could set mine down as well (car only pulls 30 IIRC) and I do kinda wish I had gotten the smarter charger. Just get that outlet adapter cable -- (edited) - oblique May 25, 12:17

    - No wear and tear. The Grizzle-E is a one time plug in. See my other response about the outlet type. You may want to go with the "SMART Grizzl-E" if - oblique May 25, 11:55
    - I always assumed you could just plug into 220v but I’ll let others with actual cars tell you. -- nm - spamlet May 25, 11:34
- I do believe a 'smart' charger will stop when your battery is fully charged so you don't over charge and damage it... -- (pic) - zeitgeist May 25, 11:16 [Attachment] 5
  - Don't the cars detect that and stop the charging? -- nm - zork May 25, 11:19 4
    - Yes. My Niro EV I have set to stop at 80% charge. -- nm - oblique May 25, 11:58
