I believe it charges off both regular 110 and higher capacity 220 dryer outlets, but don't expect it to charge fast. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Sep 3, 09:39 2
- more importantly, can it charge off a regular wall outlet, or does it need a charging station wired to one of those circuits? - znufrii Sep 3, 09:42 1
  - According to this Wiki page, it is a standard wall outlet - JaxSean Sep 3, 09:49
I'm guessing if you can't run your dryer off a standard outlet, you're not going to charge a car -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 09:32 6
- Uh, what year is it? -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 09:38 5
  - Dryers have model years? -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 09:39 4
    - Nowdays they are normal plugs. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 09:41 3
      - Uh, no they're not. - JaxSean Sep 3, 09:43 1
        
        Hmm. I guess I was thinking 3-prong = normal. My bad. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 09:49
      - I was going by what the article was speaking of. I really have no idea what my dryer uses -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 09:41
I don't know, but "and 2,600 free chargers for Chevrolet Volt buyers" makes me think not. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 3, 09:30
