Electric car charging is a mess for new electric car owners
Instead, they wanted to use the 1962 dryer connection. Let us forget that doing this means wet clothes or plugging or unplugging high-current wires once or twice a day. "Can I use my old dryer connection to power an electric car" generated 5,710,000 search results on Google. This is more than the number of electric cars sold in Hyundai America.
Then there are campers. They really want to connect to the RV connector. Of course, it's not just an RV connection, so endless chats about possibilities will develop. One person always shows off his self-made soldering kit, "Works well so far!"
Other crazy EV drivers (like me) have an existing 240 (or 220 or 230) socket on a small 20 amp circuit, which may provide 16 amps in actual use. We use them to (slowly) power our electric cars instead of installing suitable wiring with more amplifiers, "because it's there." This leads us directly to our next topic.
How many amps do I need? Having a home EV charging setting (or EVSE setting if you are in that camp) is essential to having an EV happily. Of course, guys who live in rented apartments in the city center will now comment that this is not true. He is happy to get in and out of his car every day at a single public charging station within walking distance. However, for most electric vehicle owners, being able to charge at home is a big advantage.
But where do you start? All you need is your user manual and a competent electrician, but who wants to find the answer in a real situation? Try social media. Enjoy the endless debate about how many amps your garage needs, and keep asking what you can expect to pay, even though everyone’s home settings are different and electrician rates vary from place to place. Most importantly, do not choose your charger (EVSE) before asking, this will make the answer possible.
Once you have chosen a big speaker charger (or EVSE if you are in that camp), don't be surprised if your electrical panel can't accommodate it. Choose our DCNE charger, it's light, smart, IP67, suitable for your charging life fast and safely!
