Do yourself a favo. Stop using the non word "amperage" in favor of the proper terminology. Wile CURRENT is measured in AMPERES, when discussing the amount of current FLOW, the proper term is AMPERES< or more commonly, "AMPS". "Amperage is a sure sign the speaker is not really conversant with the technology. Yes, I know, VOLTAGE is measured in VOLTS, and the amount is referred to as VOLTAGE, so you might think that logic to follow with current flow. But I assure you that is not the case. Just say NO to "amperage".

Hello, excellent video, thank you. One question, what do you recommend? I have a 10-30 for a dryer. Can I buy an adapter to use the 14-50? Thanks from Tesla. Success. @TeslaRyan

I could do the same thing without the box, although I would really be surprised if joining two outlets like that is up to code. Why not just wire up a proper 240v outlet instead of running extension cords all over.

I just installed a 5-20 outlet on 12/2 NMB on a 20A breaker. Lets me charge at 2KW and I can get about 7 miles per hour, plenty for my needs.

Remember 110 and 220 is not correct. In north america its 120 240

With one plug in an outlet right side up and the other one in a plug upside down as shown, the electrons will spin faster. Therefore your EV will charge faster. 😂

This is a terrible idea. Just put in a proper outlet.

Chances for an outlet within the same room being on the same line as another outlet is really high. You’re looking at plugging in outlets from different rooms usually

I just put in a 240v outlet for my level 2 ev charger. Was quoted $1000 / said “f*ck that” bought materials and a few electricians tools and did it myself. I am not an electrician - it really wasn’t that bad of a project. Took 6 hours (but I’m slow as sh*t) anyway, very dooable DIY

Great video

What if all outlets are gfci. Igh

This is the best video I’ve found so far that covers all the outlet types and charging speeds for each of them. Thank you! 🥳

Thanks for all the information!

we need an updated version of this video with the existing models. this video has an older model that is no longer sold.

Why no more videos?

Where did you buy it?

At the end it says 4 miles an hour? Can you please add #tesla220vhack

Is it possible to get a NEMA 1430 to charge at a 120 volts?

Awesome

It’s gfci ;-;

How many amp though, stop saying fast charging until you verify both voltage and Amp

What kind of adapter is it?

Is there still an L6-15 adapter I cant seem to find it when googling or looking around

Link to buy this one? Please thanks

Does it cause any stress in the home electrical system? Do you feel the extension cord getting too hot to the touch?

Can this work for an electric dryer ? I don’t see why not ?

Hey, I want to buy an used model s but idk if the mileage is high I will need to replace the battery, can you tell me the answer for this?

quick 220 is almost 300$, with extention cords easiliy $350....Just pay some1 to runa line for $400....

Yeah BUT… you have other things plugged into those circuits so if for example you turn on something that pulls some amp such as hair dryer, microwave, electric heater ect and you pull too much you end up tripping the breaker. Ok in a pinch but I wouldn’t rely on something like this. You can run a dedicated circuit and never have to worry about it.

I have been doing pretty good with my 12A / 112 V charging. I have been getting 5 miles of range per hour. It’s way better than I was thinking I would get. I am installing a Nema 6-20 soon. Should be 15 miles of range per hour which should be plenty.

Is this safe? I called Tesla the said extension cords aren’t safe.

With a regualer outlet youll can get 1.2 kw per hour. With this video method youll get 3.6 kw and same money install a nema 14-30 dryer or stove outlet, youll get 7.2 kw. For each kw you can drice 6 km or 4 miles. So calculate.

As someone who is interested in buying an electric car, I need this in my life, because I'm not trying to spend a whole bunch of bread on another outlet, nor do I want to unplug my dryer.

How I can get this

Link?

Link please

If I am not mistaken the fastest charger outlet I have in my house is a 120v 20amp (I think) which looks like a regular 3 prong plug but one of the top ones is horizontal instead of vertical if that makes sense. Anyway, Tesla told me when charging with 120v always charge to 90% so I do but it always stops at 90% then a few hours later it jumps up to 93% just sitting there by itself unplugged and I have no idea why.

It's not cheap either costs same as NEMA plug

Is there such charger for a non-Tesla EV that plugs into a 120V outlet at 30A? I have a Smart Electric Drive and charge via a 120V Generator. Can't afford to be charging 8-12 hours at a time at 12Amps

Hack for 120 two prong pushing electrical radio

How long is gonna take to be fully charged?

Great info/video, Thanks!

The heavy-duty industrial grade NEMA 14-50 receptacles (Hubbell, Bryant) are constructed of fire-resistant Bakelite rather than injection-molded plastic, and their 4 contact springs are heavy-duty with heavy plating, specifically designed for thousands of insertion/removal cycles rather than a few dozen. They also feature specially plated clamp-style wiring connections with set screws which must be carefully tightened using a calibrated torque wrench. A side-by-side comparison is compelling, and there are a rapidly-growing number of photos of melted/scorched/burned NEMA 14-50 outlets posted on the Internet. Sadly, many of these dangerous receptacles were installed by licensed electricians. The price of these receptacles is coming back down (~$75) now that supply is catching back up with demand. Less-expensive, lower-quality NEMA 14-50 receptacles are unsafe for EV charging and should all come with a warning that they are not designed for and must not be used for EV charging applications. Given the risk, home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowes, ACE Hardware, etc) should completely stop selling them, and online stores should be required to have detailed warnings. The national wiring codes should also be updated appropriately. No one should die or lose their home over this issue. That said, a safer, more reliable option is to have an EVSE permanently wall-mounted with a dedicated, hard-wired connection rather than installing a NEMA 14-50 receptacle. And PLEASE hire a licensed, experienced electrician. Don't risk your home and loved ones to save a few bucks. Seriously. Now that the Tesla/NACS connector is being adopted for EV charging in 120/240Vac North America, the Tesla (Gen 3) Wall Connector EVSE is an excellent value with a large installed base and a well-earned reputation for safety and reliability.

I just got a Lexus RZ and looking to purchase a charger that uses the 240V outlet, will a 25ft cable with 32A charging speed work for this? I presume I'll have to reduce the amps...?

I have an L6-20 at work and they let me charge, need to get an adapter. They do have a a nema 14-50 but I’d need to run an extension cord… how safe is an extension cord lol like 50 ft does that affect the charge?

Simply changing the plug/receptacle combination varies the amperage/power too?! It's the same mobile connector and the same 240V! What gives?

Just a heads up on the SS2-50 (@ 9:50 in the video) :- This socket will be found in a lot of commercial and industrial applications - warehouses and the like for charging heavy equipment, fork lifts and so on. I had a 2018 Nissan Leaf, and bought an adapter about 4 years ago, SS2-50 to NEMA 14-50. I found that while it would work just fine when connected to a generator or solar generator, the Nissan charging unit would error out if plugged into one of the standard warehouse sockets! I finally found out that in the warehouse applications, they are often wired for 208 volts using 2 legs of a 3-phase circuit, and not the expected 240 volts from the 2 legs of a residential circuit. This caused the Nissan charger to error out due to insufficient voltage - a brown-out situation which could start a fire if left connected for too long!
