Anybody knows if it is possible to connect the "occasional use cable" of a US i3 to a 240v outlet, using an adapter?
 
While many things a dual voltage, unless a device is labeled as such, it will usually fail. An EVSE has a power supply in it to power the interlock signals and activate the relay that connects the line voltage into the EV. While it would be nice if the thing could use 240vac which would double the power supplied, that's not the case with the supplied device.
 
There r some shops , which will upgrade that to 240 Volts. See ebay
I got a quote for $125 ,
 
The company the makes the "JESLA" charge cable - which is the OEM TESLA charge cable modified with the J1772 connector (expensive), also makes a multi-voltage Go-Cable.

Uses a NEMA L6-20 plug, but different plug adapters can be purchased from them as well.
