We are taking preorders for the following: JPWC - the 80 amp capable wall mounted J1772 / L2 charging station based on Tesla HPWC. 23 foot cable. $999 4-6 week delivery Interested parties, email to: [email protected] ********** The new JPWC is a hardwired charging station...

I doubt that there's a freeway in the United States that doesn't have a minimum speed. It's also extremely dangerous to have a large differential of speed and many many accidents have been attributed to this, including fatalities. The minimum speed, in part, is how they keep farm tractors and...

Our JESLA premium portable charging cable is "all voltage", from 100 volts to 264 volts. In addition, it will automatically adjust amperage, depending on which interchangeable plug is used. We also offer adaptors for odd combinations (for example, we offer an adaptor to plug into an L6-20...

Actually, because there is not a 40 amp outlet, NEC allows a 40 amp breaker on a 50 amp outlet. It is dumb in the extreme, but those are the current rules. Please use proper 50 amp rated wiring, circuit breaker, and outlet together. If hardwired (no outlet), then it's ok and proper to use 40...

We have been asked this many times. Both routes are expensive to develop: 1) native CHAdeMO on the BMW i3 with underhood mounted inlet 2) portable adaptor like Tesla produced Somebody mentioned how "easy" it was for Tesla, and that's just not true. They spent two years working on it. The...

Yes, a 40 amp charge station plugged into a 40 amp circuit is not proper (many electricians will hang their hat on the fact that NEC allows it because there are no 40 amp outlets). Our JESLA plugs into a NEMA 14-50 plug and is coded to properly pull 40 amps, but can also be plugged into lower...

All "chargers" take AC and rectify it into DC. The difference between a Supercharger and the Tesla car (or Mercedes B-Class ED or Toyota RAV4 EV) is where the charger is attached. In the Tesla cars, there can be one or two "10kW" chargers under the rear seat (and one 10kW charger under the hood...

Industry standard "end of life" for automotive uses is 70%.

That's a CS8469, which would be a 50 amp 480 volt outlet.

Range at 65mph (100km ground speed) on dry, hard surface level road with no wind or cabin climate control with new condition battery at 70F, battery capacity is "useable" amount, not advertised amount. Ranges are at maximum available charge and EPA rating is the maximum published. Nissan LEAF -...

Folks, the BMW onboard charger(s) will not like to handle a single phase of 480 volts (277 volts). The Tesla cars can use 277 volts because those same chargers that are in the car are also used in the Superchargers on 480 volts. If you used a transformer to step down the 277 volts to below 264...

I'm glad you got it worked out. Clipper creek is a quality unit, and they have been around quite some time. The JESLA that was linked earlier is one of our products (and we are advertisers on this forum). It is the only J1772 charge stations that will plug into almost anything, and in addition...
