Hi,
Today I found a row of six, Huntsville utilities installed, 120 VAC outlets:
Our Level 1 EVSE is rated at 12A which limits the rate. However, the sockets appear to be NEMA 5-20R which should provide up to 20A, potentially a 66% increase in charge rate. So I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a higher current, Level 1 EVSE?
I would like one that allows setting the current limit so it could provide more 'headroom' for the utility circuit breaker. For good measure, auto-step the current limit up measuring the dV drop to optimize loading on the circuit breaker.
So for dinner and a beverage, this is what happened at 12A:
