Jimbo - what EV are you driving?
(I had fun driving that Weego Whip!)

Is is just a 120V AC connection on that car?

On my Electro-Metro, I use a 12 GA, 25 foot extension cord between a 20-amp/120V wall outlet, and a Marinco 15 amp/120v charging port on the car.

It works great. However, I am NOT pushing 40 amps at 240V through there the way some of the new cars with the huge battery packs are going to want to.
