How many amps does your 220 volt 50 amp plug equipped car actually draw?
The charger in this build has a knob that can be adjusted to draw less or more amps. Kinda nice if you are worried about popping somebody's breaker. I usually charge drawing around 20 amps from my 220 circuit. Not much of a problem for my 50 amp connection. On my most recent conversion, I use a bigger charger (EMW 12000 watt unit) that can exceed the 50 amp spec for that connection.
