I am currently able to charge at work but it not an ideal situation. I get to work at 3 am and start charging the car right away even though I don't leave until noon. That means the car sits for 6 hours, charged, before I drive home. I also have to move the car by 6:30 am because where I have to charge is not in the employee parking area. There is no plug there. I spoke with the maintenance supervisor today about the plug we had been discussing putting in the employee parking. He said he had spoken with an electrical contractor and was getting a price for what it would cost to put a couple of charging stations or plugs there. I asked if it was going to be 120v or 240v and he indicated that was some of the info the contractor was gathering. He also indicated that the contractor, who I know, may come to talk to me for info/opinion/advise, I don't know exactly what. I have a vague idea about what is needed but not exactly. I'm sure there is an ideal setup, something passable and something unacceptable/unusable. I don't know if they are looking at full blown charging stations or just a couple of plugs. It may come down to what they are willing to spend. I am currently the only one on our plant who has a plug-in but at least one of the company's plants in California has places to plug in. I'm not sure what their setup is or if it is applicable to our situation or even outdated. If asked what do I tell the contractor and/or plant management? Calvin
I use a standard 120 vac 20 amp outlet. Soon I'm buying a 5"x5"x24" plastic outdoor enclosure with cover to hold a duplex box with 20 amp switch and 20 amp outlet. Then I can use the switch to power the outlet, plug in my Kill A Watt in the outlet, plug a right-angle appliance cord into the Kill A Watt, plug the charging cable into the appliance cable, and mount the CCID (Charging Circuit InterruptingDevice) of the charging cable in the box, to keep it out of the weather.
At least you guys get to charge it at work. I work for an utility company and there is nothing to charge on the parking lot. How stupid. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
