    I have been through that thread and posted there as well, I am guessing my best bet is to go to Lowes or Home Depot and see if they have the adapter that will work for my situation. Thanks for your help.

    @Teez, no company is going to sell you an adapter that lets you plug in a 120V device to a 240V outlet, especially not Lowe's or Home Depot. You'd have to buy the parts and make it yourself. Not the best idea since you say that you're 'not very knowledgable about this sort of electrical stuff'.

    I'd recommend just buying a cheap Level 2 charger. I searched amazon and I found some for < $85, not much more than the price of the parts for the DIY adapter.
