Charging at apartment with 110V at MAX rate

no, it just means the circuit you plugged into could supply the necessary power without blowing the breaker.
you might be fine to continue to do so, or someone may turn something on that circuit on and pop the breaker during your charge.
there's no way to know, without knowing what's on that circuit.

 

It would be nice to measure the amps you draw at MAX. What size and length extension chord are you using.

 

I think regulation is 15A, as long as outlets from the same breaker supply no more than 15A, you are fine.

 

I am qurious does the extension chord get warm?

 

If you use an extension cord I suggest you get a 14/2 or better 12/2 extension cord. The lower the guage the thicker the wire and the better it can handle the voltage.
Your average orange extension cord from H/D or Lowe's is only 16/2. Technically it can handle the load but the wire will warm up. Better safe than sorry.

Nexus 6P ?

 

you can draw 15 amps, unless it is a 20 amp circuit breaker. then you can draw 20. but that is you plus anything else on the circuit.
a20 amp breaker should have a corresponding outlet, but not always.

 

It is actually better for batteries to charge at a lower rate of charge.

Does everyone agree with this statement. It's all about heat.

It's different if you need a full charge in a short time but if you don't need a fast charge why use it?

 

I would agree with that. Heat is battery bad—no doubt. But I’m assuming that the additional heat generated by faster charging is not mitigated in some way—like via additional cooling. I do want a 240 charger, but part of me is nervous about the additional heat and stress as opposed to slower charging. But maybe faster charging is better—being that it takes less time—much less time—less time means less stress and heat. But then again, what do I know LOL.

 

This is all cleared with the Landlord?

 

For long continuous loads such as this, you shouldn't draw more than 12 amps from a 15 amp circuit, or 16 amps from a 20 amp circuit. The full circuit rating is for shorter term loads.

 

I also charge my Prime from my apartment's 120 VAC outlet the amount of current being drawn is about 11.9 amps, there is a noticeable drop in voltage ( about 10 VAC) so I'm usually at about 109VAC when charging, I had a 2012 PIP and a 2015 PIP then finally the Prime bought back in November 2016. I have had no issues charging my cars

 

Is the distance 50’, could you use a shorter cable?
Plugin new version prii have a heat exchanger, the heat from charging is dissipated, so charging at 240v is just faster, who will offer the first fluid battery cooler, I need one.

 

Just to clarify, normal voltage is about 120 volts. At this minute at my house the voltage is 122.1...it'll vary.
I think it was in the 1950's that voltage was upgraded from 110 to 120. An extension cord labeled "heavy duty" is usually #14 gauge, what the rest of us would call moderate duty. If the cord gets warm, don't use it for this service. A #12/3 cord, no longer than necessary, is a good choice. By the way, the cord between the controller and the car is four conductor: two #14 gauge, one #12, and one #18. I think the 14's are the charging power, the #18 is communication between the charger in the car and the controller on the cable, and the #12 is a common ground. Or....???

Modern receptacle circuits have 20 amp circuit breakers. Older places were built with 15 amp circuits. No, you cannot upgrade with a higher rated circuit breaker or fuse. You risk a fire.

The max amperage draw for our cars' charger at 120 volts is 12 amps. That is fine even on a 15 amp circuit if nothing else is running on that circuit. There is no benefit from the slower charging with the modern battery and smart charging system in our cars. The slower charge is for locations with other loads on the circuit so it can't supply 12 amps.

 

Max amps will only go up to 12 amps at a 110 volts.

 

Yes, you should ask for permission. This also allows the facility manager can make sure that you are on a circuit that can safely handle the load.

Long ago, when my business unit moved into a new facility, my group pre-arranged for (and paid for) extra electric circuit capacity in our cubicle area because of our heavy load of test equipment. We needed more power than the basic office layout default. And being electrical guys, we knew exactly what we needed.

A year later, a fledgling IT group moved in just across the partitions, and plugged their disk and server arrays into our circuits without our permission. Boom! So we yanked out their power cords before calling the facility workers to reset the breakers. That set off a squabble between those IT, non-electrical folks who just assumed that any reachable outlets were OK, and my group of engineers who bought and paid for extra capacity, then suffered a major blackout on our equipment benches. So we pulled in management, and forced the IT folks go buy their own extra capacity.

 

You are correct - slow charging is always better than fast charging.

 

Their not aware of it? Are you also charging your car on their dime?
