Using the Primes 120v Charger at 240 Volts, Cost $20 !!!

You are Very Welcome !

Yes, charging up your Prime in 2 to 2 1/2 hours using the stock OE 120v EVSE at 240 volts is EXTREMELY satisfying !!!

I will post up some "build" pictures in the next day or two of me building your 8 gauge 4ft long conversion pigtail.

One of the biggest reasons to use your OE Toyota 120v EVSE at 240 volts with a conversion Pigtail vs a ~$200 dollar China built 240v EVSE is this:

The FREE ~5,000+ miles you'll get driving around on your battery by saving $150 dollars or more.

No, not that I'm aware of.

Personally if it were me, I would plug it in to your 220-240v / 50Hz outlet without fear, I say this because all USA units are marked "120v" with no 240v reference. The only difference I've seen between the European EVSE's and USA EVSE's is the back sticker & country plug, like already stated; It's millions of dollars cheaper for Toyota to manufacturer one single Dual Voltage EVSE for worldwide usage vs manufacturing multiple different EVSE's for all the different countries.

I'm guessing that a US spec Prius Prime got shipped back to his home in the EU, I'm sure he will clarify later.
