The road trip pauses to enjoy the hospitality of good friends at their lovely home in the Atlanta burbs. I borrow the wall outlet being used by the workshop wood lathe in the garage. This requires a special adapter for my EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) which adds a dongle to interface with this particular socket. Following a DYI allowed fabrication in advance of the visit.

This socket is 220v but 15 amp rated. I’m able to pull nearly 4kW from it. This not the most efficient setup; the onboard chargers like 10kW and can take up to 20kW. A 40 amp circuit would provide the 10kW which would allow for a faster overnight charge but I’m happy for the convenience on this location as the typical household outlet is only 115v. Thank you gracious host & hostess for the juice!
