calidude Posted April 24, 2017 at 03:58 AM Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 at 03:58 AM Hi! I just bought my 2017 Energi today. What a beautiful car. Can't wait to drive it! My apartment complex has a charging box where I can plug in. The problem is the receptacle is for a NEMA 6-50 240V plug. This is a 32amp box and most chargers on the market are NEMA 6-20 (16amp). Is there an adapter I can use? I've searched the internet and haven't been able to find one. I'm clueless on the electrical part but I'm assuming the amps (16 vs 32) has a lot to do with it. Please help!!! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyersnole Posted April 24, 2017 at 04:54 AM Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 at 04:54 AM (edited) There are many people on this site that are very happy with Clipper Creek https://store.clippercreek.com/hcs-40pr-nema-6-50 If you are asking about an adapter for the charger that came with the car, that one is not 240v but standard 120v 15amp circuit. So that would be the wrong outlet to plug into. More on Level 1 (120v charging) and Level 2 (240v charging) https://www.clippercreek.com/level-1-level-2-charging-stations/ Edited April 24, 2017 at 05:05 AM by meyersnole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
