110v to J1772 Charging

(1/2) > >>

jazz999:
Do you think something like this would work for the Enertia charging?  My city has been adding many more j1772 stations but no 110v so I cannot use them.

To update this.  I was told by the manufacturer that this would work.  Any opinions

Two different things.

1. http://300mpg.org/2015/03/31/the-diy-j1772-charging-adapter/

This is a J1772 inlet to allow you to connect an non-J1772 charging equipment to a J1772 supply, like most commercial car charging stations. Assuming that your charging equipment is compatible with 240V.

This should work fine to let you plug the Enertia charger into a J1772 EVSE. Note that this WILL NOT increase the speed that you charge at, and depending on the station may be quite expensive. Blink charges $0.04/minute for members, you're using approximately $0.0016 of electricity per minute. 2500% markup!

2. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VIKM62Q/

This is portable J1772 EVSE to allow you to connect a J1772 charger to a non-J1772 supply.

You're adding a lot of weight and cost for flexibility; in effect these two things together do the same thing as a $5 IEC C19 cable (connect 120V wall plug to vehicle for charging), but also give you more flexibility to plug into a J1772 supply or later to connect another type of J1772 EV to a 120V or 240V wall supply.

Thanks, appreciate the info. I think I read somewhere that the Enertia can handle 240v but not sure.  Anyway, I just want to be able to charge it.  I don't really want to add the additional weight but lack of 120v pluggins is making it difficult to charge away from home.  My work is putting in 4 charging stations but they will only be J1772 only.    Thanks again

 :(  They just added a new charging station right next to my office but level 2 only no 110v....sadly
