Mike, Talkredius; last time I checked with Kevin he said a 3 phase Mennekes EVSE was in prototype stadium with an estimated retail price of L499. I assume you plan to use this EVSE to have the usual "charge 3 roadsters a time" on split phase adapter? Well then check back with Kevin how many phases this EVSE can handle.

The protocol module supports both 1 and 3 phase... our Charging Stations target price remains £299 for 1 phase and £499 for 3 phase

An alternative approach is to use one of hcsharp's short adapters and one of the ZCW Type 1 to Type 2 cables.

just like this

Hi Kevin. I'm a bit confused. Is that 63A end-to-end? And where did you source each piece? And can we? Andrew

Sorry for the confusion... in this photo you will find;

63A Type 2 EVSE (off the shelf parts and ZCW PWM module)

70A Type 1 ("J1772") to Roadster adapter (hcsharp https://sites.google.com/site/thecantesla2j1772/home)

32A Type 2 to Type 1 cable (ZCW http://www.zerocarbonworld.org/shop)

So this is restricted to 32A charging by the ZCW cable.


I do also have 70A Type 2 to Roadster Cable (hcsharp http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showt...l=1#post114971) and when I use that I can charge at 63A

What current is the blue commando plug rated at?

That's a 32A commando plug... now I have hcsharp's 70A Type 2 cable I'll move over to a heavy duty line connector (or fit 63A contacts in a 32A shell)

I'm trying to get to the point where I can charge on any 'simple' socket, Type 1, Type 2, or HPC that I find in the wild with the minimum amount of boot space

Here's the latest 'travel kit'...

Thanks for the clarification. Do you know any source for a 63A M to J cable?

Actually I have gotten one of Henry's 'Can' adaptors a while back. I have a version with the Mennekes socket. Unfortunately I haven't been able to source a cable for it. As far as I understood the 'standard' has changed on the car side this year and now no sockets but plugs are used.

Does anybody know where I could buy a cable from to connect to this?
