My wife need to be at Hotel that has a the standard NEMA 5-20 (with a 20 Amp breaker because its a commercial setting) in the garage. How much charge can be drawn on it using the Tesla mobile connector? I tried to search but could not find any chart for that. At 80% draw that should be around 16 Amp. How many miles per hour would that add to the Model Y? This will help figure out how many times she needs to hit the Supercharger that is far off. Thanks

Please ignore, I found it. It was right on Tesla website:

So it will be about 7 miles per hour.

Mobile Connector is useful when you’re away from home and on extended trips. View the charging speed based on your model and adapter.

Yes, but only if she has the 5-20 adapter for the UMC. If she just has the 5-15 adapter the UMC will only think its a 15 amp circuit and will only take 12 amps, or 5 miles an hour.Please ignore, I found it. It was right on Tesla website:

No, she would need one of these. The little pigtail tells the portable charger what type of circuit it is on. Tesla has these pigtails for $35/each for a variety of outlets.

Use a variety of household outlets to charge your Tesla with a Gen 2 NEMA Adapter. Simply attach the appropriate adapter to your Mobile Connector, plug into the corresponding outlet and begin charging. Adapter Max Distance Gained Per Hour of Charge Model S Model 3 Model X Model Y 5-15 3...

No; You can either use the 5-15 plug adapter that comes with the Mobile Connector or you would use the 5-20 plug adapter (sold separately at Tesla.com; cost $35.) Assuming you received or purchased the Mobile Connector when you purchased your Model Y; the current price of the Mobile Connector is $230 and includes the 5-15 plug adapter and the 240V 14-50 plug adapter. The 5-15 plug adapter would add 3 to 4 miles per hour, the 5-20 would add 6 to 7 miles per hour while charging.

Are these outlets specifically provided for EV charging? If not, I'd be wary of pushing them to 16a because of the chance that there will be other things plugged into the circuit.
We don't know. Its at a hotel in Maine where she will be visiting. Maine does not have many superchargers. She will be there for 4 days with some local travel.
Thanks, I will be ordering the 5-20 connector from Tesla. Its good to have it just in case. We already have the 5-15 connector that came with it.
