Hi folks. I had to take a pic for the Facebook EV towing group so I thought I would post it here as well. This is more specifically aimed at those EV’s using the Tesla mobile charge cable but since any EV can use a tesla mobile cable (with a J1772 adapter) I’ll direct this at all EV’s.
Anyway. If you are just starting your EV tow vehicle journey wether that be with a Rivian, a Lightning or a Tesla these are the adaptors we have used most often over the last 12000 kilometres of towing with an EV using our Tesla EVSE seen in the picture. From left to right.
14-50 Good for max 32 amps at 240 volts on a 50 amp pedestal.
5-15. Good for 12 amps at 120 volts on a standard 15 amp receptacle.
5-20. Good for 16 amps at 120 volts on a standard 20 receptacle (getting really common on pedestals.
TT30. Good enough for 24 amps on a standard 30 amp RV pedestal.
Keep in mind that if the line voltage sags the EVSE (charge cable) will detect this and lower the charge by either 25 or 50 percent depending how low it is.
By far and away the most useful was the TT30 as 50 amp receptacles are rare up here in the places we camp.
Hope this is useful.
