Your Tesla screen shows charging at 13 miles/hr. @30amps. With 14-50 plug connected to your mobile charger, the tesla system thinks it can charge at the full capacity of the charger or up to 32 amps. Since the TT-30 RV plug is rated for 30amps, the sustained charging requires that the charger be reduced to 24 amps max. This can be adjusted on the Tesla screen. When properly de-rated to 24 amps you will likely charge at 9 or 10 miles/hr. not 13.

Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.

The NEMA TT-30 receptacle can be easily converted to a 30 amp 240 volt NEMA 6-30 outlet. This will double your charging speed. One only needs to replace the receptacle and the circuit breaker. The existing wire run back to your panel can be reused.

Good to see you back making videos Bill! Looking forward to the Tesla content also!

Thanks!

Gonna try this hopefully it works thank you 🙏🏻

Cool let me know how it goes. I've since added a 120V 15Amp outlest on my drive which I now use but it only provides 5 miles per hour of charge. That works for us because we generally drive under 20 miles of distance per day.

Have you had any problems so far with this method? I’m about to buy an adapter for my rv outlet I’m just worried about the horror stories of improper ev charging 😂

[@LaurieandBillRetired]

No problems using it over a one year period. Recently we moved to using 120V 15 Amp outlet we had installed lower on our driveway so we no longer use the RV outlet. The Tesla adjusts automatically to voltage and amps used.

You should be fine just make sure you set your charging limit to 80% of your circuits rated output (24A) for a 30A circuit and I highly recommend going up to a 240V circuit if possible
