Just to correct a few things....The plug you have is a NEMA 14-50 plug not a NEMA 6-50 plug. The NEMA 6-50 has only 3 prongs not 4 and is less common. However, you are correct that the NEMA 14-50 is the standard for a washer/dryer. Secondly, your charge connector is called a J-1772 connector which is the defacto standard for Level-2 charging (even Tesla provides a NACS-to-J1772 adapter for home charging). The J-1772 is the top half of the CCS-1 plug which was designed to be compatible with J-1772 to reduce the size of charging receptacles on cars by reusing the J-1772 that was already there. There is a lower half to the CCS-1 connector that is not part of your plug. Nissan Leaf and some other Japanese made plug-ins like the Mitsubushi Outlander PHEV must have 2 separate ports to accommodate both J-1772 Level 2 charging and DC fast charging via CHAdemo (the Japanese DC-fast charging standard).. That is why their hatches that open for charging are so large. The Tesla NACS plug is the most compact and accommodates Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3 DC fast charging all in one small plug. I am surprised CCS-1 ever caught on when Tesla had already published NACS as an open standard -- so glad EV makers are by-and-large switching to Tesla's NACS. Those of us who own J-1772 and CCS-1 vehicles will likely be the ones buying adapters in the future.
Thanks for the correction and clarification.
Very helpful video. I got a ChargePoint Flex charger, very happy about it.
It's been super reliable. No issues.
Awesome, thanks for sharing, happy home charging! ⚡
The actual ChargePoint in the comments of my tiny video ❤
Good Chargepoint information but you mention in the video that the receptacle and plug are a NEMA 6-50 but it is actually a 14-50. A 6-50 only has 3 prongs vs. 4 on the 14-50.
Sorry my bad!
Very explicit hepfull
It's been reliable over nearly 3 years now
Negative terminal is supposed to be at the top of outlet. Shouldn’t have that 90 degree bend in the cable.
That's how our electrician installed it. He said it is to code, but I see your point.
@@rmreviews3000code is ground on top. That wouldn't pass inspection if you pulled a permit to get it installed.
Is it possible to secure this in an underground shared garage?
Not sure what you mean by secure? Can you stop someone from stealing off the wall? No. Can you stop someone from using it? No.
I got a 2021 Porsche Tycan 2 days ago and I'm looking for EV charger, do you think this will work with my porsche.. TheTaycan is equipped with two charging ports for maximum charging compatibility, the driver side with a J1772 AC charging socket, and the passenger side with a CCS Combo socket with AC and DC charging capabilities. would you recommend it?
It will work with any vehicle that supports J1772 in North America.
Does your wiring get warm during charging?
It does not. I have 40 amp service to the car.
And soon every single car will have the NACS connecter so it pays to get the NACS version if you have a Tesla.
Agreed
Charger works great but the phone app sucks . Can’t schedule by the day, only weekends or weekdays. Lazy app
App started out fine, but they later updates made it worse. Still, you can schedule from your car so it's not a big deal to me.
