Extremely cursed adapter.

[kestral@masto.hackers.town]

@jonty Is that... an EV AC to 3-pin adapter?

[jessie@mastodon.social]

@jonty does it make a satisfying clicky sound when you open the plastic shield?

[jonty@chaos.social]

@kestral Why, yes is is. Also 2 pin. Also all the pins worldwide.

[jonty@chaos.social]

Now if you don't mind I'm off to plug our toastie maker into the car charger on the street

[yvan@toot.ale.gd]

@jonty what kinda 3-phase socket is that?

[kestral@masto.hackers.town]

@jonty well where else are you going to plug in your Hot Wax Strip Unsightly Hair Remover when the rest of the crew are trying to power the main console?

@jonty someone been watching Matt Gray?

[jonty@chaos.social]

@yvan It's a CCS2 electric car charging socket

[yvan@toot.ale.gd]

@jonty ah, righty!

I am unfamilliar with EV plugs! Just saw the L1/L2/L3/PE/N and assumed some weird kinda 3P+N+E I didn't recognise. Which I guess it is... kinda... plus some...

[ben@bluetoot.hardill.me.uk]

@jonty Didn't @mattgrayyes build something like this recently to charge his bike?

[knud@mastodon.social]

@jonty

Now please show the wiring scheme!

[knud@mastodon.social]

@jonty

On second thought maybe don't...

[uint8_t@chaos.social]

@jonty @yvan it isn’t CCS! just the Mennekes Type2 (AC) part of the Type2 CCS

[rbairwell@mastodon.org.uk]

@jonty And there @mattgrayyes is cursing that they made their own electric car to electric bike conversion plug from scratch...

[jarkman@chaos.social]

@jonty what kind of terrifying voltage does that give you?

[barnoid@mastodon.me.uk]

@jarkman @jonty Only the usual 230V (assuming they've not connected across phases or something, but most chargers won't have multiple phases) but it can pull up to 7kW so mind your fuses

[jarkman@chaos.social]

@barnoid @jonty speed toasties!

[barnoid@mastodon.me.uk]

@jarkman The terrifying thing is that you could stick US plug in that socket

[tamonten@mstdn.social]

@jarkman @jonty Yes.

@jonty@chaos.social i love how companies on aliexpress don't stop to think if they should make an adapter from one standard to another, just that they can
