Have you checked Temu or Shein?

@paco Back in the days the fuel gauge was placed either to the left or to the right (switching place with the temperature gauge), depending on which side the fuel filler was. The little arrow did away with this practice, but instead manufacturing had two types of fuel gauges to deal with.

@paco I knew that moment would be popular, I mean....what the hell?!

@paco Man. I was really hoping BALLS would be bigger.

@RobynGoodfellow I think orb and crystal diluted balls.

@h3artbl33d
?? Tell a guy who wrote a book on BSD 20 years ago to abandon Linux? I’ve been using FreeBSD longer than a lot of people have been using computers.Not trying to turn it into a dick-sizing contest, but I genuinely don’t get the point of that terse message.
-
@h3artbl33d no worries. It’s one of those times where the message was so short and we don’t know each other, so the tone didn’t come through. I can see the joke now.
And the book is 20 years old. Just as FreeBSD 5 was coming out. there isn’t much to learn there. Don’t waste your money or time.
All I meant about the breath of fresh air is that I’ve been doing disk partitioning the hard way on FreeBSD so long (even sometimes using sysinstall to avoid the CLI tools) that this was super easy and nice.

@paco You can get a configurable EVSE that will limit what it will draw. As an example, I have a J+ Booster that I have set to 24A on my 30A circuit. I do use an adapter since it came with a 14-50 plug.
Adapters are kinda frowned upon for these kinds of cases, but so long as you can limit the draw, it should be fine.
In your case, I'd probably limit it to 16A or 20A since it's shared with something else and you want to follow the 80% rule on a circuit.
-
@paco I have 2 'mobile' EVSE chargers that have adaptors for various plugs - none for this plug type though.
Both of the chargers allow you configure the maximum amps to allow the car to pull, since, as you note, some of these plugs are for lower amp circuits. By default, for safety, the chargers are configured for low amps until you tell them otherwise.
An external adaptor should be ok for short periods. Heat can be a problem for long charging, so quality matters here.
Here's one of my chargers on Amazon, with photos of the 4 adaptors it comes with.

@bedast Super helpful! Thanks!

@craz8 awesome. Super appreciate it.

@paco Not keen on pigtails. If the charger's not hard wired, perhaps have a socket added to match the plug it ships with.
-
@paco you want to look for RV style adapters to get you to the right plug and make aure your L2 charger can handle the max 50A but I would get a consult from an electrician to ensure you have perhaps have a limiter on the EV plug so you don't overdo it and keep Code happy

@lopta can’t add just a socket that is the right shape. That’s a 50A plug. I’d have to have an electrician add a 50A circuit behind that socket. I don’t have that kind of capacity left in my panel. I have a LOT of electric stuff going on. Electricians told me I’m pretty much full. That’s why I need an adapter for the plugs I have, and some method of making sure it doesn’t draw more than I can handle.

@paco Perhaps a 4kW charger that plugs into a NEMA 6-20? Modest but a nice step up from 120V 15A.

@chris no no, you misunderstand. My 240V circuits have 30A breakers and a standing load of 1-2A. I need to make sure the charger does NOT try to pull more than 20A, and I need to use the circuits and sockets I have.
