My RV space comes equipped with a 120V NEMA 5-15 outlet as well, so my wife and I can plug into either the 240V or the 120V chargers and never have to change the amperage settings. The 120V just charges at half the speed. My commute is only 10 miles round trip, so the trickle charge is fast enough.
The Corded Mobile Connector features a NEMA 14-50 plug and improved charging speeds in comparison to the Mobile Connector with NEMA 5-15 Adapter. Includes: 1x NEMA 14-50 Corded Mobile Connector - 20’ cable 1x storage bag Corded Mobile Connector Manual Note: The Corded Mobile Connector is...
It is very important to know that in the RV world, 50 Amp service is 240 Volts at 50 Amps from the NEMA 14-50 receptacle that you can plug an MC240 into. On the other hand 30 Amp service is 120 Volts at 30 Amps from a TT-30 receptacle.
Comparing the 2 outlets recommended by Tesla with the sub $10 big box model as well as the one I think you should buy 1. Hubbell 9450a 2. Bryant 9450fr 3. Cooper 5754n 4. Leviton 279-S00 The Hubbell and Bryant are far and away the superior product here and since Hubbell owns Bryant and these...
The Mobile Connector that is included with every Tesla vehicle can accept different NEMA 120V and 240V power plugs; this Mobile Connector is limited to a maximum of charging at 240V and 32 amps; Tesla sells a corded Mobile Connector that is fitted with a fixed 14-50 power plug, that can be safely used to charge the Tesla vehicle at up to 40 amps.
Unfortunately, you can't easily convert a NEMA 10-50 outlet into a NEMA 14-50 outlet, or even a NEMA 6-50 outlet. As you mention in your initial post, the NEMA 10-50 outlet is hot-hot-neutral and is missing the ground conductor. NEMA 6-50 is hot-hot-ground, and NEMA 14-50 is hot-hot-neutral-ground. Both of these require a ground conductor.
Use a variety of household outlets to charge your Tesla with a Gen 2 NEMA Adapter. Simply attach the appropriate adapter to your Mobile Connector, plug into the corresponding outlet and begin charging.
One reason, in the US the NEMA 14-50 is commonly found at RV parks and campgrounds. The NEMA 6-50 is more common in Canada less common in the US. In US homes the 14-50 is usually installed in the kitchen for electric ranges and ovens. The 6-50 is used for welding equipment, not much else.
NEMA 14-50 is dead - all hail NEMA 6-50 As discussed, 6-50 and 14-50 are both 50 amp capable receptacles. The only difference is whether they have a neutral pin or not. I am curious what the future will hold for EV charging receptacles. 6-50 could very well become the standard due to the fact that neutral is totally un-necessary.
The NEMA 14-50 is the standard plug for 50 amp service at state and national parks. Many state parks only have 30 amp (120 volt) service. For that you need a TT-30 adaptor.
