I would suggest you to change your NEMA L6-30P for a J1772 Inlet, you just
need to put the right resistor-diode values on the pilot & proximity leads
in order the EVSE can recognize the plug is connected and that's it. You'll
have access to all the public J1772 chargers all around your area. And in
case you need a charge other different than a standard J1772, You need that
adapter cable based on a J1772 PLUG on one end, and plug on the other (maybe
your NEMA L6-30P). Then, from this last plug, you may build the extra
adapters you require, even a 120V 15/20Amp plug can be used since you have
an universal input charger.

In fact you would only need to but a set of J1772 Plug & Inlet.
(http://www.tucsonev.com) I think this will give you a very easy way to
charge up at work and you won't even need to take any cables from trunk/back
since the cable and the Plug is already part from the new EVSEs being
installed at your place.

Another benefit you can have, In a future... is that once connected to a L2
charger you could add an extra onboard charged in parallel to actual so you
can take advantage of the 30A available there and have a double/triple
charge up time. Adding a simple sensing 120-240V circuit; would turn the
second charger off automatically when L1 connected.

Asunto: [EVDL] J1772 Thoughts

I just learned two interesting facts about J1772 today.  My employer is
about to upgrade our 3 Level 1 outlets (120V/20A) to 2 dual-plug ChargePoint
CT4000 stations.  This will increase our charging capability from Level 1 to
7.2kW Level 2 and increase the number of charging cars to 4.  Great news so
far.  The Leaf owners will be ecstatic.

The first thing I learned is that latest-technology EVSEs ONLY support
J1772.  There is no support for 120V outlets in the station.  Unfortunately,
we have several early adopters that don't have J1772 ports.  These include
my conversion, a Solectria Force with a Zivan charger, and a couple of
electric motorcycles.  Since the old outlets are being removed to put in the
new stations, we have to do something.

The second thing I learned is that I am suddenly WAY more interested in a
J1772 adapter than I used to be!  Since my charger is dual-voltage, I at
least have the option of doing an adapter.  Some of the other vehicles will
be much more difficult.

Since I have a twistlock receptacle (NEMA L6-30P) under my gas flap, and
already have 220V-twistlock and 110V-twistlock adapter cords, I'm looking
for a J1772 to twistlock adapter.  I don't think such a thing exists, so I
will probably have to make my own.  I don't really feel like converting my
car and all my pigtails to J1772-compatible.  Call me lazy.  And cheap.  I
also don't feel bad about connecting J1772 to my twistlock connector since
it is rated for 250V/30A.

I've seen discussion on the list for Rush Doughterty's adapter box and/or
bare J1772 socket.  That sounds like it could work and I could then wire
that to a female twistlock connector.

Other thoughts on how to get J1772 support into a conversion?  My charger is
an Elcon 2000+, so I'm never going to get the benefit of the J1772.  I will
be drawing about 10A on the 220V line.
