I bought this charger off Amazon back in November when I got my Volt- it's been working well and matches the Volt's max 16 amp draw. I have just what is on the ebay deal no adapter cord. Apparently yes it can adapt down to 120v with a adapter cord, removes one of the hots for a ground I believe. The backwards can be done with a standard volt charger, the unit is exactly the same but the cord is different for 220v Europe markets. I thought about doing that but then I would end up forgetting it at home and not have a charger onboard. As well the Volt is limited to 12 amps at either voltage so probably a whole extra hour to fast charge, so impatient lol. Like most reviews the J1772 plug is a little tight but not overwhelming if you have any arm strength.
