Thanks for pointing out my error Rush. However, 7.4 kw is pretty standard.
Still a good value. I have both EVs. Doesn't matter to me. I base my choice
ultimately on price. It's just a contactor with a couple of circuits. DIY kits
are $300. The Tesla Mobile is a bargain. Seems like a no-brainer. Another
however, I looked at your site and you're selling a 40 amp portable for $315
including shipping in the lower 48. That looks like an option if you want a
little more headroom. Lawrence Rhodes

Lawrence - the current Tesla Mobile Connector (UMC GEN 2)

Is only 32A capable. Scroll down to where "Charge rates for optional adapters"
starts and you'll see -
"NEMA 6-50
240 volt / 50 amp breaker
Maximum 32 amp output
Buy adapter for Gen 2 Mobile Connector"
The UMC Gen 1 was 40A capable.
