You can buy a Clipper Creek unit on Amazon for a price of $400 -$600,
making your use to friends (both current and newly found) much more
convenient.
If we were expected to carry our L2 with us everywhere that we went, most
public installations would be a simple Nema 14-50 receptacle. Which would
But, in order to use the NEMA 14-50 plug, you have to bring your EVSE to adapt
between the outlet and the J1772 plug in the car. I think Tom's statement
would be true if he added "with standard equipment". If most users have to
bring an EVSE to use the outlet, I think that would reduce the
No manufactured ev other than Tesla with an adapter can make use of your NEMA
14-50. They all use either standard 120V outlet, L1, or require a J1772
plug to use L2. I also charge with a NEMA 14-50 at home and at RV parks and
have a charger that can use its full power, but I also have a J1772

A friend who does electrical work in the North Bay here stopped by

to ask
The short answer is that J1772 is the default that is the easiest way for any
commercial EV driver to charge. That does require an EVSE, at least at some
level. If he was installing 220V service for L2, that would be the way to go.
If installing L1, the cars generally have some sort of
Have you checked into or considered an RV Electrical box? It has both a 220 and
2- 110/120 volt outlets and if I remember correctly, it is rated at 30 amps. It
could be rated higher, but I can't remember for sure as it has been a little
