A:  Tesla electric vehicles come with their own charging connector, which is not the standard J1772 connector used by many other electric vehicle manufacturers. To charge a Tesla with a J1772 charging station, you would typically need a Tesla adapter or connector that converts the J1772 plug to Tesla's proprietary connector. The charging station has a 48A output capacity, and it uses a NEMA 14-50 plug, which is commonly used for higher-power EV charging.

A:  The cable length is 20 feet long (6 meters).

A:  Under the National Electrical Code (NEC), continuous current (which applies to EV chargers), should be 80% of the total current that can be provided by the circuit breaker to avoid any electrical related incidents. A NEMA 14-50 outlet should be running at 40A continuous current only.

A:  To estimate the charging speed in miles per hour (mph) for an electric vehicle (EV) using the V-BOX Charging Station at 40 amps, we first need to calculate the charging power it provides. Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) x Current (Amps) The V-BOX Charging Station has a 48A rating, but you plan to charge at 40 amps. Let's assume the voltage is 240V (standard for Level 2 charging in North America): Power = 240V x 40A = 9,600 Watts Now, we need to convert the power from watts to kilowatts since the charging speed is typically given in terms of miles of range added per hour (mph): Power (kW) = 9600 Watts / 1000 = 9.6 kW To estimate the charging speed in mph, we need to consider the vehicle's efficiency and battery capacity. Let's assume an average electric vehicle efficiency of 4 miles per kilowatt-hour (4 miles/kWh): Charging Speed (mph) = Power (kW) x Efficiency (miles/kWh) Charging Speed (mph) = 9.6 kW x 4 miles/kWh = 38.4 mph So, when plugged into the 12,000 watt continuous output generator with a 50 amp plug and using the V-BOX Charging Station at 40 amps, you can expect to charge your EV at an approximate rate of 38.4 miles per hour. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and actual charging speed may vary slightly based on factors such as the specific vehicle, battery state, and other charging inefficiencies.

A:  The V-BOX Charging Station being a Level 2 EV Charger with a NEMA 14-50 plug, is likely designed to offer a fixed charging rate (in this case, 48 amps) at 240 volts for J1772-compatible electric vehicles. Level 2 chargers are commonly used for residential and commercial charging and provide faster charging compared to Level 1 chargers.
