Efficient Level 2 charging, perfect for legacy 3-prong utility outlets.
The NEMA 6-30 Level 2 EV Charger provides a strong charging solution by utilizing existing 240V, 30-amp utility circuits often found in older garages and workshops. This charger typically delivers up to 24 amps (5.7 kW) of continuous power. It is compatible with all electric vehicles using the J1772 connector, and Tesla drivers can connect using a Tesla-to-J1772 adapter.
Choosing the right plug type depends on your outlet setup, charging needs, and installation environment.
| Plug Type | Power Output | Outlet Uses | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEMA 5-15 | 120V, 12A | Standard household outlet | Very slow charging (~3–5 miles/hr). Best for hybrids. |
| NEMA 6-20 | 240V, 16A | Older garages & workshops | Moderate Level 2 charging (~8–14 miles/hr). |
| NEMA 6-30 | 240V, 16A | Utility circuits, older setups | Up to ~20 miles/hr. |
| NEMA 14-30 | 240V, 24A | High-power household circuits | Typical dryer outlet |
| NEMA 6-50 | 240V, 40A | Workshops/garages | Fastest plug-in charging (25-32 miles/hr). 3-prong. |
| NEMA 14-50 | 240V, 40A | RV outlets, modern homes | Fastest plug-in charging (25-32 miles/hr). 3-prong. |
All EV Chargers come with a 12-month limited warranty and dedicated customer support. Whether you charge indoors or outdoors, at home or on the road, our NEMA 6-30 chargers are built for durability, safety, and peace of mind.
All J1772 EVs are compatible, including Tesla models with an adapter.
Both offer the same max charging speed (24A/5.7kW), but the 6-30 is a 3-prong plug typically found on older utility circuits, while the 14-30 is a 4-prong plug that includes a neutral wire and is used in modern residential circuits.
Yes. Any charging that utilizes 240V power (like the 6-30) is considered Level 2 charging, offering significantly faster speeds than the standard 120V (Level 1) wall outlet.
If you already have a NEMA 6-30 outlet in the desired location, no—you simply plug in the charger. However, if you need to install the 6-30 outlet, we always recommend professional installation by a certified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
No. While it’s common in older construction (often used for machinery or utility equipment), the NEMA 6-30 is a fully valid 30-amp, 240V plug that provides safe and reliable Level 2 charging. It’s an excellent, cost-effective charging option if the outlet is already installed and meets current electrical code standards.
The NEMA 6-30 delivers a maximum of 24 amps (5.7 kW), which typically adds 14–21 miles of range per hour. This is perfect for overnight charging. While faster chargers (like the NEMA 6-50 or 14-50) can offer more miles per hour, the 6-30’s speed is more than enough to fully recharge most EVs overnight.
