Nema TT-30 EV Chargers
Charge your EV at RV parks, campgrounds, and other outdoor spaces with 30-amp 120 volt service. It is known as the TT-30 camper outlet. The TT-30 EV charger is exclusively made by EV-Chargers. The charger is designed to for TT-30 plug type EV charging and sets the max charging rate to ensure charging within allowable safety limits and avoid unwanted breaker trips.
The TT-30 120 volt plug receptacle is a common plug type found in many national parks, campgrounds, recreational RV parks and other outdoor stay facilities. The use of a dedicated TT-30 plug type avoids the use of adapters and extension cables, which are less safe since the EV charger loses its ground detection capability. Compatible with any 120 volt, 1-pole 30 amp outlet
The power on the EV-charger can be set to 12, 16 and 20 amps so as not to overload the circuit and trip the circuit breaker or wiring. These amps are also the levels that most EVs will allow when the voltage is 120 (current limited by the car). Most car manufacturers limit 120 volt charging to 12, 16 or 20 amps due to software-imposed limitations and standard for the J1772 or Tesla connector. For most vehicles this would provide 4-8 miles of range per hour of charging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is level 2 EV charging?
Level 2 EV charging is the most popular of residential EV charging. Level 2 EV charging includes anything generally from 20 amps to 48 amps and at a nominal 240 volts. Level 2 EV charging generally means it is a lot quicker than level 1 EV charging.
What is the most popular level 2 EV charger?
Level 2 EV charging grew in popularity following the launch of the Tesla residential EV charger range. The most popular plug-in level 2 EV charger is the NEMA 14-50 type (NEMA 14-50 refers to the name of the receptacle).
Why did Level 2 EV charging increase in popularity?
It increased in popularity due to Tesla launching level 2 EV chargers, the increase in electric only EVs (bigger batteries) and the recognition of level 2 plug receptacles being already available in some homes.
What voltage is level 2 EV charging?
It normally operates between 208 and 240 volts depending on local supply. AEFA EV chargers will work at all voltage levels within this range.
Should I upgrade from a level 1 EV charger?
Level 2 charging simply is the fastest available charging you can find at home. A level 2 EV Charger will provide typical charge times of 6-8 hours for electric vehicles. It also avoids the lines at commercial charging stations and with full overnight charges, reduces range anxiety., Typically, your electric vehicle will come with a level 1 charger, taking much longer to charge than a level 2 charger.
Which plugs use level 2 charging?
The following U.S. National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) plug types can provide the voltage and current capacity for level 2 electric vehicle charging – NEMA 6-20, NEMA 6-30, NEMA 14-30, NEMA L14-30, NEMA 6-50 and NEMA 14-50. NEMA 10-50 and NEMA 10-30 J1722 EV chargers are capable of level 2 charging but neither plug has a grounding wire and often a neutral wire is used instead, which creates an electrical safety hazard during or after charging.
