Here’s the previous EV charging thread: EV charging at VHS
Our electrician put a couple multi-purpose 240V outlets under that panel at the north-west corner of the building, for EV charging or whatever else. Unfortunately neither of my two EVSEs work with this power, because it is corner-tied delta 3phase with 240V between phases. Since it’s corner-tied, the phases all measure different voltages to ground, and the EVSEs give error lights and refuse to work. It’s possible that some other EVSE would work with this power. It’s also possible that a different combination of phases would work with my EVSE, but I only tested with the electrician wired up to the 240V outlet.
I still charge regularly (and reimburse VHS for the power) but I have to use the massive NEMA 14-50 extension cord running to the 240V outlets in the welding area (which are fed from our single-phase service).
Anyways just wanted to provide this context.
I would love to have more accessible EV charging at VHS. Charging while parked on the street seems sketchy to me, partly because on my car this would mean the charger would stick out of my car on the street side. If somebody wants to charge while parked on the street, I have no problem with that, but spending any money or effort for infrastructure for this purpose seems like a bad idea to me.
At the rear of VHS there is room for two cars to be parked. This is perfect for member EV charging IMO. You can already use 120V outlets just inside the sliding door, and various 240V sources are available there as well.
