I'm wanting to do an EV charger hookup as easy and cost effective as possible. Probably only use it a couple weekends a year at a cabin site far from the grid. I've read as much as could and watched hours of YouTube. I have plenty of solar panels, but haven't bought an inverter yet. I had been looking at getting a split phase to charge only when the sun shines. I recently ran across a nema 30tt plug adapter (older travel trailer connection) that a Tesla will charge at 24 amps on 110v. From some reading, the Tesla chargers will accept 32 amps on 110v, maybe more amps. I understand enough to know that amps X volts is watts, so wether the car is charging at 240v at 15 amps or 110v at 30 amps, the car is getting the same wattage.
So, if you have a 6000w inverter, you could do 240v 30 amp or 110v 60 amps. If the cars accepts higher amperage 110v, why do people do split phase?
Second question is, knowing higher amps and lower voltage demands thicker wiring, can you use a nema 10-50 cable without one hot as that's the standard Tesla connection? If I could get 35 amps from 110v safely to charge, I'd be set.
Thoughts?
Also someone needs to do a slow DC charger that hooks directly to solar so people don't have to spend hours searching this stuff.
