Anyone using the J1772 adapter?

[benswing]

Yes, but I use it with an external charger since the onboard charger will only charge at 1kW regardless of input voltage.

I do but I have yet to use it, any questions about it?  It just runs the proper wires from the J1772 to the NEMA 5-15 (computer-style) plug.  No intelligence in it as far as I'm aware.  I could bring it in tomorrow and try it out, I just don't usually like taking up the L2 parking spots when 110V charges just as fast (err, slow) and I'm full when I come out at the end of the work day regardless.  I just bought it for flexibility.

I have two Quiq chargers from Zero (not the best deal ever it sounds like, I might look into something more powerful some day), but I could probably use a splitter like this to run both of them off a J1772, then Y those back into the quick-charge port on the bike.

Seems an unlikely situation though.

I've yet to track down a NEMA 14-50 to C13 plug so I've never had a way to run my chargers on the 220V in my garage.

I build my own for less than $100.

I wanted to have it available 'just in case', but never actually needed it.

Thank you for all the responses. I was looking to see who had them and used them. I really like the idea of building my own as I thought $400 seemed a little much for basically an adapter.
