EV Charging station & RV use
It seems that electric vehicles have a couple standards for charging stations but the ones that are free (like Volta) likely have a J1772 plug. It'd be great to just get 30A out of it. Anyone seen any...

The Tesla used $0.25 of electric. I think the bike was similar. We didn't charge either.
They can usually use adapters to plug into most anything but will charge more slowly.
I'm really curious why they bothered to stop for $0.25 of electric...depending on rates that's 1-2kwh...not enough range to really be worth the trouble to stop.
They were fully charged in a couple of hours.
Huh?
Did they pull in at a 95% SOC?
A basic Model S takes 75+ kW/h to charge it to ‘full’ from ‘empty’ on the dash. Connected to a typical 240 volt supply at recommended charge rates that’s about 30 miles per hour, or about 10 hours for a full charge.
You’re saying the Tesla was fully charged with only 1 or 2 kW/h of power?
