14-50 Nema converter to 30 AMP female
So I just installed a 14-50 Nema outlet to charge my electric vehicle. I believe it's 240v, but as far as I know it pulls it from 2x120v. Can I use an adapter and plug my 30AMP 110v trailer to it? Wil...

50 amp is 120/240 just like at home. 240 L1 to L2. 120 volts L1 to neutral and L2 to neutral just like at home. Yes you can use and RV dog bone to hook up to your 30 amp 120 trailer.
Yep. We have two Electric vehicles. We routinely use 14-50 or TT30 receptacles for charging the cars. The 240 volt 14-50 is literally 6 times as fast as the TT30 as the EVSE detects 120 volts on the TT30 and automatically switches to 12 amp max. On the 14-50 it detects 240 and allows 27 amps. We gave both a 14-50 and TT30 on our property.
