Charging from dryer plug

[Pbear16]

This is the adapter I used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086SSNKJP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Need to set the Porsche charger to 50% load. I was using the base charger included with the car.

Thanks to all the responders. Obviously above my pay grade so I called an electrician. By the way, is it worth getting a Tesla adapter in case there are no other charging stations available (when traveling)?

There are suggestions on this thread that would lead a DIY'er to believe they can figure out how to manage their own install or buy some device that splits the current between the dryer and EVSE. You can't do it safely and the codes are changing so what is recommended now may not be down the road. An EV is going to pull a lot of current for a lot longer than a dryer or any other electrical device in your home. It needs special attention and it needs quality components. More akin to a commercial than consumer install.

Get a qualified electrician AND one who is knowledgeable on installing EVSE's. The risk of an installation gone wrong is fire/damage/injury. You won't get any warranties from anyone on the advice they provide

My recollection is that the Admin posted a thread on this which basically got ignored.

What adapter would I need?

I have the same outlet right now to charge a tesla model y. I should have a taycan coming in next year. I looked into getting this to charge it.

I looked at the same converter from 10-30 to 14-30 adapter but i think just getting this splitvolt charger will be safer.
