I paid $195 for the 22kW one from EVSE.
Future proof + get 7kW on single phase chargers
Can you share the link from where you bought please?
Thanks
its cheaper than what I paid for my 22kw 32amp cable from tesla.
Owners of EV's with single phase 7kW AC charging - don't get the 11kW three phase cable.
You'll end up with 11/3 = 3.66kW instead of 11kW.
I don't think the car charging cable has 3 phases, the wall wiring of the charger (ie the house side) would have the 3 phases.
The phases indicate how many of the three power phases (lines) in the street 'enter' your home, to be distributed safely to all appliances. Those three phases would pass on to the charger. But the charger that enters your car wouldn't be 'three phases'
EVs do in fact charge on all three phases, if available.
The vast majority of wall chargers are just a simple/smart switch. There's no conversion, power is just passed straight through.
I stand corrected. Thanks sammajohnson
Anyone using this ,would this be a good choice or pay more for the 22KW one.
When I charge at home the max output I get is 16A / 11 Kw.
Will it be a good option to invest in the 22 kw or will this be good enough to charge at public places.
16A / 11 Kw - math doesn't check out😀
x3 phases
would these work with a diesel generator?
Yeah well a diesel genny has 32A output ports, so yes, the generator is just supplying power so its no different to a power point.
So yes, it would work.
Depends on your genny of course……if its a bunnings one vs a 50Kva monster….
Is it worth buying and carrying one of these for use with public chargers?
All of the public chargers I've seen already seem to have the cable pre-attached.
these are good for those destination chargers at like supermarkets.
Great to have in a backup situation
I charge at home off 10A which is fine, but I wanted to use public charging.
Most of the public charging I've come across has the cable attached, around 50% of the time.
Then I have this cable I paid $190 for. This can help me charge at 7-11kW. At say 25c per kWh, I need to charge at the supermarket for somewhere between 69-108 hours. If my energy at home is cheaper, which it is in off peak, we're looking at 110 to 170 hours of parking outside Coles to charge the battery.
Then, at $0.25 per kWh, I can extract $2.50 per hour of value max from these things @ 11kW.
Often the chargers are broken or full, so compare getting the cable out and packing it away to save $2.50 per hour I'm at the shops, which is often less than an hour, it just isn't worth it. Compare to parking in the garage and just plugging in the cable like a petrol pump that is holstered on the wall next to the car's charge port.
But I carry it for "insurance" - good to have onboard the vehicle, though I do wonder if it would be better to carry an extension cord and another 10/15A charger onboard, because that would make more sense for my personal circumstances (i.e long distance driving would be to get to the an Airbnb, and I'd charge it there overnight).
It all depends on your usage and also whether you have off street parking with a power outlet, even 10A.
For me, the savings don't make sense at all, but it's useful insurance / peace of mind. I guess I can recoup 50% of the capital cost one day anyway. I also have access to supercharger network which would probably be better insurance and cost nothing other than usage fees, which at $0.68 per kWh or whatever, is probably money better spent.
Not all chargers have their own cables - very few dont have one, but its always a good backup.
MCLAREN?
Hardly…

Lol
11kw 3ph is useless on 1ph, 22kw is not cheap.
I too have a 22kW one for the just in case road ,worth paying a little extra for faster one.
My home charger is 32 amp / 7 kW.
If you can afford an electric car then you can probably afford a few more $$ for a 22kW one
But I don't think any new cars in Australia support 22kw. Also it means they are extra think and extra weight. Most cars only support 11kw max AC charging.
To clarify the 11kW cable does 3 phases x 3.6kW and the 22kW is 3x 7.2kW. So if you only have one phase, you can only get 3.6kW on the 11kW cable. Whereas you can get still 7.2kW on the 22kW cable. Agree it's worth the investment, IF you chose to buy/carry a cable.
I think they are very very few public chargers on single phase. Most of them in aware are 3 phase eg: charge fox once
Don't get confused.
If you only use home socket, all EVs come with one.
If you have a home fast charger, it comes with one too, or should.
If you pay for fAst charge, all comes with cables.
The only time you might need this Type 2 cable is at BYO chargers which are normally free at 7-11kw for top up. So, 22kw is not necessary, for now at least.
Most charge stations use Type 2, some old ones not.
Don’t think it’s 32A for 11kW
