[ausev] CALLING ALL EV-ers - outlet configurations?

[Claire Sorenson]

I have a 14-50 plug and receptacle, 220v.  It is connected to a 40 amp
breaker.  It has 4 prongs, 3 are flat and one is round.

Can you describe the plug? How many amps does the outlet provide?  Does the
plug have 4 prongs?

NEMA plug designs for the US can be found here:

Check the "3-pole, 4-wire grounding" section. Since it's a new outlet you
probably won't have to check the "3-pole, 3-wire" section. Look at the row
labeled "125/250 Volt" You may see your plug among these.

Let me know what it's called if you see it; I have a few adapters.
Incidentally, I'll bring my PFC50 for those who need to charge in a hurry;
I've got lugs that can be attached to your batteries if necessary (or an
Anderson SB50, even better).
