As I can't be bothered to figure out how to put up pictures on here, and I wanted to keep my notes in one place, here's what I've done/plan to do: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P0fdEsi-awfmaAln66X_ZajnWWTwuCT0VGSTO6Wo0dk/edit?usp=sharing

No need for signaling to EVSE - it is the other way around - it is the car charger which governs the amount of power that it draws. All the EVSE does is tell the charger over the Control Pilot the maximum amps it can put out, then the charger takes up to that amount. So as I'm taking over from...

OK, so I've tried out my practical test with resistors and can get the EVSE to provide power. Note that my experiment was using an unusual EVSE; an ELPA EVR01 which I've effectively hardwired to my household mains circuit and built into a box on the outside of my house to make it permanent...

Ok, cool, we ARE trying to achieve a similar goal, but whilst you want to run a small heater whilst charging (is this to keep yourself warm whilst waiting in the car for a J1772 charge?) and I want to heat the car up with a 2kw fan heater after the car has charged, just before I want to get in...

Perhaps I'm pointing out the obvious here, but I'd rather say it and sound condescending than not say it: Be sure to add together the car's maximum current draw of 16amps to whatever you're plugging into a socket if you're going to be running both at the same time. If you're going to run a 10...

Speaking on Herbie's behalf (because I think he's also after what I'm after), I think he's after something a little different to what this thread is about. Herbie also posted the same question on this http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4444 and (assuming he's after what I'm after)...

Great idea Tiborx8. I was originally wondering how to do this using 240v AC for a domestic fan heater without having to add an additional mains cord and socket to the car. Have you managed to make any progress on this? A few things I'm trying to figure out: - As we shouldn't charge the...
