And here is a you tube of one using a 10 amp cutout breaker, in the cord adapter, which allows a 15 amp imive plug to go into a 15 amp socket lead, into a 10 amp wall socket or lead. note rolled up lead, ummm...

In testing here we found the normal 10 amp house socket to get only as warm running the imiev charging as it does as if we have a 2, 400 watt heater on overnight.


That said , I think an outside purpose built 15 amp one would be easier than running a lead from inside the garage to the driveway.


But something like the amp fibian would be ideal for say at a friends house if he has only a 10 amp socket spare.



Another way is to use the esevupgardes version set at say 7 amps.


That way we can also use a 1,600 watt small honda or similar generator on the roadside rest area, while having a break for a few extra Kms. At 240 volts at 9.5 amps we get about 3 km per 5 minutes added to the battery.  At 1600 it might be about 2 km per five minutes so a 1 hour lunch break might give us another 24 km.
