yes my voltage is usually 250, uk grid limits are 216 - 253,
i only do 120 miles per week, so i tend to charge for about 3 hrs each day, at the lowest setting
you will probably need to run it at 13A eh

All I-MIEVs, IOns and CZeros have a type 1 connector and looking at the drawing from the manual (post #38) the Minicab has the same.

Was able to move the Minicab discussion into here from the Solar Charging thread, as I felt it was worthy of its own thread.

Dear frank,

So its mean that I have to go to purchase of the new Ring rpc 10a05 which you are using for the Mitsubishi MiEV Minicab van right.

Doesn't the owner of the mini-cab have the EVSE charger device? All cars and vans came with one from the factory, and should be included if the vehicle is sold.

The J1772 charge port is a universal standard the same everywhere, so any EVSE with that connector and the correct input power cord for your country mains will work.

i have bought several used EVSE devices and no problem with them. Don't be afraid of buying used EVSE--much less $$$ than buying new one.
