Hi everyone.
New to EV and e-Golf. Picked up a 2015 SEL from Carvana (really awesome experience) but need help with level 2 charging.
I don't have the amps for a separate 40-50 amp service and don't want to spend all that.
I want to share my electric dryer plug with my Level 2 - 26 amp charger on order.
I looked and couldn't find a level 2, 20 something amp charger that offered a timer option (set start time).
I did find a splitter for the female receptacle so I can plug in the level 2 charger and the dryer.
So since we don't dry clothes in the middle of the night (and the electric rates go down) my ideal solution is one of the following for simplicity and costs.
1) Find a mechanical or digital 30 amp timer that uses a standard 10-30 plug in and out
2) Find a Level 2 20-30 amp plug in charger with a built in timer
I would like to avoid the VW CarNet app or the major expense of upgrading my service with a piggyback box, installation, more expensive Level 2 JuiceBox type charger, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks all in advance
