Plugged into the kitchen range receptacle
Your cottage must be absolutely swimming in bugs now
I stayed at a cabin once in Mendocino. The owners of the cabin said they didn’t have any ev chargers but can plug in anywhere we can. The light pole outside of our cabin had a light pole with an electrical socket and we used that the entire weekend while we were there.
Where in Mendocino? The city or the county? I had a hell of a time finding a charge up there
I would recommend getting a low-gauge (iirc 10 or 12 gauge, 25ft max) extension cord. You can’t always park this close to places you are staying.
I will repeat again, 10 or 12 gauge, 25ft max. Do NOT use a higher gauge and be careful with longer cords unless it’s really high quality. You get what you pay for.
You mean “don’t use a higher gauge” I assume
Lower gauge = thicker wires = can handle more power
The magic term is “contractor cord”
But above all, never pull more than 12 amps from a regular household outlet. Most of them are only designed to deliver 15 amps. Even at 12 you risk tripping the circuit breaker.
Man I’ll settle for a regular wall outlet at a cottage stay. Stove range plug is absolutely luxurious 👌
My main way of charging is the regular wall outlet, works well when you don’t have to commute everyday beyond 5 mi a day. I would totally do what you’re doing in a heartbeat
