Yea, I didn't want to read through 71 pages of posts unfortunately and wanted to get the TL;DR summary
This is what I was looking for. Thank you.
The practice has been proven to be sound by scores of people, all happily using the OEM EVSE for L2 charging without incident, and WITHOUT VOIDING THEIR WARRANTY!! If you have the time and skills, you can easily accomplish building one of these on your own, but for those who prefer the convenience of just purchasing one, Chris is definitely your go-to source.
That's awesome. Chris is the man- hats off!
The only thing you need to know is 220v and 12A won't charge as fast as a real level2 with 220v at 16A. But the difference is like 5.5-6 hours vs 4-5 hours. It's good enough for most people, plus it costs significantly less.
Now that is awesome. If only you could somehow attach an ice cold beer to come along down that chute hahaBeen charging my 2017 since day one on the stock/oem EVSE @ level 2 without a single issue. So nice being able to throw 10 miles worth of charge into it every hour.
I hardwired my EVSE into a 220V outlet (maybe hardwired isn't the right word, it's a dedicated locked out outlet since my EVSE never leaves the garage. It's run down my slick little invention i call the charge tube:

Semi-automated and wirelessly controlled to boot
Here's a few:
Neat trick but still haven't done it with my car.Mine took about a month to arrive when i applied back in early February. People who applied early got it back in a week but that turn around has not been seen in awhile since i was following that thread.
Interesting. Are there any other rebates/incentives other than the known federal/state/local ones that members have been able to take advantage of with the volt?
You'll find most incentives/rebates here. Make sure to put in your zip code and it will narrow down the ones that apply to you.
