    New here. Nice to see all the good people working hard at converting their vehicle to EV. I registered because I am good at power electronics and built a AC to DC converter to be used as a fast charger. It can output plenty of power to charge any vehicle as fast as it can take it. But for...

    After 10 years of watching, waiting, planning and hoping, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased an off lease 2014 Fiat 500e. So far I've just been charging with the 1.4 kw 120V charger that comes with the car. But I'm interested in exploring an EVSE that can maximize the 6.6 kw onboard...

    Hi, Is it possible to get an EVSE that is programmable down to 2 or 4 amps? I have found this (http://evseupgrade.com/?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=25) which goes down to 6 amps, but I would like to try even lower. Thanks for any input, Matt

I am now using a Clipper Creek 20 Amp model. Here is a link...
