Unlock your dryer outlet – power your EV Charger

Spread the love

Unlock your dryer or stove outlet to charge your EV or plug-in hybrid with a Level 2 charging system. Our power splitter switches your original dryer or stove outlet to two independent outlets. You can literally start charging your EV with a Level 2 charger within 30 minutes after receiving our power splitter. Install is a 5 step process, mounting hardware not included.

To install
1. Unplug your dryer
2. Hang our power splitter on the wall above or beside your dryer
3. Plug our power splitter into your dryer outlet
4. Plug your dryer into the left power splitter outlet
5. Plug your EV Level 2 charge controller into the right power splitter outlet
6. And that’s it!

Our power splitter does not rely on any high end electronics, instead our power splitter is a high current On-Off-On switch. With no high end electronics, there are no expensive components to fail.

Do you already have an EV outlet installed and need a second outlet for a home brewery or 240V welder? Or are you interested in powering your home brewery from your dryer outlet? Our power splitter works just a well here too!

To Operate our EV Power Splitter
1. Rotate the switch to the left, and the left outlet and indicator light are switched on.
2. Rotate the switch to the center and no outlets are switched on.
3. Rotate the switch to the right, and the right outlet and indicator light are switched on.
4. It’s impossible to have both outlets on at the same time.

Buying your Level 2 EV charger

A Level 2 EV charger will charge your EV or plug-in hybrid much faster than the standard 120V home charger that came with your car. But not all Level 2 EV chargers are the same. Standard dryer outlets can supply up to 30 Amps which limits you to a charger rated for 24 Amps, and a 24 Amp Level 2 charger will charge your EV 3.2X faster than the 15 Amp 120V Level 1 Charger included with your car. Standard stove outlets can supply up to 50 Amps which limits you to a charger rated for 40 Amps, and a 40 Amp Level 2 charger will charge your EV 5.3X faster than the 15 Amp 120V Level 1 Charger included with your car.

It’s important to match your Level 2 EV charger to your dryer or stove outlet. Attempting to run a 40 Amp Level 2 EV charger on a 30 Amp dryer outlet will just trip your dryer circuit breaker. If you are charging from a 30 Amp dryer outlet, you will need to buy a 24 Amp Level 2 Charger. A 50 Amp stove outlet will support a 40 Amp Level 2 Charger. You also need to match your new Level 2 EV charger power plug to your dryer outlet. But this isn’t a problem. Good Level 2 EV charger manufactures support all 4 outlet styles.
