Hi I have the dealer supplied charging cable for my CX90 PHEV and the instructions say its rating is AC 120V / 12A (see pic). I’m currently using it on a standard 120V outlet in my garage. It is slow but charges fully overnight
My electrician is recommending a dedicated 240V outlet similar to a dryer for faster charging (and safer?). (Note: This would be standard 3 prong 240v outlet not a dedicated EV charging station, which I don’t want to do)
My questions:
- Is the charging cable going to make the 240V outlet irrelevant, since cable is rated for 120V?
- Do I need to buy a different cable for use with a 240V outlet?
- if so does Mazda make this? Can’t find it anywhere
My dealer seems totally clueless. Appreciate any thoughts
