120v--> 240v device question

[Motomax]

There are much simpler ways to burn down a house if that’s what you’re going for…

This is what I modeled mine after…….the EV Doubler.

This part of the documentation was missing from your image:

I thought it was worth mentioning in case someone has serious thoughts about doing this!

These things used properly would be very similar to a real 240v 15 or 20a circuit. But, the potential for you doing the “wrong” thing is extremely high and this will give you all the ability to burn your home straight to the abyss. Unless you are an electrician its best to avoid this.

All,

I am not an electrical engineer by any means, so would appreciate any and all comments. I found this device on amazon (link below) that says if you plug it in to two standard outlets on DIFFERENT CIRCUITS, it can produce a 240v outlet. I happen to have two outlets, right next to each other, in my garage on different circuit breakers. I was planning to use this to upgrade to 240v charging in my house . I am renting the house I am in now, so dont have the flexibility to just install a 240v outlet.

1) Is this thing safe to use? Last thing i need is any problems w house or MME
2) If answer to 1 is yes, would it actually produce materially faster charging than charging with a standard outlet?

THanks - any and all comments appreciated. This is not my area of expertise.

Description:


This adapter is 100% safe & permanent. every adapter is tested be for sending. troubleshooting, if it is working but not enough power your wall outlets do not have enough amperage. and this adapter will not work for you. if you plug it in and it is not doing any thing you need to plug it in to a different outlet. This adapter will allow you to convert your standard 110/125 VOLT home wall power in to a high power 220/250 VOLT. Typically used for things like Dryers, Stoves, Welders. EV Car Chargers and a lot more. For proper use of this adapter you will need to plug each 110/125V plug in to different outlets ran from different circuits. THIS ADAPTER WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT PLUG IT IN TO DIFFERENT CIRCUITS. Example- Plug the 2 110/125V plugs in to 2 different rooms ran by 2 different breakers. And the converter will produce 220/250V. So by plugging the 2 5-15P plugs in to 2 different power sources it will make 220/250V from 110/125V. Or simply in to 2 different rooms in your house, as long as you get your 110/125V power from 2 different circuits this will work. If this adapter is not working for you, What you are plugged in to does not have enough amperage. This adapter works about 95% of the time. If it is not working for you simply send it back with a note and I will refund you in full. SELLER NOTE- Most all of the items i sell are MADE TO ORDER. SO THERE WILL BE A TIME DELAY IN SHIPPING. Most of the time a maximum of 2 or 3 day delay. Thank you.. Hi I Own And Operate A Small Business In The USA, 5 Employees And We All Value Our Customer So If Your Not Happy With One Of Our Products.

I would look at this item:

Then, I would look for an EVSE that allows you to adjust your charge down to 12a.
If you use the Ford cable that came with the car, you can't use the 240v plug. It will draw too much power. You can use the 120v plug in a 240v outlet and get 220v, 12a charging, but that requires something like this:
