Still not right. The Ford Mobile Charger is a 32A EVSE and delivers 32A. The amperage number of an EVSE is always what it actually delivers. The SplitVolt charger is 40A and delivers 40A. The Clipper Creek there is a 32A EVSE (says so in the title), not a 40A. You might be confused with the model number because Clipper Creek has chosen to number their models based on the circuit amperage they require.Digging a little bit...yes I was wrong...but not about the Ford provided EVSE. Ford provides a 40 amp EVSE that will deliver 80% of that current, 32 amps, to the car.....

The linked SplitVolt 40 amp charger does not follow EVSE naming convention. It delivers 40 amps to the car...but requires a 50 amp circuit to do so. Other manufactures would call it a 50 amp EVSE. My mistake was to assume SplitVolt followed convention when naming its units.

See for an example of conventional EVSE naming nomenclature this 40 amp Clipper Creek that will also deliver 32 amps to the car.

The 80% rule only applies to the CIRCUIT, not the EVSE. So a 32A EVSE is to be used on a 40A+ circuit, but again it's incorrect to call it a 40A EVSE because it doesn't deliver 40A.
