I'm no longer receiving email alerts to my subscribed topics, so I'm seeing this late.


I never needed 40A charging when I was commuting, but conversely, now that it looks like I've retired, I am doing a lot less routine/planned drives and many more ad-hoc and unusual round-trips.  I have an OpenEVSE at three endpoints, all set to 40A delivery, and I'm using them much more than I ever did when working.


The 48A nozzle & cable is not quite as flexible as the 40A J-Plug was, but it's not hard to use, and it doesn't get above ambient after an hour of 38+A delivery, so I should be good for a while there.


I may have to update one or both of the other OpenEVSEs, though; I'm definitely going to be testing for heat-up of those periodically!  One good thing: those other EVSEs are v5 or v5.5, so the replacement cable/nozzle will be a bit easier to replaced, due to the lead lengths.
