I recently moved from Orange County to San Diego and the buyers of my old house didn't want my Leviton 40amp EVSE.  When I bought my RAV4, I used the Toyota recommended process, electrician, and charger, and my EVSE was hardwired into my house's electrical system on its own 50amp curcuit.


When I moved to San Diego, I decided that instead of paying an electrician to wire my car charger into the new house, I would instead pay to have a 220V receptacle installed on the exterior of my house.  Without doing proper research, I asked the electrician installing PV panels on my house to wire up an external 220V RV connector.  He asked if I wanted 50Amps, and I said yes, because the Leviton charger needs a 50amp circuit.  This is the connector he installed:  http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-50-Amp-Temporary-RV-Power-Outlet-U054P/100193650


Well, I unpacked my EVSE from its box in the garage and was surprised to find that it only has three wires (red, black, green) inside.  The outlet I have has four connectors which I believe are 1xGround, 1xCommon, 2xHot.


So, does anyone have any suggestions to fix this mistake?  I'm feeling a bit of the idiot right now for not doing enough research on this, so any suggestions are appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

-Chris
