High current devices like aircons and I would expect electric car

True that halves the current demand for the same power but does the
Tesla live off 110v (easyly available) or 220? Is 220 kit plugable
or hardwired? As you say it's only heavy load fixed kit that lives on
220 so it doesn't need to be plugable.

A 110v 15 amp supply wouldn't be of much use to a car which runs solely
off electricity. Unless you charged it for a week and used it for an
afternoon. ;-)


Not quite that bad. charged for 24 hours, used for 20 minutes..
