I only trickle charge, so hopefully it will work okay. Waiting for the govt. to restart the home charging grant to get an evse. I guess one thing I could try would be to plug it into the car first, then the 110 plug and see if it works, or if I can figure out what circuit breaker to pull and test it that way.I believe the Evse has to do a 'handshake' with the car before it sends power so the unit will have to wake up first before it will allow power to flow. The Evse has signal wires in the cord section that connects to the car. When you plug it in, the car and the Evse will make the handshake, the Evse will tell the car how much power it can supply (16amp, 32amp, 40amp etc), the car will tell how much it wants (Kona maxes at 30ish I believe), then the Evse will begin supplying power until the car says stop.
It should be the same, the trickle charger still has to do the handshake routine. I believe that is part of the J1772 standard (the cord end that you plug into the car is generally called a J1772 connector because it is only used with the J1772 charging standard).I only trickle charge, so hopefully it will work okay.

Good to know, thanks.It should be the same, the trickle charger still has to do the handshake routine. I believe that is part of the J1772 standard (the cord end that you plug into the car is generally called a J1772 connector because it is only used with the J1772 charging standard).
going to try that today!You can test it by turning off the breaker that your trickle charger is plugged into while the car is charging, and then turning it back on in a bit and seeing what happens. The car should just treat it as a disconnected cord and do the handshake process over again.

Yes, I did the same. I plugged it into the car first then 110 plug and it worked, then turned circuit breaker off and back on, the it continued to charge. Thanks.Confirmed!![]()
I hope you didn't confirm your car blew up. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]Confirmed!![]()
Correct! The car is intact and so is the chargerI hope you didn't confirm your car blew up. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]

Damn My Kona blew up luck of the draw I guess LOL..Correct! The car is intact and so is the charger![]()
