Plugrand 1FT Nema 10-30P 30Amp Dryer Plug Male to 6-20R T-Blade Female Adapter,30A 125/250V Dryer 3-Prong Plug to 20A 250V 6-20/15R Adapter 12-AWG

I needed to find an interim solution to power up our EV. Found this adapter that fit perfectly into our old-school dryer plug in the garage. Now we are able to plug our new EV into a low-cost (<$500) 220 watt charger that juices our EV to 100% overnight. We scheduled our EV to start charging at 9:00 pm when the PG&E rates are lower. With our solar panels generating most of the electricity, we're saving about $400 in gas money and doing our part to help reduce our carbon footprint. Totally thrilled with this purchase!

After nearly 6 months of use charging a Volvo XC60 Hybrid, this plug has worked well.

This adapter was exactly the simple solution that was needed to allow my Chevy Volt hybrid to charge on 220 volts, without adding additional house wiring. This requires unplugging the dryer before using the charging equipment but this is easy to do in my situation. The car charges up much faster on 220V than on 120V, making the car much more practical to use daily without burning any gasoline. At the electric rates that I pay, running the car on electricity is less expensive that running it on gasoline. The adapter seems to be well made and doesn't get hot during use. It allows the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment to charge the car without any problems. . The hard part was finding this adapter in the Amazon database - it didn't show up in my general searches for 220V adapters. It only showed up when i specified the exact plug and receptacle cable ends that were needed. But if you are reading this, you either figured that out yourself or had better luck than me with a general search.

Another option for charging

I bought a Bosch dryer that comes with a power cord. The cord with the dryer is not a standard dryer power cord, you need a adapter cord to convert the EV plug to standard 3 prong dryer cord. This is the item needed.
