Is it possible to wire the Aerovironment Home EVSE into a "portable" charger? I received a free Aerovironment Home EVSE with the Leaf I leased from Fontana (Thanks Danny!) and I have a 14-30 dryer receptacle that isn't being used (I have a gas dryer that only requires 120v). The dryer circuit is on a 40A breaker. I plan to wire a 14-50 cord (higher amps than 14-30) into the EVSE and cut off the neutral contact on the cord. I will unplug the EVSE when not in use so that I do not run both the dryer and EVSE at the same time. Is there an issue that I am not aware of with my plan? Any suggestions?
