- " using 10 gauge wire for anything more than thirty amps is dangerous."
toolsweek.com/...
"the overcurrent protection shall not exceed 30 amperes for 10 AWG copper"
And this device plugs into a 50amp breaker outlet!

The response I got from Shockflo regarding the issue I had...
"Okay so here's the full response from the product manager:
The certification image given previously is the certification of our output cable and connector, but the input section (a short section of cable, the early design was not designed according to UL standards)
[Reference standard UL508 SECTION 110, overload test requirements: the rated current of all wires must reach 125% of the maximum current reached, and for other component loads, at least 100%;]
The cable requirements for 32A and 40A in the actual UL standard will be more stringent, the actual rated current load capacity of 10AWG reaches 40A, and the actual rated current load capacity of 9AGW reaches 50A;
So, please rest assured that when our products are actually used at 40A, they are in line with the load capacity of the wires, but I am really sorry that the incoming wires of our products were not designed according to the strict requirements of UL in the early stage of design. The design is based on 100% of the rated current; the outlet is designed based on 125% of the rated current; currently our new version is applying for ETL certification, and the input cable has been adjusted and modified according to 125%."
My response to that is: 10ga wire can handle 40amps @90°C/194°F! but the device states clearly that the max operation temperature is 122°F. I am glad they are changing the wire size and getting it safety certified.
This charge cable looks good and feels quality but I recommend if you have this cable to keep the charge rate under 30amps. If they change the wire size and get it certified then It could be a good choice.

Have you ever seen a charge cable rated at 40 amps using 10ga wires?
Have you contacted the company for comment on the wire gauge? I would like to know what their response is.
@@toronado455 Yes, I put one of their responses in the description. If you look at a Gauge chart the 10ga wire can handle 40amps however that is if you allow for the wire to get up to 194°F!
@@MikesCarInfo Thank You for posting the proper Wire Gauge for EV Chargers.
Was the cable updates ?
Why is this called a charger? There is no rectification in this product it is merely a wall connector. This misclassification of what this device is leads to mass consumer confusion
apparently there are two different kinds of EV charging: DC charging and AC charging. apparently the kind of charging done at home is AC charging and does not involve rectification.
@@toronado455 the AC charger is on the vehicle... That is where the rectification is done... This is merely a connector there is no conversion or IGBT's within the unit. it is a plug.
I agree, it is not a charger but a part of the charging system. Without communicating with a device like this then the car will not start charging. Most people just call it a charger because they plug the vehicle in and it charges :)
@@MikesCarInfo ok that makes much more sense now, thank you for explaining and for this video. perhaps devices such as this are more accurately J1772 to 1450 adapters as opposed to "chargers" but i suppose that is quite a mouthful and people want simple terms.
dissapointed, went from 4 k from 7 in 1 week
Looks like a knock-off from Vevor...
FIRST
DOES THE CAR KING REPLY?
Who's the car king?
@@MikesCarInfo OMG U REPLIED
