If neither of those plugs work i assume a person could supply their own cord/plug?

The plug can easily be replaced to match whatever the buyer has. Any big-box home-improvement store will have the part for less than $30.

hmmm - description says 30 amps 40 amp breaker - but the plugs are 10/30 & 14/30 plugs - which would be a 30 amp breaker and a 24 amp charge rate...the inconsistency concerns me.

the technical specs are:

J1772 Light: No

NEMA Rating: 3R
NRTL Listing: UL
Voltage: 208-240 AC Volts
Bosch Part Number: EL-51253


the exact model number is a hardwired version (according the specs above), which can easily be converted to a plug so no biggie there...my concern continues to be that it's a 30 amp charge rate which requires a 40 amp breaker - and the plugs are 30 amp plugs - which are 24 amp rated continuous load - proper install of this would be a NEMA 14-50 plug with a 40 amp breaker (it's allowed in some jurisdictions) but a 50 amp breaker would be more common/acceptable...

a hardwired 30 amp charger with a 40 amp breaker would be just fine - not sure about a 30 amp plug in however, probably fine, but technically the plugs maximum rate is 30 amps and that is probably not rated for continuous load.

Charger has been sold.

(to person with an older Volt with 3.3kW onboard charger)


Some notes .

We used the above charger with the Nema 10-30p plug to charge a Spark EV with an 3.3 kW onboard charger So it charged at less than 30 amps.


We are currently using the same model charger with a Nema 14-50 plug and its max output on a car with a 11.4kW onbard charger is 30amps. It is on a 40amp breaker. Using another evse on that plug we got upto 32 amps out.

I would recommend going with the Nema 14-50 plug and have that installed if you haven't already. Because of the increased amp's it can handle as mentioned by daveo4Bolt and because many new EV's use the that plug.
