Our 2022 2LT Bolt was just delivered. We bought it used from a VW dealership. However it came with only the 115 charging cord. Any suggestions about the best place to get a 220 volt cord or is there an adaptor for the 115 cord?
If I understand you correctly, you attached 1 wire @ 120V to one side of the outlet and another wire @ 120V to the other side. Did you have a neutral? If so did you attach it to ground? Also, how did you keep the power from exceeding 12 amps?IF (big if!) it is the OEM cord that was originally supplied with the Bolt then it's capable of running from 240V, which would double your charge speed. I personally installed a 240V feed to a NEMA 5-15 plug so that I could plug the cord in directly, but you also have the option of using an adapter or replacing the plug on the end of the cord with a 240V plug.
If your breaker box is full, a quad tandem breaker may allow you to fit additional circuits in. Attached is an example with a 30 A double pole breaker. This is for visual reference ONLY. This one has a 30 A double pole breaker in the middle and two 20 A single pole breakers on the sides.@Sean Nelson
Thanks, I am waiting for the Qmerit quote. I am looking at other options if Qmerit is too expensive. I have no room in my box for a 40 amp breaker.
