EV Power connectors
Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 5:57 pm
Hi All,
Having chosen and purchased my 'rolling shell' vehicle, I'm now looking at getting the bits I need to get my conversion under way.
I'm pretty sorted on most of the bits I need, but currently I'm stuck on what will be the best kind of connector for the charging connection to the EV from the mains.
Following tradition I'm thinking of putting the 'charge socket' in the fuel cap area of the car. Does anybody have any comments on using 'weatherproof' connection system such as the 'caravan power socket'?
Are these overkill? Is there a more common (particularly in the uk) connector which other people have used?
Ta in advance.
