Hi everyone,
Happy owner of a M3D here.
Our landlord claims that she will need to get a permit for us to use our Tesla official portable charger with the standard 125v NEMA 5-15-P plug (the three pronger common to computers, blenders, etc.)
As a result, she isn't letting us plug in the Tesla. Public chargers work, but I feel bad clogging up the public infrastructure every week and it's a hike.
Is there any documentation (NEC, building code, anything "official") that specifically states that a permit is *not* required for a car (or any big load) charging on a 5-15P plugged into a NEMA 5-15R?
I need something to show her to assuage her fears/preconceptions.
I've done many searches including exact matches and I can't find any specific references for this.
This is in Palo Alto, CA. There aren't a lot of reasonable housing options here and she is otherwise cool.
Thanks!
