Mobile charger kit - 10amp or 15amp?

[rengel79]

Hey guys, I’ve just received the mobile charging kit with the Australian 10 and 15amp wall plugs.
Dumb question but if want to charge the car when remote and not at home (as I have a 32amp wall connector at home) what plug do I use to plug into my friends GPO socket if I and or he doesn’t know what amperage the GPO is at his house?

Most household GPOs are 10A.
15A outlets are most common in caravan parks.

15A Tesla plug has a larger earth pin so you can't plug it into a 10A socket.

Thanks @moa999

There's an adaptor you can get that enables you to plug 15A tail into 10A socket, but not advisable unless you know the risks (or manually limited the amperage in car to 10A)

The 15A to 10A “adaptors” are simply RCDs that trip if the current draw is more than 10A. So they still limit you to 10A, meaning you have to lower the charge current in the App or car to 10A, otherwise you’ll get 0A.
