To be able to charge at a public charging station in\u00a0The Netherlands\u00a0you need a type 2 connector. Due to the limitation of a maximum of 16A per phase (mode 1), the Lotus can only charge on a public charging station with 16A max.<\/p>\n

Building the cable, Mennekes type 2 (see picture above) and CEE\u00a0(32A 3+N+E female)
\nI bought a secondhand Ratio charging cable for only \u20ac 75,- . I removed the white j1772 connector and added a 220 ohm resistor. I started with a 220 ohm risitor because I wanted to charge with 32A. It didn\u2019t work\u00a0the charging station gave an error. Finally\u00a0a 680 ohm resistor between Earth and PP (Proximity) gave the best result.<\/p>\n

Since the Lotus Elise ECE is built in 2008, before the charging standards (IEC 62196 and IEC 60309) where released. The car is equipped with a standard CEE 32A 5-pin connector for charging. It can charge with 32A on 1 … Continue reading
