Not true. It all depends on the circuit that backs the plug in adapter or “proper” wall box. A proper slow wall connector or box as you call it can be slower than a high amperage plug. Just slapping a box around the plug won’t make it faster. And if you are going to do upgrades for installing a box, you can just as easily do the same upgrades to the same power for the same
charging speed at less cost by simply upgrading the circuit and the plug (not that even that is needed usually). Adding the box after this does not make it faster. Just aesthetically more impressive looking.
- kybernetikos 3y agoPerhaps it depends on region or perhaps you're referring to driving plugs outside of standard? Where I am a normal plug can drive around 3kw while a dedicated circuit drives about 7kw (both for single phase, more for 3 phase). When we had the dedicated circuit fitted it needed to sense the load from the rest of the house so it could dynamically back off to stay within our overall safe limits. Obviously I'm not saying that putting a box around something magically makes it better, I'm saying that something that plugs into a standard domestic plug (which is what I thought you were taking about) will not supply power at the same rate and that difference can be significant for charging times.
