240V Charge on a Redshift SM

[Johman]

Hi guys I recently picked up a SM, man these things rock! I know it's possible to charge the SM at 240v with the latest firmware (which I now have), but can someone point me to which cable/adapter I should get to do so? I have a 240v outlet in my garage that is used to charge an EV (see attached photo).

Thanks!

I would connect Ground to Ground, and the other two wires any way you like.

Disclaimer: Do not blame me.

It’s nothing you can buy “off the shelf”. You can easily put one together with hardware store parts. Based on the outlet in the picture, I would agree with Philip’s above advice.

Great, thank you gents.

So your adapter energizes the common side of the Alta SM charging cord with 110 Volts?

I tested the 220v charge on the SM here in Germany in all possible variations. It never worked! Firmware was the latest.

Great, thank you gents.

Assuming that you have done this does it charge faster? Does it still charge at 110V?

When you say "it never worked" do you mean it wouldn't charge at all or no difference in charging rate/time?

It never charged. Display said: Net voltage out of range!
