Hey so I have a Mustang Mach E in Europe and I am moving to Costa Rica . Selling it is not an option because it’s a company car and the new company pays for shipping all my things including my cars. Also the Mustang Mach E in Costa Rica costs double the price I paid for mine and there are like literally only like 10 or them there .
I want to bring this exact same car .
Is it possible for me to buy adapters for it with? I think that AC charging will be simple…… the problem is DC.
In Costa Rica everyone uses type 1 J1772 (same as USA before the tesla North American standard switch ) and CCS type 1 for fast charging …
My Mustang is a Netherlands model. AC is type 2 DC is CCS type 2
I guess that’s the most reasonable approach so far but it’s too complicated
It’s less complicated than trying to get someone to convert your European electric car to North American electrical standards in a county that doesn’t really have a lot of EVs or ev infrastructure to begin with.
Does a Type2 car even allow 120V? Honestly curious. Bonded 240V would obviously be ok but if OP plugged in a granny would it break things? Lower voltage can destroy like higher voltage, but just with less pretty explosions and flames. Source: Once had a generator put out 66V AC and killed cable TV in half the city for a week.
It probably depends on the hardware. Charging equipment designed for multiple types of power isn’t exactly that crazy - just look at phones. Design one device for every market and change the plug because it’s cheaper that way.
But it could very well be that’s not the case too. It could even change between oems.
There’s a difference between 5V3A for a phone and 240/32 for a car :)
