    He should be using CCS Level 2 at 240v on one of the bigger outlets, Level 1 will be painfully slow to charge.

      I don’t think that that is even CCS Level One, looks like a standard North American wall outlet to me. (120V at 10A, or 1.2kw).

        Aren’t they electrically the same? CCS Level 1 is 120v at 12-16A. All the CCS standard does is provide the signaling to make it safer and offer an emergency cut-off in case of overloading so you aren’t relying on the breaker alone.

        I guess since we can’t see it we don’t exactly know if they use CCS since the other connector isn’t visible. Seems logical that they would or use something similar, since it’s safer than drawing the AC directly with no protection.
