Translation: it’s a box with an electrical plug sticking out of the back. If you’ve ever plugged anything into a wall, you already know what to do.We did it! We unplugged the Volvo’s charger from the outlet in the far wall and replaced it with the NeoCharge Smart Splitter. Then we plugged the Volvo’s adapter back in , leaving an open 240 outlet on the other side of the splitter “free” to plug in the Tesla.“Sounds too easy,” you might be saying.
do is install the mounting bracket on the outlet’s faceplate, which comes in the box. A pair of thumbscrews goes in on either side of the NeoCharge, fixing it more securely to the wall.I, of course, skipped the instructional video, dismissed the mounting bracket as “unnecessary,” and quickly plugged everything in. Within seconds, both the smart splitter and the charging cables were on the ground.
This is entirely on me, of course. The 220v plugs and cables are heavy, and that weight— combined with some less-than-graceful yanking and shuffling of the charge coupler on the Volvo side— was enough to yank the NeoCharge out of the wall.I take a step back, RTFM, and follow the directions. Everything works perfectly.Look, there is really no excuse here for not following the directions.
