NACS to J1772 do nothing on superchargers, even if the vin is authorized.
You need an NACS to CCS for that.

So i got a additional car charger. I got chargepoint flex hardwired. Now i see they have up to 80amp circuit breaker. Now for 80/70 amp, im assuming #4 awg thhn is good? Thanks
I also looked at the ford pro. I just wanted something that’s approved with coned, and i can control it with any vehicle. So i feel like this is the charger for me
Lololol you’re on LH and asking people not to lowball you.
Changed my mind gonna keep it as a back up lol. I know right what am i thinking 
Does anybody know whats the max amps accepted in 24 lightning flash? Im new to the chargepoint homeflex charger and im trying to find out how to raise the power? Thanks
I believe an 80 amp circuit requires #3 per code.
From numerous electricians i work with was told for my charger its a 6ft run panel to charger
#4 AWG Black & Red
#8 AWG Green ground
Eaton 80amp breaker
#4 was hard to squeeze into the terminals of the charger.
Charger is set a max
Hopefully they were right!
So last night i charged my truck, and it wouldnt wanna charge more than 40amps, i called chargepoint since its not letting me change amps. When i set up the charger i checked for 70/80amp breaker. Now chargepoint is asking me that i should take a look at my wiring. @mllcb42 got me thinking about my wire size. Has anybody installed this on 80amp breaker, if so what wire did you use? Inside charger it says max 6 awg but 6 is not rated for 80amps. I already had hard time fitting #4 awg conductors into the slots, i hope i reallly dont have to go with #3. I dont know if that will fit
Is your truck set to limit the max rate of charge? Thats usually the issue in a situation like this if the evse isnt doing the limiting.
I spent time in truck (24 lightning flash) and theres no where to be found to raise the amps. Unless someone knows where to look. I checked manual and only thing i found is that 24 flash is capped at 48. Its a short run from breaker to charger. Wouldn’t mind swapping it out to 60amp breaker with 6 thhn wire. But before i do that im trying all my options to keep it at max. Due to the fact i start charging at 12am but i leave for work at 330am. Theres really anit big difference between 80 to 60 amp breaker. But i figured since work is done try to solve it before redoing it
3.5 hrs? It could theoretically fill it, but dang
Lol not looking to charge the whole battery in that window. But im trying get the most of it. I was gonna go with ford charger. But i ended up with this due to incentives and account rebates
I thought Ford gave $2000 for the charger install? Or was that just pure rebate cash
Must be cheaper to begin charging earlier even if the rate/price is higher, instead of installing an upgrade.
Either you take charger or rebate. I enrolled with coned rates and they recommended chargepoint for incentives and best for multiple cars

Material is not a issue im get the stuff from electricians on job site, i just wanted to max out my options. But it doesnt make sense to go above 48amps as what i was told from lightning forum, the truck wont accept more than 48amps
I highly doubt your current being capped has anything to do with the breaker/wiring being used.
Thats what i thought, but at same time charger is saying max wiring 6awg, i really dont wanna wake up to a fire in my driveway lol
Yah, if the evse isnt rated to take larger than 6, i wouldn’t put larger than 6. I just dont think it is the source of the specific issue you’re having.
Well im gonna change it when i get home, reboot my charger settings and ill see if i get the 48amps, if im still getting the 40 amps the for sure its charger unless its the truck
