A closer look at the volt RCD tripping issue
my 10A holden EVSE has also NOT tripped anywhere, although original unit was replaced by Melville Holden. Clipper Creek make the Holden EVSE not sure whether you are game enough to try testing your volt with a 10A Nissan LEAF / Mitsu iMiEV EVSE? as I have done. plugged into a 15A protected RCD sock...

A closer look at the volt RCD tripping issue

A closer look at the volt RCD tripping issue
Bottom line 15 amp is best practise. Agreed. Also, for your clipper creek LC 25.. many have suggested to oversize to 40 amp when using a clipper creek on the volt. (Have read a few post over on GM Volt forum about this same issue. ) Have you tried out the clipper creek on an outlet rated higher than...
