    You can get the stock Toyota cable upgraded to do both 120V and 240V for only about $300. You would still need access to a 240V outlet.

    moot point, because I pay $15.00 a month to the landlord for the use of his 110 volt outlet. wouldn't be more "efficient" and since the outlet is 110 volt, running a 240 volt line wouldn't be cost effective to the landlord. it would involve digging up the parking lot to run 240 volt cable. and it's a long ways to the meter

    can't beat the rent yet: $393.00 a month includes electricity (except for the $15.00) and heat. A/C is included
