Just bought a hybrid vehicle, my house came with a wall outlet in the garage specific for EVs (shown in the picture) but but none of the adapters that came with the car are big enough to fit in there. Any idea what adapters I need to buy to make this fit? I’m a total newbie with this stuff. In case it helps I just bought a Volvo XC90. Builder says he thinks that’s a 220 that he installed in the wall

The plug you have from your vehicle is just a normal 110v plug for a normal outlet.

Def a 220… a buddy of mine managed to wire a 220 line to a conventional outlet for his pool pump… and let me tell you… when I plugged a shop vac into it once that thing ran like nobodies business… till it start shooting flames out of the top and burned up.
I’d just go to Home Depot, buy a 220 dryer cord, cut the end off the adapter that came with your car, splice it together with some masking tape, and give er a go!

That's a 220v outlet. You're holding a 120v adapter

As a side note how do you like the car?

That’s definitely 220v we others have said. Read your owners manual. The inverted in the car might only accept 120v and you need an adapter to go from 220V to the car. Can you post a pic of what came with the car?

Mmmm… hot thumb right thurr.

Just buy one of those level 2 chargers with the right NEMA 6-50 plug and J1772 connector off Amazon. Blink and Juicebox are fancier ones, there's some cheaper $2-300 ones too.

We have the same xc90, charger can plug in to any ol wall port.

Sounds like you need to hire an electrician

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
