EV-Switch tm / TFI-204 Manual 240VAC Switch + AC Meter
The EV-Switch tm / TFI-204 is a Manual 240VAC Switch to time-share an existing 240VAC outlet between two AC loads. The user simply plugs the cable to the existing 240VAC outlet, then connects an AC load, e.g., an electric dryer to Dr side and another AC load, e.g., an EV charging unit to the EV side.

When the switch is on Dr side, the (left) LED is turned on and Dr side receptacle gets AC connection. (EV side is completely OFF).
When the switch is on EV side, the AC meter is turned on and EV side receptacle gets AC connection. (Dr side is completely OFF).
