  • I love how we can make it decades using 240v plugs just fine for ovens/dryers for hours on end but suddenly everyone is freaking out about EVs using them.

    If it’s installed improperly it’s not because you used a plug.

    If the plug gets loose and the connector is falling out, it’s not because you used a plug. It’s because they kept using a failed product.

    If it is getting hot, you used wires that were too small, user error.

    It’s not because you’re using a plug, it’s because it’s either improperly setup or people keep using it after it’s failed.

    Plugs are great. Don’t blame plugs when it’s the idiots fault.

    TIPS: if your EV plug gets hot, something is wrong. I can pull 10kwh through mine and feel no temperature change through it. At most slight warmth is allowed. If anything the plug at the vehicle should be warmer.
