Thank you. Would something like this off Amazon also be compatible?

If you have a 14-50 in the garage then you have options, and it really comes down to what works for you in terms of cost vs. convenience. For the first few weeks of having my car I've been using the Polestar 14-50 connector that came with the car.

My plan was to keep that in the car and, similar to you, buy an additional one to leave in the garage. I was looking at the Lectron option, which is cheaper than the one you linked above.

I'm lazy though and I wanted to be able to pull a few stats from the charger and have it notify me when charging was complete etc, so I've just ordered a ChargePoint Flex that will plug into the 14-50 and hang on the wall. In addition to the stats it also gives me a longer cable and slightly better cable management for when it isn't in use.

Where I have ended up is probably the least frugal (by any metric) option but I leave home at 5am every day and get back at 8pm, so it is also the easiest option that I could come up with and doesn't involve any fiddling around at the start or end of the day.

YMMV but I hope this helps.

We had to install a new 220v for an induction range and had a second one installed near our driveway. Car came with the basic charger but we wanted to speed it up so we got this - https://www.amazon.com/LECTRON-Electric-Vehicle-Charger-Extension/dp/B07HKLCXPJ/. Works really well and our SE is fully charged in under 4 hrs.

It does not, but I was looking at getting this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HKLCXPJ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=A3L9663CMWRIQ2&psc=1

I was also going to get a few adapters for 14-30P, 6-50P, and L14-30P to 14-50R.

You should probably ask the campsite, I've read many comments on PlugShare and YouTube and lots of campgrounds forbid EV charging.

The Q&A on this one says UL Listed, for $300. Not 100% certain it actually is, however.

There are portable 220V Level 2 chargers. They're on the order of 10 lbs with cables. You'd need to have outlets installed at the locations you want to plug in.

Example: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07HKLCXPJ

There are many others at various price points.

You could use a third-party EVSE. There's more than a few J1772 chargers with portable designs similar to the mobile connector.

Here's a couple of examples.

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKLCXPJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_6A01P27RVETW3R5MEG56?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

With this adapter coming in https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XNSXWM4/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_4H5RQBKT5DXVZPT1K9PQ

We're planning to stay at the fernwood campground and they confirmed that's the plug they use, but they also have standard 110v outlets if needed. I'm planning to change the max current in vehicle to 16a or 13a just to be safe with a 110v. I'm still looking for a decently priced 5-15 plug to 14-50 receiver as I ran into the exact problem you mentioned.

Can you find the alibaba product link?

Most likely you're looking for something like this, but I can't be certain. IANAE

The other 2 comments didn’t understand the question correctly. Here’s a few that meet what you are asking for:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKLCXPJ/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZHMLP8B/

https://store.clippercreek.com/amazing-e-fast-32-hardwired

I don’t have any of these personally but if I were to choose, I would choose the last one because it’s a sub brand of Clipper Creek (well liked company in this space). When you get your Model Y, it will come with an adapter that will work with these cables.

Lectron 240V 32 Amp Level 2 EV... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKLCXPJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I got the Lectron 32A 14-50P version and also the accompanying Tesla Destination Charge adapter.

It doesn't appear to be UL listed, but it is sold by Home Depot and Lowes. It has good build quality and good reviews. https://i.imgur.com/999XOjK.png

The 14-50 plug is a typical serviceable type and not a cheap molded/encased plug I'd find on most of the cheap extension cords. https://i.imgur.com/Eexyibk.png

It also uses 10awg EVE cord with temperature monitoring on both ends of the cord so it can shut down in the event of overheating from poor connection, which I was surprised and impressed to see.

Duosida EV Chargers have proven to be very reliable at also very reasonable prices. This one is adjustable for use as a level 1 (120V) charger, or charging at level 2 (240V) can be set for several different amperages to work with almost any 240V circuit. Would need adapters for anything other that NEMA 14-50.

This one is a good choice if you feel that 16amps 240V is sufficient (on Nissan Leaf this is the 3kw level)

I have been using Duosida chargers for 6 years with no reliability issues.
