I recommend Tesla "chargers". They sell the Mobile Connector for
$250, which may be near their cost. This is the portable EVSE that
they used to include with cars. It comes with NEMA 5-15 (household
wall outlet) and 14-50 (appliance wall outlet) adapters for Level 1
and Level 2 charging.
The wall mount Universal Wall Connector which supports power sharing
and J1772 in addition to NACS is $550.
The regular Wall Connector which supports NACS only is $420.
Tesla may be selling all of these at their cost, which is lowest due
to extensive engineering effort to reduce cost and improve
manufacturing efficiency.
For those more concerned about politics, Siemens actively supported
the Holocaust. Google it. ?
An no, Elon Musk is not remotely like Hitler. He's defending freedom.
That's kind of the opposite. Even if you disagree with him. He's
done more for the environment than most. Even if you dislike him.
