I have owned a few different electric vehicles over the past several years. I love being able to charge my car at home so that I never have to go to a gas station like I would with a regular car. But if you also own an EV and want to install a level 2 charger in your garage, be very careful. I paid an electrician to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage 3 years ago so that I could plug in my level 2 charger. But he used a standard 14-50 outlet like you plug a dryer into. I didn't even realize at the time that you could buy a 14-50 outlet that was specifically designed for electric vehicles. Regular dryer-type outlets aren't designed to handle the load of charging an EV for several hours. Fortunately I realized this before I had any major issues like an electrical fire. Once I found out that you could buy outlets like this one from Lider that are designed for charging an electric vehicle, I replaced my old outlet with one of these. I can tell just by looking at the connections how much better the quality is. I was happy to see that these outlets also come with the cover plate that is needed, since my old cover plate wouldn't fit. Although I only needed one of these outlets for now, I was happy to get this 2-pack since it gives me a spare. Also, if I ever move to a new house then I will already have the outlet I need to install there.

I installed this receptacle for an EV charger. The screws are very difficult to tighten to the proper torque. The wires came loose several times. I would not recommend this product.

I have two EV’s, a Tesla Y and a Ford Lightning. I frequent the forums for both and have seen some very scary pictures of burned outlets. Regular 14-50 outlets are meant for stationary appliances that will only be plugged in once and left plugged in. These devices typically draw 30-40 amps for an hour or so while in use. EV chargers pose radically different challenges for an outlet. For starters, many people will plug and unplug a portable charger frequently, cheap outlets can’t handle this and wear out. Secondly, EV’s draw up to 80% of the rating for the circuit for 6-10 hours, generating significant heat. A standard outlet isn’t up to the task, so some manufacturers are designing outlets that are. Hubble and Bryant are the gold standard for 50 amp outlets. My photos are comparing this Lider 14-50 outlet to a Bryant 6-50 outlet. As you can see the Lider outlet is beefy with large connectors like the Bryant. The connectors look like they can handle the heat and constant draw of an EV charger. I’m using these for an outdoor EV plug in on one side of my house and an RV hookup on the other. These are fairly priced high quality outlets.
