it’s worth noting for those “NEW” to the EV world - NEMA 14-50 is by far the most common 220/240 volt outlet you are likely to be able to find in the wild (in North America) and is a great EV charging alternative if you have your Mobile EVSE with you in the car. NEMA 14-50‘s can be found if you are looking for them and many hotels have them as well as garages/mechanics - however the best source of NEMA 14-50s in north america are:
CampGrounds!!!!
KOA is by no means the only RV campgrounds or park - but they are plentiful and nationwide…
https://koa.com
and you can search their site for "RV site" - which means camp grounds "found" will have a NEMA 14-50.
Yes folks - NEMA 14-50 is a well established standard and _IS_ common at any camp ground because it’s the defacto standard for RV power while at a camp ground…
so worse case scenario (and I”m not saying this is ideal) you CAN charger your EV with a NEMA 14-50 adpater if you can find a campground near where you need to make a charging stop. All you need in the car is:
there are more NEMA 14-50 plugs in the world than you can possibility imagine (including generators) once you start looking.
of course if you then also have adapters for NEMA 6-50, 10-50, and the NEMA SS2-50P you can charge at most _ANY_ 50 amp outlet you’re likely to encounter.
