The article underscores the importance of quality in electric vehicle (EV) home charging installations. Host Tom Moloughney, in his 'Recharge Rescue' segment, visits a Mustang Mach-E owner whose charger malfunctioned due to a low-grade outlet. He emphasizes that not all industrial-grade outlets are suitable for high-power continuous use. The piece compares two plugs, highlighting significant quality and price differences. Moloughney replaces the melted connector with a safe solution, reinforcing that investing in reliable charging equipment is essential for safety and efficiency.
Moloughney highlights a Leviton 279-S00 plug, which typically sells for around $10 and is described as being industrial grade.
The upgraded plug is considerably thicker with more metal inside and better mounting connections for the wiring on the housing.
