    there are a number of them on the market now. the quick one (1 1/2 hours) are as cheap as $4-500. there are some threads here with links, or maybe peef can repair your cord and convert it to 230v.

    :) Which EVSE do you have? Factory Prius or Level 2? I assume the plastic connector, handle is damaged/broken.

    I assume he is talking about his factory charger as the one that is broken. :)

    What is damaged on yours? the brick, the plug or the cord itself?

    :) Dampen a cloth with some mineral spirits or turpentine. Gently wipe until it's clean.

    Bug & Tar Remover should work well too. You can find it at any store that sell automotive parts.

    Can the quick 240v charging cables ALSO be used on a 120v outlet? Would this work for PIP?
    Leviton A2034-Pev 30A 20 ft Charge Con I'm thinking of buying a PIP without it's charging cord..

    So we can get the 240v EVSE upgrade, the $25 adapter, plug in to a standard outlet and charge twice as fast? Please confirm. Sounds too easy. Thanks.
