    I need a new one, but seriously $800 for these things?

    I already have a 240v charging line, all I need is the cable that came with the car--its a 2020.
    are there cheaper knock-offs?

    Can this replace? I have no idea what the amperage need be.

    Look on eBay, You do not need to use a Toyota, nearly any make EVSE will work.
    But, how did you damage it? if the cable is cut (just wires0 it may be repairable.

    It's a Ford cord, but it's J1772 end mates well to the Prime;).
