    The cables at Blink and ChargePoint stations are big and thick. Much different than the Prius charger cable. But they aren't as difficult to insert/ remove onto the Prius.

    I think I can find a way to file or sand the plug connector on the Leviton to make it fit better.

    If you want to build an L1, just buy Leviton's 15A cable. Much less unwieldy.

    But, why aren't you building an L2? It's not too difficult to run a dedicated 240V outlet.
