    Do Not Buy This !!!

    This is the most Ridiculous EVSE I think I've ever seen....EVER.

    The seller attached a J1772 charge handle to a Belkin power strip & is calling it an EV car charger !

    How does that even work?

    your EV runs the powercable (there is no extension cord to plug in)

    Funny gun. :eek:

    ********************

    Jez, could you imagine if ~350 Volts and the whopper amount of AMPS somehow came back through that Belkin power strip with its 14 gauge wire ?

    I wouldn't want to be near it....

    The most useful part of that 'EVSE' may be "Comes with a Belkin Lifetime $75,000 Connected Equipment Warranty". I expect you would need that.

    Do they sell the right caliber ammo too? My local Walmart doesn't carry that size.

    ^ Will that charge up a Prime just as fast as that Belkin power strip ?

    After more research, that looks like a Level 3 charging gun and that might be overkill (pun intended) for a Prime.

    You know something like this might actually work as an extension cord for those EU bring your own cord EVSE's.

    Further research says that Is what this is. That's not a Belkin, it's Chinese. Purpose is to allow you to plug in your OEM Toyota EVSE to one of those bring your own cord evse's. Looks like their are a lot of this type adapter mod in the Chinese market.

    The ebay store has %100 positive feedback, guess no ones ordered that product yet.
    I think I'll wait for some customer reviews

    If you look Very Carefully at the back of this "So Called" EVSE unit, you'll see this Belkin part number:
