@kithytom appears that way. Just curious, why are you looking at the corded connector over the wall charger with is both cheaper and more capable?
my new house have a 50 A circuit breaker with 14-50 outlet already installed, so:

Corded Mobile Connector = 50A x 0.8 = 40A max output
Mobile Connector = 50A x 0.8 = 40A but it only allow 32A max output as we know

So why not upgrade the 50A breaker to a 60A, and get 60A x 0.8 = 48A output from Wall Connector? Because the pre-installed wire gauge/material doesn't support 60A. New wall connector+new wiring+permit costs a lot more than corded mobile connector.
Millions of new homes being built right now are 50A breaker + 14-50 outlet. I bet Corded Mobile Connector will be HOT in the near future market.

Correct, you cannot upgrade to a 60A circuit without incurring a lot of expense. But you can replace the outlet with a Wall Connector, just configure it to 50A. Of course if you can find a corded connector, since you already have the outlet, go for it! If not the wall connector is a good option.

But there may not be enough extra wire in the circuit run, which would add a bit to a wall charger solution.

Good luck!
