There hasn't been any mobile Connector Longevity discussion since 2018.
Longevity of HPWC vs. Mobile Connector
I wonder if that's because there is no longevity issue or if there is no interest in the topic.
I recently purchased a Gen 3 Wall Connector thinking the 2nd gen Mobile Connector with Nema 14-50 is not meant for long term daily charging.
$500 is not an insignificant amount of money for me. So if if there is really no issue with the Gen 2 mobile connector lasting 5 years, maybe I don't need the Gen 3 WC and would unload it.
Next someone will say well you can charge faster with a WC. My circuit is wired with 8 AWG copper THHN with a 50 Amp breaker so with a WC hardwired I can charge at 40 A vs 32 A with the MC, roughly 25% faster, but charging speed is not really an issue.
