Hey all, I found a plug in at work but wasn’t sure which plug to purchase. Is this a 14-50? Thank you.

A man of few words...how about telling us what plug you found at work, maybe a picture. It's all guess work at this point.

 

[NY_Rob]

Perhaps, let me think on it......

 

[qdeathstar]

It is a European plug.

 

[Mtb2020]

Hmm.. the picture won’t load for some reason.

 

[Mtb2020]

Oh. Well I will go with the 14-50. It looks like the one in the diagram on the tesla
Website.

Common plug.

I'll play...

Guess what plug this is?

Looks like a 50 Amp 125/250 VAC Male Power Plug (CS6365 Type) typically found as a shore power connection at marinas for 40'+ boats.

NEMA connector - Wikipedia can help.

14-30L or 14-50L are my guesses.

The Wikipedia NEMA article does have good diagrams.

Yes, I went a little plug happy and picked this up. Haven't used it yet.
50A Locking Shore Power (SS2-50)

Evse adapters is an awesome company, high quality stuff , 6 AWG wire to the connector, I believe I read that they modify / take apart existing Tesla UMC Gen 2 pigtails so that they function just like Tesla's, just offer more obscure EV charging options:

That was an easy one as that is exactly what I have on my boat. Would be too far away to plug in the Tesla in my case but I can see it as being a great way to charge quickly while at the marina. Our marina is really not set up well for charging, in fact there is not even a 120v receptacle within reach any where near the marina. My previous marina had receptacles all over the place including the parking lot.

I am guessing this is a "I forgot to charge" or a just for fun one.. given the higher amps support and integration with Tesla UMC it was worth having.

I wish Plugshare listed these shore power outlets somewhere or had them optional. The only times I've seen them listed were in the comments.

I use 6-50 as my outlet conversion target. I also have 25 and 50 foot 6-50 welder’s extension cord. The 50 foot cord is quite heavy and fills most of the frunk. I can make an outlet converter with an appliance pigtail cord and a 6-50 socket set up for using with a cord.

If I don’t know what my charging situation will be on a road trip to unknown territory, I take the 50 ft. 6-50 cord and my adapter pigtails. Also have a fairly complete set of mobile connector adapters.

This lets me use dryer outlets that are fairly distant from the car. I need the 50 foot cord at my wife’s family beach house. They haven’t yet agreed to have an electrician install a charging outlet near the parking area. I run the cord in a basement window, along the ceiling using hooks I installed, through the basement door and on to the laundry room. The adapter pigtail, 50 foot extension cord and Mobile Connector reach the car’s charge port with maybe a foot or two of slack.

The car reads the welder’s extension cord as 50-amp capable, defaults to 40-amp charging. I set the car to charge at 24 amps, max for a 30-amp dryer circuit. After the first time, the car remembers the setting for that location and automatically goes to 24 amps.
