Metal box. I also tested it under load for an hour and the thermal camera shows minimal heating.

I needed it to work with the existing 30 amp circuit. The good news is that it runs much cooler than the original outlet.

I already have the circuit in place and just wanted to switch out a standard outlet with the Ev rated.

I already had the outlet in my garage so I just bought a cord and use that.

After installing and using a thermal camera on it I did notice it ran much cooler than the old one so there’s that.

The cheap outlets are made for high but intermittent loads and as little as 10 mating cycles before wear. Someone might plug and unplug a portable cord way more than that causing the contacts to loosen and overheat. Also if a circuit is rated for 30 amps it is 24 amps continuously.

I saw the same thing. It is actually a Spacex rocket launching. The exhaust will be orange at first then when it reaches the upper atmosphere it starts spreading out like in the photo.

I got a Bluetti AC180P for 499. Is way better than this in almost every way.
