This is Tesla's recommend plug. Turns out the home improvement store grade $10 outlets tend to fail as they are meant to be installed behind an oven and plugged in once. If you intend on plugging in to this outlet frequently you need to invest in a good industrial grade outlet.

There is substantial heft to this thing compared to its cheaper counterparts.

Installation isn't a breeze though. It's deep, much deeper than others and it barely fit in to my existing box with a deeper mud ring added. Getting 6 gauge wire to cooperate in a box is no easy task. The wire strip gauge is quite a lot deeper though than others I've used.

I draw 32 amps through this continuously for a few hours and this stays very cool to the touch.

I bought it open box and received a brand new outlet with all accessories, just not in the original box.

Don't buy Leviton 14-50 outlet for EV charging!

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

I bought this Hubbell 14-50 outlet after my Leviton melted after two years of charging. The pic of the melted outlet is the Leviton 14-50, the new one next to it is the replacement Hubbell 14-50.

Some background. Semi-permanent new install, using a wall mount Leviton 40A 240V charging box (also branded as Bosch as I've noticed). Car is a Kia Soul EV+, which takes in max 6.6kW (almost 30A), and fully charges from zero to full (about 30 kWH) in four and a half hours. I usually charge the car for a two hours or less, since I don't drive that much. The 14-50 cable was plugged in only ONCE, and never unplugged, as it is a big wall unit. After two years of getting really hot the plastic part around one of the terminals melted, and the wire disconnected. I never saw or smelled, or felt any smoke, fire, or anything wrong. It was just one day the charger didn't turn on. Looked around, and saw what you see in the pics. Thankfully, house didn't catch on fire and the Leviton charging box is still OK.

-The Leviton outlet is cheap. It uses just a single phillips head screw to tighten down the cable into a galvanized stamped U-shaped piece of steel, and I tightened down the 6 gauge wires as much as I possibly could. Can't put much torque on a phillips, as it just cams out. Also, the outlet prongs for the 14-50 plug are half length, galvanized steel. Very little contact, very cheap, and prone to overheating.

-The Hubble uses a 5/16 allen head screw that tightens down a solid copper V-shaped block onto another copper block. Good conductive material, well thought out design. Much superior to the Leviton, but the price shows it. Seeing the melted plastic, I opted for the best possible because I didn't want to take chances on......my house/car. Sorry, but no amount of money saved is worth catastrophic risk.

-The breaker never tripped, because it wasn't using that much current (not nearly the 50A needed to trip). Just got too hot, under the amount needed to trip the circuit, but way too hot, and slowly melted over time.

-The wires were fine except for the part that plugged into the Leviton. I had to replace the wires because they had burnt plastic coating them. I took the time to replace all the wires because, might as well.

-The Hubbell is about twice as heavy as the Leviton.

-The Leviton was about $11.00 from the HarDware store. Hubbell was about eight times that from Amazon.

-Using a temp sensor, the Hubbell got as much as 95 degrees F hot, but probably lower than the Leviton did. I didn't know it was melting until it was too late, but I imagine the temps were much hotter than 95.

-Don't buy or use Leviton 14-50 outlets for your EV charging. It might work for a while, maybe even two years like mine, but eventually the plastic will melt and look like mine did. It probably works for ovens or dryers, which it was made for.

Much safer than standard dryer outlet and the one to get to charge your Telsa

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

If you are setting up a socket like this to charge your Tesla this is the one to get. I originally installed a cheap socket from Home Depot and it lasted about two years before burning up, melting, and causing the circuit breaker to trip. To be honest I am surprised the fault did not start a fire. Let’s be honest, you spent a lot of money for your Tesla so do not take a chance and cheap out on the receptacle to plug the charge cable into.

High Quality

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

I was pleased with the high quality of this plug. Plate-style wire clamping, driven by solid 3/16" hex heads. I tightened down firmly on 8 AWG without a second thought that I may be stressing or distorting a plastic body. Nope. This thing is solid.

I used a 2 1/2" hole saw to install this into a cheap NEMA 1 enclosure I got off of Amazon as well. BUD Industries 8x8x4 box.

Top quality NEMA 14-50 outlet for electric vehicles

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

After spending more than $50K on your Tesla, do not trust your house and vehicle to a cheap Home Depot NEMA 14-50 outlet. The problem with the cheaper outlets is that the wire clamping is not as secure, and the plug connectors don't fully connect to the entire plug with. This means the cheaper outlets are subject to wearing down from plugging and unplugging, as well as to fires and melted parts due to the stress of fully loaded charging.

Do yourself a huge favor, and protect your car and house with this Tesla approved, industrial quality outlet. I have it hooked up with 6 AWG wires. I only pull the plug out when I need the charger for trips, about once every month or two. But, it's super solid to unplug and plug the charger.

Tip: The size of the outlet is larger than the cheap ones, so you'll an outlet cover with a larger hole. Look for the Hubbell SS701 or another with 2 31/64 inch hole diameter.

Heavy Duty compared to Leviton

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

It looks heavy duty and is not cheap. I purchased this after initial Leviton melted while charging my EV. This product was recommended by Tesla and people in its forum. Slight difficult to install due to size but not a big deal. Only used few times after replacement, still have some concern since last melt down while charging. 4 stars due to higher $.

This is what you want for your Tesla 14-50 Receptacle

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

This is for sure a nice heavy duty receptacle. I had the one from Home Depot ready to install, then I found this one. To me it's well worth the extra $60.00 or so. I did not weight the two, but I would guess it's 30% heavier. The connections are top notch, and the connections are to be torqued down to 75 inch pounds.

Spend the money, get a quality receptacle.

Very well built for Tesla charger

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020

Length: 50 AMPVerified Purchase

For my Tesla UMC charger. If I move, I can take my charger with me. Definitely use a larger box such as the Hubbell-Raco 8257 (2-1/8-Inch Deep, 1/2-Inch and 3/4-Inch Side Knockouts Welded 4-11/16-Inch Square Box and Raco 888 Raised Square Exposed Work Cover, 2-5/8 in Dia L X 4-11/16 in W X 1/2 in T, 4-11/16", Gray). It will help with more room to bend the thick conductors. Built to house the Hubble NEMA 14-50 HBL9450A.
