From Jim’s EV Adventures.
⚡ This video discusses the implications of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act for electric vehicle charger use. Did you know, charger damage will often be the manufacturer’s fault, especially concerning external temperature limits.
As an EV Enthusiast, I emphasize the safety features that matter…external temperatures must remain below 60°C (140°F) for proper operation of your electric vehicle charger. Internal temperatures must never exceed 100°C (212°F). Some of the Amazon "clutter" adapters do not meet this requirement. So BE careful!⚡
