Recharge Rescue Hillsboro: Burned NEMA 14-50 Outlet Replaced With Hardwired EV Charger

From State of Charge.

In this Recharge Rescue episode, I travel to Hillsboro, Oregon, to investigate and replace the NEMA 14-50 outlet that caused a small fire in Braydon’s garage. Luckily, he has a SimpliSafe system that alerted him to the problem before it could turn deadly.
