    Thank you to everyones suggestions, can anyone comment on if getting an adapter to change my 3 prong socket to a 4 prong would be ok to do? I find most options for level 2 chargers are 4 prong now. Not sure if this is safe? I found an adapter on amazon.

    Mexico, Mercedes seems to use the same unit, marked Webasto. Those are on ebay too.

    Based on FoMoCo's.....um....."shifting" EV strategery......I'm pretty sure it's not a "mass produced" unit.... :LOL::ROFLMAO::D

    In all seriousness.....the FoMoCo unit is a Siemens eMobility® product from what I have read.
    It might even be made in the EU.

    It circumvents code, and no independent agency will give their stamp of approval for such.
