    For those of you that own a Duosida EVSE unit, how well does your male charging handle fit into the charging port of your Prime ?

    Is it perfect like the OE Toyota EVSE unit, or is tight fitting ?

    It's a tight fit.. When I first tried to unplug for the first time, it I thought it was locked in. It just takes effort and a little wiggling.

    Very tight. I've used dielectric grease, but still pull with both hands to make sure I'm pulling it straight out.

    Mine was a bit tight at first, like many new items. After a month or so of use, it's not that bad.

    Mines not duodisa, but I'm fairly sure it shares the same white connector

    Ok, thanks to all that responded.

    That's what I figured based on my experience with the Chinese made L2 EVSE unit I was testing, my charge handle was unacceptably tight.
