I'm trying to find a way to use my original car charger with a 14-50 outlet. I need an adapter, but I can't find the right one. Can someone help me?
The adapter from Amazon mentioned above looks like practical means for powering the GM Clipper Creek EVSE cord from a 240 volt 14-50 outlet. The neutral/ground consideration mentioned in the posting above is correct. However in this case, the GM Clipper Creek EVSE contains a GFCI circuit which will disconnect if there is a leakage fault. Both sides of the AC input have interrupter relays, so that in a fault condition the vehicle will be completely disconnected from both hot wires.

A 14-50 outlet should not be used on a 30-amp circuit unless a neutral wire is connected. It's dangerous and may harm your appliances. You need to replace the outlet or upgrade the breaker.
Thank you. That’s good information.EVDOCTOR 4EARTH provides a list of "240 volt compatible" and "non-GFCI" cords.
