L 14-50 EV receptacle

[nizak]

Has anyone looked into the difference in physical construction of a L14-50 EV receptacle vs a standard one?

Thanks

This compares a $10 Leviton to a Hubbell $50+. The new Leviton EV receptacle is supposed to be equivalent to the Hubbell. I’ve not seen one in person.

Hubbell one also weighs 2-3 times as much as the $10 leviton.

The Hubbell is 75°C termination rated isn't it? I also remember the Hubbell being rated for continuous use at 50A. I believe the others are 60°C and are not rated for continuous use at 50A.
