L 14-50 EV receptacle

Just installed the new EV rated plug for a Porsche hybrid, found out a standard range cover will not fit! 70 miles to a place that carries the correct cover. Looks like my hole saw skills will come into play.

Been there. The one you need is about 1/8-3/16” larger in diameter.

I was able to find new old stock at the supply house.

The packaging was old and yellowed. The counter guy even commented. “ I wonder how many times these have been inventoried”

That size has been around for a long time. Just not commonly used.

Just an fyi, I was able to punch a regular range rs cover with a two inch conduit size cutter, then over cut slightly with the same cutter, and it fit snug.
