Anyone know if there's ability to plug in the charge station pro vs direct wiring?
Spec sheet says it can be amped down and wondering if you could install a dryer style plug to use with an existing nema 14-50 outlet.

Before the "why would you want to do this?!" questions come, here's my reasoning.

Currently I am in a home I own but is something I am going to be converting to a rental soon. I don't want to hardwire the CSP and then remove but fine having the 14-50 plug.

I am planning on doing the same. I have the 14-50 appliance chord ready just haven’t had the time.
My sub panel that’s in the garage is only 90A so that won’t work to run it at full power and my main panel is full so I don’t know a better solution.

I just wired it up very crudely on my workbench just to see if it would work and charge. It worked fine, just be sure to set the actual dial inside to 40A output max.
