Recommendation for a portable charger cable for NEMA 6-20?

[DennisIS]

I searched and couldn't find an answer - apologies if I missed it.

I've been using the charging bale that came with my wife's Volvo S60 Recharge on my 2025 Air GT with no issues. Sure, it takes a while but it's fast enough for my needs. Would not be true at 120V....

She is going on a road trip with her cable.

I have the Lucid charge cable - but it has no NEMA 6-20 plug and no apparent way to be told to throttle back to <20A at 240V.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a charger/cable?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks... I was hoping someone in the Forum had direct experience with one. When I look online at reviews, most of the units have both good reviews and a good-sized set of bad reviews... I think I'll just shop for another Volvo mobile cable that comes with the NEMA 6-20. I had hoped to be able to swap the NEMA 50 connector on the Lucid but it assumes either a NEMA 50 or a 110v supply and can't manage anything else.

I saw that the ClipperCreek LCS 20 is well regarded but not manufactured anymore? I did see them on ebay, with this seller offering new units for $250 plus shipping.

Not a recommendation, but on a random search, one under $100 seems to be ok.

There are 2 who rated 1/5: 1. Cable too short. 2. Using higher amperage against the OEM recommendation resulted in a burnt plastic smell.
