As some might recall the Chevy Volt charger is unofficially confirmed to support 240V and I have successfully used the Volt charger with only 240V for 8months without a problem. The circuit board and parts are rated for 240V.
Anyway it looks like my wife Prius Prime charger worked fine the...

I'm fairly new to the Prime scene, but have not found any information on this here. Recently, the charging cable for my 2020 Prius Prime stopped working. I charged with it one afternoon/evening, and it charged fine. I drove ~30 miles the next morning, got back home and plugged it in as usual and it would not charge. The dash display only shows "Charging port lid open". The light in the charging port never turns green. As I understand it, based on the manual, when the CCID is plugged...

Steps:
1. Park and turn off the car
1a. No schedule is set, and I don't select the Charge Now option.
2. Plug in a Chargepoint cable
3. The light below the charging port turn solid green within a few seconds and stays solid

The next steps normally happen within 10-30 seconds, but now are...

All of a sudden, it's not charging anymore. I plug in the charger, the little light near the charger turns green for about 5 seconds or so, then it starts flashing for about 10 seconds and then shuts off. No charger ever starts on the car. The 3 blue dots never start blinking. When I open the door the Display reads "Charging Port Lid Open". Usually it would show...

But it didn't help at all. It still asks me the same and I say "Yes" almost every time.
Yet, I have never seen it run the A/C during the charging.

From other readings I get the impression that the batteries basically only have so many charge cycles in them before exhaustion.

Does anyone know which is true? A pattern of keeping the battery between 25-85% charged will increase the number of charges compared with a policy of running it to 0% and then...

Do any of you know of a Tesla (NACS) to J1772 adaptor that for-sure works with a 2017 Prius Prime?

More detail:

Our Clipper Creek EVSE started reporting some sort of problem this morning. I don’t yet know whether the issue is in the EVSE, the circuit, the outlet, the cable, or what.

However, if the EVSE itself is dying, now that we also have a Model Y, it might just make sense to ditch it and just use the Model Y’s mobile charger.

If so then, it would be good to be...

I can't find this ANYWHERE in ANY of the manuals? Maybe it's there, But I can't find it.

I need to order a Level 2 charger and I don't want to buy the wrong one.
