A recent Technology Connections video mentioned people are configuring chargers to 48 A when they're using 14-50 "50 A" sockets that are really designed for 40 A continuous current. Or they're using aluminum wiring without corrosion protection, or not abrading the oxide layer.
Oh for sure that too. Also that was a great video.
