Yes, connector wear 'is a thing' in fact I do think some of the issues you hear about NEMA 14-50s overheating can be due to connector wear. I was at a destination charger the other day and happened to look in at the contacts and OMG, I was appalled at the mess the contacts were in. At the end of the day I did decide to charge from it, but I was wondering if anyone carried a can of contact cleaner with them?
Even plug cycles can wear the plating. ABC always be charging! In 10 years x 365 days x 1 plug cycle per day = 3650 plug cycles, thats a lot of plating wear!
