Zoro is owned by Grainger, so it should be an authorized reseller.Sorry to bump this - but does the metal face plate / cover need to be grounded?
And is Zoro and authorized reseller?

Yes, but mark the "red" black cable with some red tape on both ends so anyone in the future knows. Something kinda like this:Hello,
Not much red wire available in my area .
Can I use two blacks , white and a green ?
I am running thhn in conduit
You can run them all in black if you like. It can save a lot of money to buy just one large spool/package of black instead of smaller lengths of different colors. Just mark the neutral white and the ground green at both ends as noted above. You can mark one of the hots red if you like, but it's not really necessary.Hello,

IIRC technically by code unless the wire is 4 awg or larger or part of a cable assembly, you can't tag wires as ground or neutral.You can run them all in black if you like.

For code / inspection, if 6 awg or smaller, the ground has to be green or bare and the neutral has to be white or gray (with any color strip except green) or any non gray color with white/gray stripesI am not pulling any permits but if I sell my house 5 years from now and all 4 wires are black, is that going to be an issue? I am in Illinois
None of the above! You should not trust Amazon for such an item - likelihood of getting a counterfeit product is high. Buy the Bryant version from Grainger. It’s made in the same Hubbell factory that makes the 9450A. https://www.grainger.com/product/Receptacle-Single-49YY93Hello everyone. I'm upgrading my NEMA 14-50R plug after Sandy Monroe's video and reading threads like this. Currently I have a Leviton 14-50, I de-rate the car to 24A for heat reduction, but I want to replace this plug as it's not a good long-term solution.
I'm willing to spend the money, but when going to Amazon I get a few options.
1. $ 55 Amazon.com
2. $119 https://www.amazon.com/Hubbell-9450A-50a-120V-Receptacle/dp/B077Y3NX42?ref_=ast_sto_dp
3, $98 https://www.amazon.com/HUBW-HBL9450A-Receptacle-NEMA14-50R-14-50R/dp/B01IC8GI9I?ref_=ast_sto_dp
I also see Leviton has a EV rated 14-50R now too
1450R
<p>50 Amp, 125/250 Volt, NEMA 14-50R, 3P, 4W, Flush Mtg EV Charging Outlet/Receptacle, Straight Blade, Industrial Grade, Grounding, Side Wired, Steel Strap - Black</p>leviton.com
Which one to buy?
Looks like three different Amazon marketplace vendors with different prices for the same Hubbell 9450A.I'm willing to spend the money, but when going to Amazon I get a few options.

you may need to install a larger one or a box extension to fit some other models of receptacle as a replacement.
Yes, if I were installing a new outlet run now, I'd go with a 6-50 to save money. Especially now that the UMC has an official 6-50 plug. Back in 2016 we thought NEMA 14-50 was the default and future proof.FWIW you do not need a NEMA 14-50. A NEMA 6-50 only requires 2 #6 and a ground so the wire run is cheaper and lighter. I know of no EV that requires a neutral. Yes Hubble makes a 6-50.
There are some that use 6-50. But 14-50 definitely proliferated. I'm not quite sure why.
Is going to a RV campgrounds with an EV super common? I've never actually been to one nor do I know anyone else who has.Perhaps due to commonality with 14-50 RV campground receptacles that some people may want to use portable EVSEs with?
There are some 6-50 plug in wall mount EVSEs, but they appear less common than 14-50 ones.
Yes Hubble makes a 6-50.
