Highlighted: the lines this signal was extracted from

So I was in Home Depot and asked a clerk where the EV chargers were. (in tools "hardware" but they had none). Anyway, I saw a flash on their screen that had a LECTRON NACS adapter slashed to $50. (for CCS cars to DC fast charge at Superchargers). My store was out of stock, but FYI.

Also quoted as evidence

  • [comment u/SalvatorTarnmoor] Home Depot either has perpetual inventory management problems or engages in bait and switch, probably a bit of both

  • [comment u/podwh1tehawk] Good find and amazing price, but availability is really scarce.

  • “Might be the old "vortex" that isn't UL 2252 certified, rather than the new "vortex plus" properly certified one. In their regular online catalog, they have both, at the same price ($200)”

  • “Good find and amazing price, but availability is really scarce. I've seen two: NACS -> CCS and CCS -> NACS in CA, FL, VA and somewhere else. Both priced between $37 and $70. Some stores have cheap Lectron EVSEs too, but those are highly YMMV and local pickup only. Inventory checker https://www.rebelsavings.com/home-depot/”
