So one house I visit frequently has a NEMA 5-15 outlet in the garage (and no 240V EVSE). The plug was frequently 40C or hotter when I was using the included EVSE to charge at 120V. That outlet failed (not sure why, perhaps from too much heat) and the GFCI wouldn't trip when I hit the "test" button, so I replaced the outlet with a commercial grade 5-15 outlet. Guess what? The thing runs about 20 degrees cooler now.
