No, the Lectron Portable J1772 Level 2 EV Charger with a NEMA 14-50 plug cannot be directly adapted to plug into a Level 1 (120V) outlet. Here's why: NEMA 14-50 is a 240V, 50-amp plug — typically used for RVs or electric ovens. Level 1 outlets are standard 120V, using a NEMA 5-15 plug (the typical household outlet). Plugging a NEMA 14-50 device into a 120V outlet, even with a mechanical adapter, would not work and could be dangerous or damage the charger — because the internal electronics expect 240 volts.
