Worst decision I ever made was taking the OEM portable kit at purchase. Wish I could give it back. I purchased another manufacturer's portable charger. Purchase yourself a kit from anyone, except OEM. You will be much happier.

So literally anything would work as long as it has a J1772 plug ?

Hi @superrandom welcome to the forum! Any level 2 charger with a J1772 plug should work for the Prologue.

Here's a video of some of the chargers you should check out.

I have the Acura portable Level 1/2 dumb charger and only used it for Level 1. There was no problem. I have the Emporia Level 2 hard wired charger on a 60 amp circuit providing 48 amps to the car, which matches the maximum the car can accept and provides about 30+miles range/hr charging. The charger was one of the less expensive ones and great reviews, including my electrician. He's had several Tesla charges immolate themselves. Check with your utility to see if off hour discounts are available. In suburban NYC it lowers me from 0.26/Kwh to 0.14/Kwh
Living with Level 1 charges about 3 miles range/hr. Be sure you can live with that.

I purchased a Lectron Level 2. It had great reviews and my local utility offered a $200 rebate on it. There is a list of Energy Star chargers that are pre-approved for the rebate. The Lectron was on it and was $250. I submitted the paperwork for the rebate and got a check within 6 weeks. $50 for a Level 2 (NEMA 14-50) charger . So far works great.
