Short summary
Electrify America and EVgo have both "banned"^ 3rd party Charging Adapters, only ones by automakers are allowed.
Electrify America have also "banned" electric boats, home-built electric vehicles, home-built onboard chargers, and vehicles that contain personally modified chargers.
^no way to actually enforce this ban, as nether the car nor the charger can see the adapter being used.
Sounds like a Liability covering exercise mostly.
TOS for those who are still struggling to sleep even after watching Damien's Videos.
