EVSE NEMA 10-30 plug and cable getting pretty hot - is this normal?

I'm aware that it takes more than a minute to warm up.. Just checked if it is functioning. I'll charge at 9 pm when electric rate goes from 17.5 cents to 5.006 cents per kwh. Will check temperature every 30 minutes to see if it heats up.
Same manufacturer.. Mustart was very responsive and sent me a 32 amp unit on my request to replace the defective 26 amp version

 

Charging for 30 minites so far and 14-50 plug is only a little warmer than garage temperature. No excessive heat so far. Will keep monitoring but it appears to be working fine. Control unit shows 47 C which I believe is also normal considering the relatively hot garage temp.

 

1 hour and 20 minutes of charging and 14-50 plug temperature is still the same..

 

That number fluctuates between 219 and 265 volts, averages out to about 240. Voltage fluctuates, even when using my electric tester. It's not consistent at 240 volts.. It jumps..

 

My electric company lets me view my hourly use which is really cool. You can see the jump at 9 PM when charging the car... The Red part of the chart is PEAK and green is OFF-PEAK. Off Peak is priced at 5.006 cents per kwh and PEAK is 17.482 per kwh. The use during the day is mostly the AC running.. From the previous night, you can see the 120 volt charger pulling very little until 5 AM when I disconnected it to drive to work..

 

On cloudy days, my consumption is around 60 kwh per day while on sunny and hot days, it's close to 100 kwh in summer.. From June to September, I'm using about 2000 - 2300 kwh per month. However, from October to May, I'm only using 1000 to 1300 kwh per month. (that's before the Kona). That number will likely be 200 - 300 kwh per month higher this fall, winter and spring. I have to run the heater less than 10 nights per winter. Some winters, I don't need the heater at all.. Our AVERAGE high in January which is our coldest month is 74 F (23 C) for the high and 51 F for the low (11 C) but some winters, we have 80's all January long (and 60's for the lows)..

Electric bills run around $220 to $250 from June to September and $110 to $150 for the rest of the year.. My electric bill also includes my pool pump running 4 hours per day and I also have a well pump to supply my house with water.. Also.. 3 fridges, 2 water heaters etc...

 

Just put it on Craigslist..

 

One of my neighbors cut his electric bill in half with a solar system.. He still needs power from the electric grid at night as his solar system does not have batteries, so he only gets juice from it during daylight. Systems with larger capacity batteries are just not worth the investment. Takes 15 years or so to pay for itself (even after 30% tax credit).. That's too long..

 

Oh, didn't know that it was built in.. They sell the ones that just sit on your deck here at Costco. I thought that it was one of those..
I would not remove it if it's built in as it will add to your home's resale value if you ever want to sell it, even though... houses are so expensive in Vancouver that it probably won't make a huge difference.. I checked real estate prices when I was there 2 years ago and I was shocked that there were no houses in West Vancouver with over 120 m2 for under a million canadian $.... I know that Burnaby is a little cheaper but compared to Florida, still 2 to 3 times more expensive.

 

I was told that many people from Hong Kong started moving to Vancouver after the Chinese took over. That drove up the Real Estate prices...
