Seeking recommendations for an aftermarket Level 1/Level 2 charger

The OEM flex charger for my 2023 SE has been interrupting it's charge- 'having to check the app frequently, to see if it's still charging. When it has stopped charging, I go to the car, open & close the door- the white status light illuminates, I re-plug in, and charging will continue. For a while. Neither the charger, or the AC outlet is warm at all when charging. The car charges fine without interruption at the DC fast charger place. I'd like to see how the car does with a different Level 1/2 charger. Any recommendations?
Thx.
 
I had the same issue with my aftermarket Level 2 for about a year, it would connect fine, then after 5-10 mins would shutdown and stop charging. Eventually I figured out it was poor connection between my Mini's charging port and Level 2 Plug, loose "pins" is what it was. The Plug would get quite warm/hot, after I replaced the Level 2 Plug, problem solved, great connection and has never got warm/hot. Plug should be fairly snug and not wobbly loose, having it get really warm/hot is a good indication that poor/loose pin connection, which could eventually stop the charging early.
This is the one I keep in my Mini when I travel, it is Level 1/2 charger, so can be used in regular 120/125VAC home outlet or 240VAC Range/Stove outlet, so flexible as you can charge 16A-32A:
Also, just happens to be on sale too!
There are plenty of others around too, but depending are where you are, should be able to get a good Level 2 charger for under $200, wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales and look for one that can be returned if you are not satisfied with it, nice thing about Amazon, you have until Jan 31/27 to return.
