This problem can be avoided by using an industrial quality (i.e. Hubbell 9450A) NEMA 14-50 outlet. It does cost $80 - $100+ depending on where you buy it. But this is absolutely a "you get what you pay for" situation. I would NEVER buy a cheap NEMA 14-50 on Amazon or other online places where the price is $10-$50. Absolutely not worth the savings.Totally agree. I had my 240 volt nema outlet melt with just using the rivian portable charger. Thankfully nothing burned down.
If anyone out there is hiring an electrician to do an install, insist on Hubbell (any knowledgable electrician would likely use Hubbell anyhow) and make them give you the paperwork out of the package to prove it.
