@Sandyjb, you mentioned that the ZenCar EVSE you purchased was 16A, was it this one?

A link to the EVSE you purchased from ZenCar would be really helpful.

Based on the above, do I basically just disconnect the green/yellow wire and connect it to the non wired pin?

Green is correct as is RED but the BLACK should go to the other verticle pin, not the middle neutral pin!
Personally I'd just move it and also remove the middle pin(neutral) that the black wire is going to now, it's just not needed.
Just to verify, your EVSE does say it's capable of 240v? I'm sure it is but if for chance it says 120v only and you rewire it the way I'm saying......well lets just saying by rewiring it you WILL be putting 240v to the EVSE, just want to make sure it's truly a 240v EVSE
You could go through the hassle of mailing it back to China but truthfully it will probably only take you a few minutes to rewire it and it will be as good as new, it would take you more time to drive to the PO to mail it, kind of bad someone didn't know how to wire it thoughOf course they don't use the 14-50 outlet in China but it's still kind of unforgivable they made that kind of mistake!

NO! doing that would most certainly blow your EVSE!
Move the black wire to the unused pin

Thank you! I always assume the black and white wires are the neutral/ground. Good thing Im not an electrician!
