Hi All, Does anyone have advice on where to buy the black charging cord for the 2016+ GEM’s, without paying $450 with a dealer? Thanks! ---

To specify, this cord: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/6/f/6fc1869f3dd1d5d6c0b19e49d7c3e4b280a1ef28.jpeg) ---

Looks like you have multiple cords there. The house cord and the car cord. My 2016 actually used a regular extension cord. My 2020 and 2022 used what you appear to have in the picture. My 2024 actually takes a regular J1772 charging cord. So the house cord all depends on what you use for a car cord, if that makes any sense. For example you can get a j1772 cord for $75 and get the adapter that goes to your charger for $50 and you’re way under what the dealer wants. ---

Do you have links to a $75 j1772 charger and adapter? ---

Not $75 for both but under $75 each. 😉 ---
