The OpenEVSE only uses 3 wires so it would be simple to cut off the NEMA 14-50 and replace the plug. On my OpenEVSEs I cut off the 4th unused prong so that if I travel somewhere I can plug directly into a NEMA 14-30 outlet as well. FWIW, I had the contactor weld closed in my first OpenEVSE after 6 years of service. I was able to file the contacts and it is running fine right now. I did order a replacement contactor I need to install. The second one I bought a year later had not had any issues. The unit properly notified me of the issue and refused to allow any charging so the safety features seem to work. -- David D.
