Not trying to scare you, but... if you can afford it, order the replacement before mailing in the one you got, or you risk getting back the same one.
No clue where you're living but this sounds a lot like the reality of ordering online in rural Ohio these days. The best anti-capitalism propaganda out there is how bad the buying experience is these days. Especially if you are trying to specifically buy something slightly obscure or often copied? I find I have to try to buy something 3, 4 times before I get it right. At least it has ended shopping for fun in my life I guess.
If a mains connection would help bridge the gap, couldn't you get one of those Type-1 adaptors and plug in on an EV charging point every now and then?
I'm aware that that's not how you're supposed to use a charger, but under the hood it's simple enough and should get you access to a 120 resp. 240 volt socket pretty much anywhere.
What I have is a 120V/15A standard connector, which is attached to a 24V/17A charger, so to fully charge 7.7kWh is an overnight affair.
I was thinking about something like this (link to evil employee-exploiting megacorp ahead - booo!): J1772 to NEMA 5-15 adapter in tandem with a 110-240V to 27.6V power supply with a bit of oomph (like this, provided we're talking about lead batteries) should give you access to several charge points in most towns. Assuming that I'm not missing a problem that's obvious to you.
Is there a way for us to exchange small pieces of information in private? No promises but I might be able to help you out with the hardware.
