There are shops that can make custom adapters for this. For example, evseadapters.com Or can also make your own adapter, if you know what type of outlet and plug you are working with, and which wires to connect to which terminals. Obviously one of the slots on the female connector will remain unused, most likely the neutral slot. The two hot connections and the ground connection would be used.

How do you write millivolts?

Write one volt equals 1,000 millivolts at the top of your paper. This is the standard conversion of volts to millivolts. Write down the number of volts you need to convert in decimal form. For example, if you have four volts, write 4.0. Move the decimal point over three times to the right to convert your amount of volts to millivolts. For example if you have 4.0 volts, you would have 4000 millivolts.
