Wide voltage range mobile chargers-suggestions?

[eopiela]

I have a 120/240 mobile EVSE https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D6P5MVM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which has served me well. It works on 120v outlets with an adapter, and on NEMA 14-50 outlets as well. I took it to our ranch today and it errored out with the message "short circuit" which I figured out was caused by the current from the 240v outlet being 265v. I called our electric cooperative and they told me that their standard voltage is 255-265v because of the long distances between substations, and basically said they couldn't do anything to reduce my voltage. Does anyone know of a wider voltage range EVSE I could buy for use there on a 265v circuit?

Holy cow, that's kind of ridiculous. I think most electronics that are dual voltage will be 250v max.

You need a whole home power conditioner, I hope you get cheap electricity.

How far away is the transformer serving your property?

That's apparently part of the problem, the transformer is less than 15-20 feet from the NEMA 14-50 plug, so very little voltage drop due to line loss.
I would be interested in seeing any EVSEs which are designed to work with 250v if you can share.
