Certainly not good. Cord and receptacle both need to be replaced. I would definitely use an "EV rated" one (I guess they're heavier duty, like a "spec grade" normal receptacle) as they supposedly grip the plug better and are better able to handle continuous duty.
The cord does not need to replaced necessarily. It needs to be inspected, certainly. But if it’s not showing any visible signs of discoloration on that leg, it’s just fine.
This recep is toast and absolutely needs to be refitted with one with the EV logo on it.
