Not the person you're asking, but it might also be where it is installed. The connector I looked up online is rated to +40C, and being located in direct sunlight on a hot day could derate the connector compared to a temperature controlled environment. Add in some dirt or corrosion in the connector and it will generate more heat. Like you said about buying a high quality connector, something with more margin in terms of current will help prevent problems from developing.The electrician may have been referring to the 16 amp connector specifically being too close to the charging current.
