            If it’s an American 3-prong plug, then you’ll need like what Jason recommended (or ask your wheelchair provider if they can get a 2-prong). However, if it’s an American 2-prong plug (like my charger), then you can just plug it in without a problem. If it’s other type of plugs then you’ll need an adapter.
