No, you emphatically cannot get "OEM level" chargers for "pennies". This is not close to being true and has been well documented. Cheap, knockoff chargers are substandard and dangerous.

Ken does some pretty cool teardowns. However, you can, assuming you know where to look. If you're buying gas station knockoffs, of course they're a fire hazard.

The problem is counterfeits are all labeled as one homogeneous group, when they most definitely are not. Some are very, very good, some are not.
