Carbon Fiber Level 1+2 EV Charger (16Amp, 110V-240V, 25ft Cable) Portable Fast Charger with Holder, NEMA 6-20P, Works with All J1772 EV and Hybrid Vehicles, for Home and Outdoor, Black, Ecogenix EC23

I've been using this charger as a level 1 for 8 months now and I have 0 complaints. I rent a garage so i have to use a standard outlet to charge my car. It gets about 2% an hour for my 2021 VW ID.4. The wall mount was super easy to install. Compared to the pricing of other chargers i found this one super affordable. I've also found that when I'm charging to 80% my car finishes faster than it estimates which is nice. Cord length seems respectable and is thick enough to be used outside if needed.

I just got my first EV last month, and bought this as I waited to get a level 2 charger installed. It actually charged much faster than I expected, and for my needs I found I don't really need to invest in a level 2 charger. I live 7.5 miles out of town, and can usually recharge a days driving around town in a few hours, if I drive further an overnight charge will usually fully charge. I have a 150 mile per charge car, so it may take longer for a larger battery, but I have never had an issue. I was told to expect 2 miles an hour but find I get closer to 4.5 with my car, a Nissan Leaf SV, which is one of the smaller batteries for an EV. I may still invest in a level 2 charger since my state will pay for it, and the federal government is offering $1000 towards installation for rural people. But, this has so far been enough. It is lightweight, easy to install anywhere you may need to use it, as long as you have access to any normal 120v outlet. It fits nicely in its bag, and stores easily in the trunk, taking very little space. Ive used it for over a month and found it's durable in all weather, though I think in the sun the cord gets hot, as when I laid it across grass once the grass under had turned yellow in the few hours I had charged. I don't know if it's because it's black and heats from the sun, or if the actual current heats the cord, or both. At a time when it wasn't sunny I touched the cord and it didn't feel hot to the touch, but when it's in direct summer sunlight that is something to be aware of. Make sure it's not directly on grass or something flammable. Otherwise, I have found it's more efficient than I expected, and I'm happy with my choice. There are dozens available, I chose this one because it said it was faster and more efficient and that has so far been the case.

The media could not be loaded. Having recently delved into the world of electric cars, I decided to invest in the Ecogenix Level 2 EV Charger as my portable EV charger. This charger is powerful and exceeded my expectations.Unlike my previous level 2 ev charger, which often encountered errors and glitches. I used ecogenix ev charger daily for 1 week, this one works flawlessly every time. The peace of mind knowing that my car is being charged efficiently and safely is truly invaluable. It's smaller than a carry-on suitcase, so it won't take up much space in my trunk. I like that it's portable so I can easily take it with me and use it when I'm out and about. if I visit family or a friend, I can use it at their house. Plus, it's a fraction of the cost compared to the manufacturer brand chargers. And don't worry about compatibility – this charger works on all evs, there are adapter works for tesla. I can personally vouch for its compatibility with Volvo vehicles.The material is durable and built to last. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the charger is UL certified, providing an added layer of assurance regarding its safety standards. The cord is very thick and sturdy. doesnt get very hard in cold whetherand, for the price, this one is a very good value.Highly recommend the Ecogenix Level 2 EV Charger to anyone in the market for a reliable and efficient charging solution.

It works but it takes forever to charge 1%. 42hours to charge 41->100%?!!!!!? I think its better to buy level 2. The problem is I have no outlet for 220V as I am living in an APT with No garage. Sorry, I am returning this.

I purchased this EV charger with some concern about its current draw at 120volts. There are absolutely no external controls on the device. The manual says to set the current level and charging schedule before using it, but doesn't say how to do that. Having said that, there are no other drawbacks at all. The charger didn't blow any circuit breakers and provided around 1.7 kW of power, as reported by my car. Actual charging time seemed a bit less than the car expected, but not wildly different. I have done two charging sessions so far with absolutely no issues. The cables and control box do get warm, but not hot, and the indicator lights on the box worked exactly as expected.So far this is a very good product and works as advertised. Recommended.Someone asked about the wire gage. The charging cable is labeled 3X14Ga and 1X18Ga, 600V, 150C. These seem very appropriate for this charger. Still works great!!

This was partly due to a 15a receptacle ( which should handle ) on a 20a breaker. This is quite common but not a great set up. Note you need to know you can handle 16A ! The plug adapter is dangerous as many people won’t know if they have an outlet that handle this.
