Review on 🔌 MUSTART Level 2 Portable EV Charger with NEMA 10-30P - Efficient EV Charging Station, 240 Volt, 25ft Cable, 26 Amp (Updated Version) by Ian Iknokinok

The NEMA 10-30 dryer output version of this product draws 26 amps. The NEMA 10-30 outlet and its typical wiring and circuitry are rated at 30 amps, but only for short term loads. In the case of continuous loads over many hours, e.g. when charging an electric car, they are reduced to 80% capacity or 24 amps. Therefore, this charger, which draws 26 amps, violates the 80% rule and can cause excessive heat build-up in the wiring of this circuit. It's only two amps, so it's probably not a big deal in the winter or for short charging sessions. But if you're going to leave this thing charging in a Texas garage all day, I'd be concerned about overheating cables for sure. Why take the risk? There are better options for those charging through a NEMA 10-30 dry socket.
