Review on 🔌 Splitvolt 24A NEMA 14-30 EV Charger - Portable Level 2 240V, 16.4 Ft Cord - Fastest & NEC-Safe 30 Amp Circuit Charging - EVSE Compatible with J1772 EV Plug - Tesla, Ford, Chevy, Audi, Nissan Compatible by Zachary Jackson

First, I have a 2020 Tesla Model Y that comes with its own 32Amp (7.6kWh) charger. I had a professional install a 240V outlet with a NEMA 14-50 adapter in my garage and also put in a 60A breaker system for a more powerful charger. The Tesla charger worked fine at 7.6kWh, but I wanted a 40 amp charger for a higher speed of 9.6kWh. I saw a split volt 40 amp charger online and thought the price was great for that speed so I ordered one. Splitvolt came this Sunday May 2nd. I tried it right away, but unfortunately it kept draining my energy. Light after Tesla started drawing more than 32 amps (continuously put out about 37 amps). The Tesla screen prompted me to check the charging equipment. I experimented a lot and finally I was able to coax the charger to 40 amps with no output, but only after I limited the Tesla to only taking 32 amps from the charger. Then I came back after 10 minutes and let the Tesla gradually draw up to 40 amps. It was great to see the car charging so quickly and I hoped it was a temporary issue. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't Tesla or the professional installation as they've worked great in the past. Unfortunately Splitvolt keeps doing the same thing no matter what I do. I can't watch out for a 40 amp charger every time and I already have a reliable 32 amp charger. Even when I moved the charger a bit to check it stopped charging with power leak signals. So I sent it back today and ordered a new one from Splitvolt. I hope the one I received was defective and not normal. I would like a 40 amp charger for the price Splitvolt sells it for but it needs to be as reliable as a Telsa charger. Replacement should be on Thursday. I hope to update my review and write off the review as a faulty disposable charger. UPDATE: Since the replacement won't ship until Thursday, I ordered a Mustart EV Charger (40 amp) because it arrived tonight. It works great at 40 amps (so far) and the technology is better (and lighter). It's about $30 more than the Splitvolt, but it's lighter and has more feedback on the display. So I'm sticking with Mustart EV. I think the Splitvolt EV works fine up to 32 amps (and a bit more) but at 40 amps it just doesn't work consistently and crashes. The new Tesla will pull up to 48 amps at 240-245 with no problem, so EV chargers should be ready for that. Update: Now Muststart EV is not working properly. At first the LCD screen didn't show amperage, kWh and total kW charged, but it worked fine while the car was charging. Then on the second day it failed to charge twice, which was supposed to last 2 hours. I had to disconnect and reconnect it to get it working again. Babysitting chargers is simply unacceptable, and perhaps the lower price point (under $400) is what you're paying for the truth here. Both were unreliable so I'm sending the Mustart back too and using a 32 amp/245 volt Tesla charger for now. That's a lot of fee.
