Works with my 2021 Nissan Leaf

I bought this as a faster charging solution to use with my existing dryer socket. I also bought a split volt splitter and an extension cord. My outlet is in the laundry room, which is across the garage (some distance from where I park my 2021 Nissan Leaf). So far it works great, I get a whopping 24 amperes and a charging time of about 5.5 kW. The quality of the charger and splitter is top notch. I love the readings you get on the split volt splitter, they tell you exactly what's going on and how much current you're drawing. It's also a nice extra layer of protection as it has its own switch and doesn't carry more than 24 amps. I highly recommend this along with a charger if you are using a standard 30 amp dryer outlet. The charger works as expected. You plug it in and the car starts charging. It has a few lights on it, power, charging and then a few error lights but luckily I haven't turned them off yet. The cable is just over 16 feet long, which seems a little shorter than others, but suits my setup. It should also be noted that its IP rating is: IP55. This basically means that the charger is not waterproof. Be sure to check this for your setup. Charging in your driveway or outdoors can be a problem (especially in the rain). I believe it can withstand a small amount of moisture, but cannot be submerged in water (or rain puddles). Again, I would investigate this and see if there are ways with your setup to protect it from direct rain/dew (if outside). I also contacted the company when the splitter was out of stock, they got back to me and helped me complete the order once the splitter was available. My impression is that this is a fairly popular item, so they come and go pretty quickly. Finally, if you try to order direct from their site, they still ship via Amazon logistics, so they ship via Revain anyway. It actually took longer to order through their website. So if Revain is out of stock I would wait until they are in stock and then order from Revain Prime or just order directly from Revain. Overall, I'm very happy with the setup so far. As I mentioned above the quality of the charger and splitter is top notch and this is truly a unique system compared to others that Revain sell. Definitely better than adding another outlet if your home doesn't have these options and you need to upgrade your electrical panel. Warning, I'm not an electrician, so this is just my experience. I've read that it's a good idea to talk to an electrician about your setup and have them check everything to make sure you're not having any problems.
