Good quality charger, definitely an improvement over the one that came with the car

Brief review: This is a quality charger that is really good value for money and I can't think of a single negative point. to say about it. Longer story and details: This is a definite improvement over the charger I got with my Chevy Volt Gen 2 (2017) - main charge cable (car to charge control box) and wall cable (control box to control box). socket) is longer and the main/car cable is much thicker and stronger. The status indicator LEDs on the controller are great too. I have a very similar charger (actually the components are a SAE J-1772 automotive connector and the controller box in particular looks identical, same factory) that I also bought from Revain earlier this year - and this one too for the Sale - but for a little more money and under a different brand. My goal with the purchase was to have one permanently installed in the garage and the other to carry around in the car just to have it with me as I was tired of having to unplug, rewind and put the charger away every time I did that Leaving home when I wanted to be confident and have a string with you. I was expecting to just toss it in the trunk, but it's much better (slightly longer main cord, including a hanging hook that the car end of the charger plugs into for storage, plus a zipped nylon car storage bag, none of that wasn't included with a similarly more expensive charger - and a noticeably longer outlet cord) that I've replaced them: I put _another_ in my car for occasional use and kept it in my garage as the main unit I use daily. expensive.) and it's nice to know that I'll probably just change the plug or get a different adapter (if I have to at all; I'll probably just install a NEMA 6-20 outlet to match the POTATO charger EV ) and I can charge the Volt much faster at 16A with the same charger by simply removing the NEMA 5-15 adapter (regular 15A US wall jack) that is also included.
