Review on πŸ”Œ Schumacher Portable EV Charger: Level 1 & Level 2, 16A, 240V - Charge Electric Vehicle Batteries 3X Faster! by Scott Decoteau

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great deal on a portable electric car charger from a well known company

I have an electric car but I can only charge it with the 120V charger that comes with it because I rent out my house and I dress I can in the garage do not install a 240v outlet to use a faster charger. I wanted to buy a second 120v charger to keep in the car just in case I'm visiting a friend or traveling and need to charge the car from a regular outlet. But even most 120v chargers are expensive and many come from companies I've never heard of before, so I'm worried they could start a fire. Then I saw this charger from Schumacher and was very surprised at the low price. Plus, it can charge up to three times faster than a regular 120V outlet if you have a NEMA 6-20P outlet that can support 240 volts and 16 amps. I suppose you could use this with your fork if you have the right converter, but I haven't tried it yet. For me, this feature will be used in the future when I own my house instead of renting it out. But now I'm just happy to have an extra charger to keep in my car in case of an emergency from a company I trust.
