Review on πŸ”Œ MEGEAR Level 1 EV Charger: Portable Electric Vehicle Charging Station with Timer and LCD Screen (NEMA5-15 Plug) by Yuri Rochelin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, appreciate the flexibility

Bought this to charge our new Bolt EV. That works great! The display shows the vehicle's power consumption, which is nice and helped diagnose that Bolt EV charging always drops to 8A when "location-based charging" isn't enabled. I was a bit worried about the charger's weather resistance since it's outdoors, but we've just entered Seattle's rainy season and it's doing fine. 6-20 adapter cord so it can be plugged into a regular 120v outlet (like the one I use now). The flexibility is great although I haven't tried 240v charging yet. For me the charger makes a big difference as 16A / 240v charging will keep the Bolt (and most EVs) going at over 10mph or about 100 mph charging overnight, which is more than adequate for everyday use.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
