Saved me more than a few times.

My EV came with the normal 110 charger but, having never owned an EV before, I was worried it wouldn't be good enough so I ordered this before I even had the car. For the first couple of months, I was very careful about charging every night, so I actually didn't use this charger for a long time.Eventually though, I got a little too comfortable and would've been late to work or appointments multiple times if it were not for this bad boy. I generally got home every day with only 40% battery left…

Pros
  • 100% SATISFACTION: We are credit for your trust. Whenever your Mustart EV chargers have any problem or anything simply not meeting your needs, please contact us and we will provide a two-year warranty.
Cons

Rugged construction and long cord

I bought 40A 6-50 updated version for $349. I had bought previously another more expensive charger with App control and few other bells and whistles for about $600. Mustart works same as the more expensive one since I hardly use the App with the other one. Plus the cord on Mustart feels much more rugged and coarse compared to the other one which is good for carrying 50A of current. I hardly look at the display, but it has some information if that interests you. Most importantly Mustart takes…

Pros
  • Garage & Shop
Cons
  • It may be heavier than other portable charging solutions

I bought the unit to charge my Bolt EV. For nearly 2 years it worked perfectly, then I started getting an error. Response from Mustart was quick. A new unit was delivered and is now working again. I intentionally did not get a fancy charger with too many bells and whistles as experience has shown that those are just more things to go wrong. The functions of this charger are simpler, but completely appropriate for the task. The amperage level was chosen to match the wiring of the circuit I was…

Pros
  • Very good product. I would recommend it to anyone.
Cons
  • It may not be as durable as other charging options on the market

Excellent Upgrade from Level 1 EVSE

I recently bought my first electric vehicle (2019 Nissan Leaf), and I was dismayed at just how slow the Level 1 trickle charger that came with it was (I hadn't done enough research, and the dealership did not exactly advertise it). Despite a very small daily commute, I needed 7 hours of charging each week as a minimum and longer commutes required excessive planning/use of public charges- which are few in my area and about four times the cost. This MUSTART Level 2 40 A charger has been a very…

Pros
  • Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment
Cons
  • The cord may be prone to tangling or knotting

Excellent charger, minor issue handled through great support!

I've had this charger for about 14 months, and it's performed flawlessly with about 3 uses per week. It's fast and super easy to use, and the display shows all the relevant details for those who care about such things. I've had issues with other chargers intermittently and randomly not working with my car (2015 VW eGolf), but never with this one, it's always plug-and-go.A couple weeks ago, I noticed the cord was starting to pull out of the wall plug slightly, and the insulation was starting to…

Pros
  • The 25ft cable gives you plenty of room to maneuver your vehicle while it charges, making the process more convenient
Cons
  • The device may experience overheating or electrical issues over time

Unbeatable customer service from Mustart

We originally purchased the Gen 1 version of the 10-30 charger. We loved the cord and how fast it charged our car however it began to trip (an slowly burn out) our 30amp circuit breaker. We had our electrician examine the issue and he measured as much as a 31amp draw from the charger. Unfortunately we didn't think to document the electrician measurements but this was no issue after contacting Mustart support. Mustart listened to our issue, asked a few questions, and then decided to send us a…

Pros
  • With a 240V power supply, this charger provides a fast charge that can get you back on the road in no time
Cons
  • It may require more effort to keep clean and maintain than other charging solutions

Updated: Got free replacement (Started smoking after 6mo)

UPDATED: Had the below issue and was reached out to by MUSTART Customer service team that worked with me to get a replacement at no charge. Excellent customer service and very easy. Changing my review to 5 stars as I am happy with the replacement and really appreciate good customer service.OLD REVIEW:Worked fine for a while and then noticed that the car was only half charged after full night being plugged in. A week or so after that saw it smoking when I unplugged it. No way to return it or get

Pros
  • SUPER COMPATIBLE: Works with all SAE J1772 vehicles, the EVSE is compatible with all plug-in EVs. *Tesla requires a SAE J1772 adapter.
Cons
  • It can only be used in locations with a compatible electrical system

Quality charger for a great price!

Here’s the thing. Why buy a fancier charger when your car most likely already has charge scheduling capability built in? When it comes to price, this one is definitely on the bottom end but that doesn’t mean it’s bottom quality. I was surprised to feel the weight and high quality of this charger with its small but useful led screen giving essential data. I love that it came with a wall mount for both the charger box and port! Do yourself a favor, save some money, go basic, and car battery go up

Pros
  • HIGH QUALITY: This portable charging station is made to last with durability and reliability. It is lightening-proof and has leakage, overvoltage, overheat and overcurrent protection, so you can safely charge your vehicle.
Cons
  • Over time, the charging cable may become damaged or worn out, requiring replacement

Perfect for the money

Takes under 2hrs to charge our 2023 wrangler 4XE vs. 12hrs the stock 110v charger. Worth the money. Seems well built. It may not have as long of a lifespan as other charging solutions!

Pros
  • The weather-resistant design makes the charger suitable for outdoor use, even in harsh conditions
Cons
  • It may not have as long of a lifespan as other charging solutions

Customer Service A+

Customer service was excellent I had a small issue and this company made it right. BTW this charger suits my needs and charges my car a lot quicker than my last one.

Pros
  • The LED display on the charger makes it easy to see the charging status, so you can easily monitor progress
Cons
  • Using it improperly may damage the EV or the charging station

Plugged in, works just fine.

Plugged the charger to the drier outlet and just works effortlessly. The cord is long enough to reach the car in the garage without too much hassle and saved a lot of money on having a dedicated outlet installed at home. It would charge my 65W battery pack from 0 to 100 overnight.

Pros
  • Charging Stations
Cons
  • It may require additional adapters or connections to work with some EV models

Good solid 30 amp charging option

I've had this for a few months now and it's worked as expected. I did run into a problem with mine, but the company replaced it right away without an issue. I'll update this if the replacement has an issue, but given that they replaced the other one so easily makes me think that it doesn't happen often enough to be a problem.

Pros
  • The charger is incredibly easy to use - simply plug it in and start charging
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions

Awesome charger for BMW i3!

Recently bought a BMW i3 and quickly wanted to upgrade the included 120V charger. Purchased the 26-Amp version with NEMA 14-30 plug as our house was pre-wired for anticipated electric car charging. It took a little under 3 hours to charge a half-depleted battery. If the battery were fully depleted, I'd imagine it would take 5-6 hours for a full charge. Using the included 120V charger would've taken nearly 12 hours, or longer, to charge from empty. The display gives useful real-time information…

Pros
  • With the ability to select charging rates, you can customize your charging experience to your specific needs
Cons
  • It may emit a strong electrical smell during use

Home charger for my ID4

Had electrician add my 220 outlet and install this little gem for home charging. Works great!I drive 100+ miles interstate several times a week so home charging is a must. This does the trick just perfectly.

Pros
  • The compact size of the charger makes it easy to transport and store, so you can keep it with you on the go
Cons
  • Its design may not be as sleek or stylish as other charging options on the market

great company - my new review

The level 2 charger is a great upgrade over the oem level 1 charger. I am giving Mustart a 5 star rating because of the customer service they provided. The customer service Joan was very helpful in getting in a replacementcharger to

Pros
  • The charger is built with safety in mind, including safety features to prevent overheating or overcharging
Cons
  • It may be more difficult to find replacement parts for than other charging solutions

Good Customer Service On Warranty Replacement

I've now had this for just over a year and it's been great for charging my Bolt through a pretty brutal Wisconsin winter. We don't have a garage, just an outdoor 40A outlet, so being able to stuff it into its carrying case and keep it inside when we're not actively charging is super-helpful.For some reason it stopped charging the car in early July, but the process for getting a warranty replacement was pretty straightforward, and the warranty replacement is now here and going like a champ. It's

Pros
  • With a 240V power supply, the charger is capable of delivering up to 6 times faster charge rates than a standard 120V outlet
Cons
  • It may be more prone to mechanical issues over time

Mustart Stands Behind Product- Good Customer Service

Purchased the unit in January 2020 and recently had a problem with it not connecting to my 2017 Chevy Bolt. The car dash lights said "Charge cord not fully inserted." Revain helped me contact Mustart and they contacted me immediately and had me run some tests and video, and send to them.Customer service Joan immediately said she would send out a replacement. Now that's good customer service and a good company. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another product or recommend them.

Pros
  • The MUSTART Level 2 Portable Charger is easy to install and does not require any special tools or training
Cons
  • It may require more training or expertise to use compared to other options

Easy to use, charges well

We just purchased a used 2012 Mitsubishi i-miEV, our first electric vehicle. Having never owned such a car, we were nervous about selecting and installing the appropriate level-2 home charger. The Mustart Level-2 charger has worked wonderfully. It is especially helpful to have a model that works with NEMA 14-30 outlets (which are often used for washers, especially older ones), as this was the only available option in our home. EV chargers with NEMA 14-30 compatible plugs are hard to find…

Pros
  • You won't have to worry about running out of battery while you're out and about with the MUSTART Level 2 Portable Charger
Cons
  • It may require a longer charging time compared to other options
