Lectron Level Charger Extension J1772 Tools & Equipment Review

It's unbelievable how quickly our new Mercedes CLK 350e Hybrid charges. I'm glad we installed 40 solar panels here in the desert and hooked up our electric car garage. Free fossil-free energy!

Arrived faster than promised and in good condition. Robust connectors at both ends of a thick, well-insulated cable. The 240V AC/DC converter has an easy-to-read display that shows the charging current and temperature during charging, as well as the total kWh and charging time when complete. My albeit small 9kWh plug-in hybrid car battery charges in just 1 hour 45 minutes instead of 7-8 hours with my old Level 1 charger. :)

Great product for the price $26 (plug, wire, box and trim) to install a 240 plug under the dash and only took 5 hours to charge. From 30% to 100% for the new VW ID-4. So all in all, less than $400 to get a level 2 charge at home. We've received estimates for installing plugs and chargers ranging from $1,700 to $3,000. The product does exactly what it says and I've read reviews that say it doesn't lock, but at least on the ID-4 it locks until you stop loading in the app.

My Model 3 is loaded with a factory adapter, as stated in the description. The charger has a 40 amp output from a 50 amp circuit. Charges 40 mph without air conditioning. The only downside I have is the lack of a carrying case or pouch that comes with the charger. updated 10/29/21. additional amplifiers go through the cable than it should. I have 46 amps and this causes errors and interruptions when charging.

1. 30 day guarantee? No thank you. 2. Not private label, this is a rebranded Chinese model. Not that that's necessarily a reason not to buy something on your own.3. When used for the first time, both the voltage and the current consumption were misjudged. The voltage showed a 10V drawdown, which didn't match my multimeter. All this makes the estimation of the total energy after charging very inaccurate. So I returned it and bought Blink HQ. I'm very happy with it and costs basically the same…

Great EV charging station! The electrician easily hooked up power to the fuse box and routed the wire to the front of the garage, to the car's air intake. It was a very simple setup. I also buy a "J-hook" that holds the nozzle and line well. While charging, the readings are clear, easy to read and provide all the data you need while charging. My electrician was impressed with the quality of the unit. Although the limited "test" charge worked very well, I was looking forward to the first charge…
