Great charger for those who live in apartments with garages

My apartments have a garage which allows me to plug them in and charge my car. The problem is they have an exit from the garage to the same exit as the main bathroom which has 15a GFCi in the circuit. Using any other 16A charger means the GFCI will be disabled and I won't be able to charge. This lets you choose how many amps you draw, how fast you want the car to charge, and how long you want to wait to charge, all with just a small RFID chip you can attach to your keychain. I charge at 8a…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Can't remember

Clean, simple system

Works perfectly. Once I figured out that the current is only set after the power supply is connected and BEFORE connecting to the machine, the setting was easy. I don't use the timer function like my machine and everything seems to be working perfectly. This gives me 14.9A from my 240V NEMA6-20 outlet, which is good. The display is nice and hanging it on the wall was trivially easy. The only thing I don't like is all that cable because our car is right there. . . . but at least now I have the…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Empty

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…

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

All good except for the RFID function

I've been using this almost daily as an optional Tier 1 charger for a little over 2 months and so far so good. I've found that these tier 1 chargers just don't work with heavy use, but hopefully this will prove me wrong. The device is good, durable, the cable is long enough. A nice feature is also the small LED display that shows you important charging data such as total charging time, total kWh, current, mains voltage, charger activity and temperature (in degrees Celsius, cannot be changed). I

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Love the ability to change the amperage

I bought this model (NEMA 14-50 32A model) precisely because it stated a voltage range of 100-240V in the description in the fine print and demonstrated the ability to change the amperage between 10, 12, 16, 24 or 32A. I wasn't sure if that was true because the article title only said 200-240V. It actually requires 120V. I had to make an adapter to connect it to my 110V (NEMA 5-15) home network. This is great as I can choose 10 or 12A when I'm visiting friends who have a handy outlet outside…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • There are flaws

Amazing and Versatile EV Charger

The Tier 1 charger that came with my 2012 Chevy Volt (literally) melted in my hot southern Utah garage while I was charging my car. I had just moved in and the garage was not yet hooked up to my Tier 2 charger so this charger was perfect to replace the original as it allowed charging from existing 120v 15 amp outlets. I particularly like the multiple power settings, which are useful for reducing power consumption to prevent the controller, electrical wiring, outlet, and charging cable from…

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Zero
