Review on Portable Level 2 EV Charger Station - Compatible With All J1772 EV Cars, 240 Volt, 25Ft Cable, NEMA 6-50 - 40 Amp Electric Vehicle Charging Cable by Victor Shepherd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for a 40 Amp portable EV charger

This Mustart 40 amp level 2 charger works great with our 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and 2021 Audi e-tron. The Pacifica has a slower charger built-in and will charge at just under 30 amps max, so if the Pacifica is your only EV then you will save money buying a 32 amp Level 2 charger, because paying more for a 40 amp charger will not give you any faster charging speed. But if you think you will get another EV in the near future, then it's best to just get the 40 amp model now.As for the Mustart charger itself, construction of the box seems top notch, and the cable is very thick. This was the lowest cost 40 amp charger I could find that had a 25-ft total cord length (chargers under 20 ft wouldn't reach my second vehicle). Note this model is the bare bones charger and attached cables only; it includes no mounting hardware. Mustart sells mounting hardware separately (while other brands includes them) and the cost varies from $8-20. I just used brackets I already had to mount this to the wall.The LCD read-out is nice, however, Mustart should switch the positions of the maximum and actual current read outs. The actual numbers are what I am interested in and what fluctuates. The maximum is just that and will always stay the same. So it would be better to make the actual numbers in a larger font size so that they are easier to read. But hey, other low-cost chargers don't even have an LCD display, so the fact you get basic information with this one is a huge plus.I am very satisfied with the Mustart 40 amp level 2 charger, and would buy this again. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • The size of the charging cable with a total length of 25 feet enables flexible installation and usability. The LCD screen design shows every detail you need during charging, including the real-time current and voltage, charging amount and time.
Cons
  • The charging station may require regular maintenance or replacement of parts, adding extra costs over time
