Review on Efficient And Convenient EV Charging With MUSTART Level 2 Portable Charger (240V, 25Ft Cable, 25Amp) by Ryan Cornelius

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 including charging time, total electricity consumed in kwh, output power and charging voltage and current. The included accessories are a nice touch. I did install the cable hanger and holster to complete the look of our home charging station. As with other reviews, the connector is very snug when plugging it into the charging port. I don't find this a problem as I'm sure it'll loosen up over time. Pulling the connector straight out helps. I wish the rubber protector cap on the connector were detachable, as it is unnecessary when using the wall-mounted holster. The charger looks sturdy and the cable is super beefy to withstand many years of use. Great product at a great price!Update 4/4/2019: After about a month of use, the charger continues to work like a charm. Charging from a fully depleted battery takes a little under 4 hours. We keep the charger continously plugged into the electrical power outlet. Because of this, the total electricity consumed never resets and shows the cumulative total unless you unplug the charger from the wall. Curious, as the time to charge resets everytime the car is plugged in. Would be nice to have both reset so that you can see the time to charge and kwh consumed per charging session. The only way to achieve that is to simply unplug and plug back into the wall. Just a minor annoyance. Regardless, the display is definitely a nice touch compared to chargers without one.
