Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Includes all hardware for installation into your garage or carport. Installation is easy for the diy'er if you have the 50 amp circuit with the right wall receptacle. Wall mount bracket to the wall, mount the charger on it, and plug it in.

The display is easy to read and tells me everything i want to know. The build quality is great and the unit looks really sharp. Very satisfied with the product and the price. It's awesome. I'm loving it so far.

It's cheaper, is a smart charger with some level of wifi control, and you can use it without the j1772 adapter. For any non-tesla that uses a j 1772 plug, this is a nice alternative however.

Standard j1772 connector, lcd display, hook and holster are included in the package as well. The charging cable is a very good quality cable. The cable is compatible with the j 1772 charging station.



Cons

The plug's port was also bubbled from the heat. It's very frustrating. I have a 2022 kia ev6 and i have to restart charging at least 8 times to get a full charge as this charger constantly fails.

Quality


Very well made, good directions and easy to install in our home.

I had an autel before, and after 2 weeks it started giving me issues - would only charge the car sometimes.

Price


At the ~$450 cost, i would recommend looking for a less-expensive charger, as there are many on the market and can do exactly w...  Read More


You will probably be facing a $1000 -$1500 bill.


What caught my eye was the style of this unit and the price point for a 48 amp charger.


Frankly, what we have saved on gas since we bought the bolt has paid the car payments, so even if we had to replace the charger...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


This is a very attractive charging box that unlike many others has an lcd display.

Competitiveness


Smart chargers have their place, but this is a great alternative to people who like simple and reliable.


I would recommend probably going for another brand, one that has:– charge-session timer / start-end time settings– app or web m...  Read More


So, in summary - if you have a tesla, don't bother - there are better options.


It took a lot longer to charge the audi with a smaller battery than my mercedes with a larger battery due to this unit.
