PRIMECOM Level 2 EV Charger 220/240V, 16A, 30ft & 50ft, Portable EVSE Electric Vehicle Charging Cable Compatible with Bolt Volt Leaf BMW i3 Fiat 500e Clarity NIRO Prius (50 Feet, 14-50P)

As stated in another review by Mr. Connor, this is a Duosida charger. In my opinion, it is an excellent unit. I installed an EV charging unit at my daughters house, which cost over five hundred dollars. But my electrical panel was full, there was no way to get a 240 line into my garage. My dryer plug is also too far away to run a cord to my garage from it. So after watching some videos on how to combine two 120 circuits, to get 240, I made my own 240 outlet, as pictured. But I didn't want to spend another $500 on a charging unit for my house, not knowing for sure this would work. I purchased this unit from Primecom/Amazon for $229 and everything worked just fine. It charged my EV last night much quicker than my factory 120 unit that I had been using. And, that unit was starting to apparently have problems? The cord from the outlet was getting very hot during charging. The metal "hanger" that Primecom included with this unit is also very nice. I can't say as to how much faster this unit charged my car, I do not know how to figure that, but it was faster. I would guess at least three times faster? (You should only charge your EV to 80%, if possible, which will make your batteries last much longer, or so I've read). I've read some reviews where other charging units were difficult to attach or remove from the vehicle. This unit is very smooth, attaching and being removed. I would say it is easier than my factory unit at this. I wrote this review because I'm so impressed with this charging unit.

Let me just start by saying my house is old and therefor trying to track down an open breaker to accommodate a Level 2 charger was already a large pain in the butt than anticipated but when I found a standalone outlet it was a NEMA 10-30 "old dryer outlet" plug. 😒 I needed 20+ feet of cord between the plu and available space for me to park my van at night and this charger is absolutely perfect. Quality is better than the manufacturer provided Level 1 charger I received when I bought my 2020 Pacifica. I love the easy read digital screen that tells me if there are any charging errors, elapsed time of charge, current kWh charging rate, etc. Everything about this charger is heavy duty from the cord thickness, to the exceptional quality of the plugs itself. I especially appreciate the cover for thr vehicle plug end so that when the cord is not charging, it is covered. From unboxing to installation this product is extremely easy to use, even for someone who has never owned a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) [I would be that person!] I did a TON of research before purchasing and am extremely happy about my purchase.

It takes under 4 l/2 hours to charge our Rav4 from 1 to 100% and about 3 l/4 hours from 17% to 100%. There may be faster charging solutions but this works for us as we charge in the evening when our daily travels are over. This is the only 50' charger I could find, and we need the length to keep from having to shift cars around in the driveway. Have used this for a month, perhaps 2/3 times a week with no problems. It seems to be well made and, so far, reliable, which is great because finding a cable longer than 25 feet is next to impossible.

Worked great for 2 years. Charger control board then failed. Out of warranty period. Manufacturer wanted $180 + Shipping for repair. Something at this cost should not fail 2 years later

UPDATE: So glad I went with this charger for my i3!! This helps you charge much faster! I have this plugged into my 10-30 outlet for my dryer, 30Amp outlet. Now we can really get the most use of the vehicle and know that it won’t take 18 hrs. to charge through the horrendously slow Level1, trickle charge. Level 1 is such a joke! Long cable so it reaches my laundry room just inside the garage so no new outlet installation required. $aver! Also, service from this place was perfect. I ordered the wrong plug type for my outlet. I called them and they priority shipped the right one, no addition charge and included a pre-paid envelope to send the other one back. Love that the plug head is removable! No Charging errors since using it. I would have constant charge anxiety with my BMW Level 1 charger. Constantly stopped with Charge Error. Awful. No more issues. Thanks!!!!

Buenísimo!, funciona perfecto. Lo mejor se puede usar en tomas de corriente de 120 o de 220 por igual!
