Overall Feedback:
69% positive
79% praised the fast charging speed
After using this charger, the charging speed has improved from 26-29 hours to 8-10 hours.
I can charge my Volt in 3.5 hours from zero to about 30 miles in the winter in my garage directly next to the charging port.
77% liked the universal compatibility, but 23% didn't
I would have preferred if the original product had not broken at all, but the company recovered well.
I faced a problem with the type of plug used, which caused a bad connection and prevented my car from charging.
I faced a fire hazard by plugging this product into a circuit strip with a smaller gauge wire, even though the strip itself could accommodate high amps.
My charger stopped working after a week and my car would not respond to it anymore, it would not initiate charging.
78% appreciated the durable construction, yet 22% experienced issues
The charger feels sturdy and the cables are thick and strong, indicating its durability.
I have had two chargers of the same brand and the second one stopped working due to water entering the controller block. I drained the water and left it to dry for a week before plugging it back in and it worked fine afterwards. Having a completely sealed case would be better.
After 8 months, the plug failed due to a short inside, indicating poor durability of the product.
The electric-vehicle-charging-stations stopped working within a month of one another.
78% found it easy to use
After installing the outlet and using the cable, I typically charge the battery in 3 hours or less.
I was surprised by how easy this charger was to use and how fast it worked in the level 1 function.
With the new charger, I can now charge for max capacity in less than 3 hours, compared to the old charger which took 8-9 hours for 25 miles.
71% appreciated the maintenance needs, but 29% didn't
This EVSE is good for me as my breaker panel cannot handle higher amperage 30A+ EVSEs.
The light indicates a grounding issue, but charging is allowed anyway. It may be unsafe in the long term, but convenient for emergencies.

The electric vehicle charging stations stopped working after a year and 2.5 years respectively, but they worked great before.

I noticed that the cable has a light that indicates if there is a grounding issue but it will still allow charging. Long-term, this seems unsafe but it is convenient for emergencies.
