“Charges my 2018 Prius Prime in just over 2 hours. Fast charge is EXTREMELY important
Adding a fast charger (240V) seems to be a huge part of hybrid vehicles, and the faster you can charge the better. In my case I went from getting about 700 miles per tank (120V charge) to over 1300 miles per tank (240V). Charging in two hours or less typically means I leave my house on a full charge. And as most of my runs into town are 25 miles or less there isn't any gas used. I just filled up after 21 days and had 1360 miles on the odometer, and the fill-up was 10.3 gallons.
Before this charger I would only have a full charge once per day because it typically took over 6 hours.
Installation is easy, add a 240V circuit breaker and a plug and you're set.”
“Really fast charging
Charges Nissan Leaf at 32 Amps in just under 3.5 Hours! This is drastically faster than the 18 hours the level one charges at. It is definitely not worth it to spend the $600-$1000 for the other chargers sold on Amazon or at the dealer. The charging Plug is also different from most of the other EV Chargers on Amazon. This one fits nicely and looks much better!”
“I have the 50' 40 amp version at the end of about 50' of 50 year old 10 gauge wire on a 30 amp switch. Less gauge than I need, I know, but it's a funky circumstance as part of it runs underground together with other wires. Theoretically I should never expect more than a 24 amp charging rate and would be lucky to get that. I did have some trouble at first with it only wanting to push 16amps without flipping the breaker. The 10 gauge had not been used in decades and the car was new to me. Anyhow, after a month of reliable charging at 16 amps, I decided to try and creep back up to the theoretical limit. Happy to say, I'm now charging without issues at 24 amps. I may eventually upgrade to 6 gauge to push up to 40 amps but I really don't need to.”
