Duosida Level 1+2 EV Charger(120-240V,16A,25ft) Portable EVSE Home Electric Vehicle Charging Station Universal

Bought 6 months ago, assumed at the time I'd eventually get a higher amperage L2 for the house and keep this as backup/road trips.Been using this exclusively on 120V outlet. Provides me w/ around 1.75KW of power.With typical use (driving to work and back (~50-60 mile round trip).. day out shopping, etc) it either keeps up with overnight charging, or it doesn't fall so far behind that I can't catch up on the weekend.I'm just about to finally install a NEMA 6-20R outlet to do 240V charging with this because there's been a couple of times when we've gotten back from a road trip on Sunday evening with only ~10-20% battery left.. and this charger requires around 26 hours to charge my Kia EV6 back up from 20%-80% on 120V.I usually charge in the garage but it's been unavailable due to some work-tables being setup recently. Had this out in the driveway through some serious rains and it is waterproof.5-stars because it does exactly what it claims, it's flexible (120V or 240V charging), it's inexpensive, it's dead-simple (just works), and I've had absolutely zero issues with it for half a year now.Sure, it doesn't connect to WIFI and require yet another app on my phone.. but my Car gives me all that functionality already.K.I.S.S.EDIT (jan 2024): FINALLY got around to installing a split-phase 240V outlet for this.. mostly because the recent below-zero weather was running my battery down more than usual. This charger worked at L2 power without a problem. Now charing at around 3.75KW.. about 5% of my EV6 battery capacity every hour.I've been tempted to purchase & install a higher current L2 charger, but It's hard to justify the additional cost when this will now recharge about 50% of my car's battery capacity overnight. There hasn't been a single time over the past ~2 years when I've needed to charge faster at home.

This was a great purchase at a great value. I have been using it for several months now, charging two different cars with it (two Chevy Volts - not at the same time, that would be crazy!). Charges rapidly, as much as the Volt can take on 220v and they are both charged from empty to full in only about 3.5 hours.I have it mounted to my house, and it hangs under one of those cheap metal garden hose hangers, so that the 25ft long charging cable has a dedicated spot to be stored. my only gripe is that it comes with a straight plug, not an angled one. It creates a little more stress on the cable that connects the charger to the 220v outlet, since it has to do a 180 degree bend to exit through the wall. Would rather have had a 90 degree plug to make that transition a little cleaner.

This is a basic, but solid EVSE cable that I bought to keep in my VW ID.4, which no longer ships with an EVSE. I have used a similar model in my garage for about 5 years to charge a Nissan Leaf. While this unit charges at a maximum of only 16 amps, that's a trade-off I don't mind making, as I was able to use it on a new dedicated 20 amp circuit that I installed in my garage for less than $100. If you go this route, just remember that at 240v/16 amps, you will be able to add only about 3.8 kW per hour to your EV. For the ID.4, that's about 12 hours to charge from 20% to 80%. That works for me, but if you need faster charging rates, you'll need to buy a different EVSE that can charge at more amps, and install a 40-50 amp circuit and much heavier gauge electrical wiring.

The purpose of this charger is to be able to charge anywhere. It does that. But I really wish two things were different and those two things are worth deducting a star.First, the plug should be a right angle plug. The voltage converter box is a weight in the cord just a few feet from the wall. If it was a right angle plug, it wouldn't pull the cord out of the socket, but since it's a straight plug, it does pull the cord out of the socket. A right angle plug would fix that.Second, the 6-20 outlet is rare. So rare that I'll bet you probably don't have one in your house. Until you pay to install a 6-20 outlet, you're using this in a typical 110V (5-15) outlet. But if you're going to pay to install a 6-20 outlet, why not install a 14-50 outlet? That's the outlet you really want for an EV charger. This charger will only draw 16A from the bigger outlet but it will work fine. This charger's special trick, of working on 110V or 220V will still make it useful.I'd buy it again, but if I was in the room when the discussion around plugs was happening, I'd do my darndest to convince the rest of the team to go with a 14-50P right angle plug.

Have 2 EV's and live in the frigid north [-40F and below sometimes]. I have YET to have any of these fail on me when 3 different dealer supplied ones have failed over and over again [VW, Ford, and Chevy]. Definitely worth getting if you're afraid that things won't charge in the middle of winter.

Thus unit is good if you have limited power available. I had access to an existing 20a circuit in my garage. Was more cost effective than wiring a new higher amp circuit. Not as fast as a higher capacity interface, but works for me. Has never faulted when charging my Mach-E extended range. Has caused our C-Max to charge-fault, but we normally charge that on a level 1 charger. Solid unit for the money.

240 VAC Level 2 EV charger. from Duosida. Works perfectly. Now 3 years old.

Charger arrived last night. I plugged it in to my new 2022 Kia EV6. The car announces "Charging Started". But within 1-2 seconds the fault light comes on and charging stops. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in several times. I have tried it on different outlets. No luck. A new one should arrive today and I will update this review if it works.Update:Same exact problem with the replacement. Had an electrician come out today and confirm there is no problem on my end.DOES NOT WORK with 2022 Kia EV6!
