Skysword Ⅱ Level 1-2 EV Charger, 100-240V 16A 25FT Portable EVSE, NEMA 6-20 Plug with NEMA 5-15 Adapter Electric Vehicle Charging Station

UPDATE: Seller reached out and apparently, the charger I have was the "old" unrevised model which was later revised and released as the current version. The new version of the charger (the later 2 pictures) is significantly different from the previous version. The charge handle itself feels much more premium compare to previous version, and it's now much easier to plug into my vehicle and pull without getting stuck. That's a huge improvement for us! And for the 240V to 120V adapter which is what caused the burn and overheating issue with my old charger, the new version just used an adapter without any extension cord involved, and I can totally see the reason behind it since the longer the cord is, especially with extension cords, on the adapter which conduct the electricity, it has more chance to generate heat which is what happened to my previous charger.And I've been tested this charger on daily basis to charge my vehicle at least 4-5 hours a day, and for 1 month now, the adapter portion gets a bit warm, but nothing compared to what happened to my previous charger. I think this revised version is much safer to use, and the quality improved quite a bit compared to the previous versionHave this as my spare EV charger for our Prius PHEV, kind of like the idea with it being able to operate with both 240V and 120V. Never actually use it on 240V outlet since I already have my level 2 charger installed with it. Occasionally, I like to drain the battery all the way down and top it off using level 1 charger for optimize battery health. Have use this for a while now and never noticed any issue with it, however, the biggest issue with this budget charger is poor "charge port" design. With my TOYOYA OEM charger, it's easy to hook and unhook the charger from the vehicle, however, with this charger, it's hard to hook the charger up to the vehicle, and especially hard to unhook it from the vehicle, I think this due to the poor charge point design. I can live with it since it's a budget EV charger.However, few weeks ago, I started to smell very strong plastic smell in my garage. At first, I thought it's something from outside. But it started getting worse and worse every time I use this charger. So I decided to investigate into this and find out where's that smell came from. After few mins of searching different plugged in devices, I decided to check the circuit of this charger, and to my surprise, the cord was insanely HOT! And trace it up, the connection between 6-20 to 5-15 connection was the hottest point, and it actually burned my finger! After unplugging it from the outlet and let it cooled down, I unplugged the connection, and discovered from what show in those 2 pictures!!! I don't know what kind of material they used in this charger, but it's definitely something that's not able to let this charger operate normally!!!I even double checked with OEM charger to make sure this is not something with my garage outlet, and during the whole charging process, the entire circuit of the OEM charger nevers gets hot! If you're looking for level 1 charger, this is definitely not the one you should consider because it nearly started a fire in my garage if I didn't look into this in time!!!

Outstanding customer service. Quickly replace a defective charger. New one works great. Good quality. Fair price!

It works. It holds up month after month after month after month in the brutal sun, wind and rain. Good connection. Easy to install (just plug it in on both ends). Thick cord. Doesn't overheat. We use it on a Honda Clarity.

This Zencar charger never charged my 2012 Prius plugin hybrid as fully as the one it was replacing (doesn't show as many EV miles available from a full charge). Now, after about a year of use, it has spontaneously interrupted the charging twice in one month. I did not touch the connection nor have we had any power outages, so the interruption must have been caused by the charger itself. Unfortunately interrupted charging causes an error message to appear on my dash telling me to pull over immediately in a safe place and get the electrical system checked. The only way to clear the message is to take it to a dealer or mechanic. The first time the Toyota dealer charged me $200 for "diagnostics" on my car's electrical system (not on the charger), only to determine that the error was caused by interrupted charging, external to the car. The second time the dealer grudgingly reset my error code for me without further diagnostics, but warned me he wouldn't do it again for free (thank for the great service, Toyota). So now I am stuck with a defective charger that I don't dare use because who knows what's happening when the charger "interrupts" -- might it send a jolt to the car, causing actual damage?I've notice also that over time the cable from the charger to the car has gotten kind of shriveled and lumpy. Not a very good quality cable - maybe this is related to the interruptions. Between the lack of a full charge, the interruptions and the poor cord, I rate this a "1" for material quality.Lastly, the charging plug (the J1772) does fit, but it's a VERY tight fit which my wife cannot even make herself. I have to push very hard to plug it into the car and pull hard to unplug it. The previous charger was not nearly so tight. This is why I rated it only 3 ("average") for ease of use.If you're wondering, my previous charger was the original from Toyota, only replaced because the cord accidentally got mangled by a snowblower and no electrician would agree to repair the cord for me (afraid of liability). I charge from 110 volt line, not 220. But that hasn't changed.

I had this charger for about a year or 2 when I had moved to a new town. This charger worked really really well, survived some of the worst rain, snow, and hail that I had ever seen even over night, and charged my car in half the time my original car charger came with. For context I have a 2012 chevy volt used cat, my original charger would take the whole night to charge where this particular charger would have my car fully charged after an 8hr shift. The only negative to this charger is that the wall plug broke. It was hanging out of the wall socket so luckily no other damaged was caused and I also don’t put it past my ex employer to have damaged this charger as it was found broken on my last week with them after putting my two weeks in. But this was a great charger for me, my car, and my charging habits. I’m getting this cable again.

The Megear support team is excellent. They worked with me when I had a problem with the charger. 5 stars for the customer service!
