Lectron NEMA 14-50 Level 2 EV Charger - 15 ft Extension Cord & J1772 Cable - for J1772 EVs

The installation was easy. I like the hook to hold the cord and the piece to clip the charging head into while not charging.The charger head clip orientation causes the charging head and some of the cord to stick straight out, perpendicular to the wall so it uses a little more room than necessary. this wasn't an issue for me, it doesn't stick out too far. I wish it could be mounted so the charging head can be stored more parallel to the wall.The charging block with the digital reasout is hung on a single nail or screw. This makes it easy to hang on the wall but acts as a pivot point, allowing the block to move when moving the cord. It doesn't have an effect on how it charges the vehicle but drives me nuts seeing it move and not hanging straight up and down. The level one charger that came with my 2022 Bolt hung on two nails\screws. It was a little more difficult initially mounting it, getting the spacing correct between the two mounting points, but it held the block securely.If this had two mounting points for the block and a way to store the charging handle more parallel too the wall then this charger would be perfect.

The unit worked fine with the EV6 once I told the car to not pull as much current as possible. Initially I got an over current fault after a few minutes with the current going as high as 45+Amps on the display.To stop the charging early, I would prefer to have a stop button rather than having to unplug the unit from the wall.This is not a good choice for an ID4. The ID4 can not be set to 90% like the EV6. It can only be set to 8A in which case the car will charge very slow.

This charger worked fine for a while. Started having serious problems with overheating. Runs for 30 min and the car shuts it off because it is getting too hot. If you look on-line (Reddit forums and more) you will see that this is a VERY common problem. Some have reported it melting the car charging port - fortunately mine seems to shut it down before it gets to that level. Lectron tells you to change the settings in your car to low, but then you take the amperage down a lot, and slow the charging process. Unfortunately for me it's too late to return, so a WASTE of hard-earned money. Buyer beware!

I order this charger for my 2014 Chevy Volt so I could recharge my car when I visited my son whose just a solar array installed. He also got a 40A electrical outlet from Sun Power free of charge. I received the charger on Friday 6/10/22 in a vey secure shipping package which included a original package with the complete charger assembly which actually a charger cord with a display showing the information while charging your car. The assembly has a 16-ft heavy duty cable and a gigantic NEMA 14-50 plug. I tried this charge cord at his house yesterday 6/11/22 and it worked as advertised. My car battery received 37 miles in 4 hours which is very the same as I get from my wall mounted charge cord at my house. I love the display that shows the real time current and the charging time. This allows me to monitor the car charging without turning on my car display window, I cannot say much about its reliability since I just used it only one time but its robust construction indicates that it will last a long time. I will update my review after 3 months of use.

This product has only worked for about 4-6 months and then it started giving me problems. Shows 0.7 amps or 0.5 amps than stops charging. Sometimes it shows 40 amps and works for an hour or so and then stops automatically than I have to keep trying to see if it charges. It makes life very stressful, going to upgrade to a electrify America probably because I have a VW ID 4, so I am assuming those work the best with this vehicle...

Surprised to find it does not regulate its upper power limit. Allows the car to draw higher amperage and then throws an error. Most cars do not draw that much, so most likely not a problem for most.

This charger works very well as advertised. Level2 charging with 32.3A drawn at 7.5 kwh by my chevy Bolt EV and noticed even the chargepoint only provides max about 6.6 kwh.The charger doesn't heat up and the cable is very sturdy and yet at the same time very pliable to twisting for storing on a wall hook I installed separately. I am glad that I don't need to pre plan to drive, park and charge my bolt elsewhere in a deserted parking lot and can leave it charging with this EV charger safely in my garage.

Terrific EV charging station! The electrician easily tied power into fuse box, and ran wire up toward front of garage, to vehicle intake. It was a very simple install. I also purchase a “J Hook” that works well holding the nozzle and cord. During charging, the read outs are clear, and easy to read, and offer all the data needed during a charge. My electrition was impressed by the quality of the unit. Although the limited “test” charge worked extremely well, I looked forward to the initial charge with this unit shortly! I would highly recommend this charging station for your EV.
