PRIMECOM Level 2 EV Charger 220/240V, 16A, 30ft & 50ft, Portable EVSE Electric Vehicle Charging Cable Compatible with Bolt Volt Leaf BMW i3 Fiat 500e Clarity NIRO Prius (50 Feet, 14-50P)

As stated in another review by Mr. Connor, this is a Duosida charger. In my opinion, it is an excellent unit. I installed an EV charging unit at my daughters house, which cost over five hundred dollars. But my electrical panel was full, there was no way to get a 240 line into my garage. My dryer plug is also too far away to run a cord to my garage from it. So after watching some videos on how to combine two 120 circuits, to get 240, I made my own 240 outlet, as pictured. But I didn't want to spend another $500 on a charging unit for my house, not knowing for sure this would work. I purchased this unit from Primecom/Amazon for $229 and everything worked just fine. It charged my EV last night much quicker than my factory 120 unit that I had been using. And, that unit was starting to apparently have problems? The cord from the outlet was getting very hot during charging. The metal "hanger" that Primecom included with this unit is also very nice. I can't say as to how much faster this unit charged my car, I do not know how to figure that, but it was faster. I would guess at least three times faster? (You should only charge your EV to 80%, if possible, which will make your batteries last much longer, or so I've read). I've read some reviews where other charging units were difficult to attach or remove from the vehicle. This unit is very smooth, attaching and being removed. I would say it is easier than my factory unit at this. I wrote this review because I'm so impressed with this charging unit.

Compared to what BMW gave me this charger charges faster and more reliable. Cable quality is very good and been flexible in all winter.

**12/03/2022** Nearly 1 year update (9 days shy of a full year). I am still very pleased with this purchase. The charger is working flawlessly. Our '21 Pacifica hybrid is charging from 0 to 100% in just a few short hours. There have been 0 issues and I have nothing at this point I can complain about. The cord portion lives outside the garage while the charger itself is plugged in to 220V inside the garage. Cord still looks good and makes positive clicks in to the socket on the van and the holster as it should. I will say it is the ONE item I've purchased through amazon that has been flawless. If it ever breaks, I will buy another.Writing this review after 4 months of use. So glad I bought this charger. Initially I was skeptical of the charge at the price point. But after 4 months of use it has not failed to charge and at a great rate.I've connected to 220 in my garage, the read out says it's running @16amps at 245V. Our 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid charges in just over 3 hours. I can say I'm simply stunned and so happy we can run most of our morning errands, return home charge and have a fully charged battery to go pick up our son from school in the afternoon.I will buy again should the need ever arise. A+ product.

I wanted a Level 2 EVSE for my Chevy Volt, primarily so I'd stop having to fiddle with the menus to make it charge at 12 amps every single time I drove anywhere. I was originally looking at a Duosida unit, because it had been recomended to me. But, they don't make one with the 14-50P connector I already have handy. I was just going to re-end it, when I saw this one, pre equipped with the connector I wanted, as well as the hanger. And, it was cheaper than the Duosida once I accounted for the cost of the connector I'd need to buy, and the hanging kit.There were only 5 reviews on this particular listing at the time, so I checked other things this company sells, and all seemed well, so I ordered it. All was very well indeed! As when I opened the box, lo and behold, there was the very Duosida EVSE I had been weighing against this one!As you can see in one of the other reviewer's attached images, the EVSE proudly says "Duosida" printed right on the side of the connector. They stick their own "manual" (a cheap piece of paper) in the box, and, here's the key, an actually really quite nice adapter to make it into the 14-50P. It consists of a foot-ish long piece of cord with the 14-50P on one end, and a twist-lock connection on the other. So, somehow, they get the Duosida EVSE, add THREE fairly expensive electrical plugs to it, the wall mount kit, and then sell it for LESS than just the Duosida unit + hanger.The cord hook is a fairly decent piece of steel, the clip for the head is just plastic, but seems perfectly fine.Needless to say, I am quite happy with my purchase. It's out there charging my Volt right now.

Overheats, stops charging for no reason. Very unreliable

I’ve had this charger for 2 months now and love it. I was using the 110 charger that came with 2024 Equinox but it only gave me about 17% over a 12 hour period at 12 amps, which isn’t enough during the cold winter months. With this charger I get about 50% in about 12 hours and I plug it into my dryer 240V outlet. It was way cheaper than having someone install an outlet in my garage and I figured it would be nice to take on vacations to charge overnight and not have to worry about finding a station and hoping it’s nearby. It’s easy to use, built with a thick cord and while the box is warm after charging for 12 hours it is not hot at all! I love it!
