Overview
A portable Level 1/2 EV charger rated up to 16A, with a 20-foot cable, a NEMA 6-20 plug and an included NEMA 5-15 adapter for a standard household outlet.
It carries an ETL safety certification and an IP65 rating for outdoor use, with physical buttons and an LED screen instead of a phone app, plus a delay timer for scheduling charging 1 to 12 hours ahead. It works with any J1772 electric vehicle; Tesla owners need a separate J1772 adapter to use it.
- 16A adjustable, 6 to 16A range
- 20-ft cable with NEMA 6-20 and 5-15 adapter
- IP65 rated, -22 to 130 degree F operating range
- 1-12 hour delay timer
Who it's for
EV owners who want a portable charger to move between a home outlet and other locations rather than a hardwired wall unit, and who prefer physical controls over an app. Not the choice for drivers wanting the fastest possible home charging speed, since this model tops out at 16A.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works on both 120V and 240V outlets with the included adapter
- Physical buttons and LED screen work in gloves or rain
- IP65 rating supports outdoor overnight charging
- Delay timer allows off-peak scheduling
- Tesla vehicles need a separate J1772 adapter
- 16A ceiling is slower than higher-amperage home chargers
- Outlet must be confirmed as NEMA 6-20 or 5-15 before buying
Performance notes
Current draw is adjustable from 6 to 16A to match a home circuit, and the unit locks in the last setting so it does not need reconfiguring each session. The IP65 enclosure and a -22 to 130 degree F operating range are meant for leaving it plugged in outdoors overnight, backed by GFCI, over-voltage, over-current, surge, short-circuit and over-temperature protection.
