32 Amp EV Charger Level 2,(NEMA 14-50, 32A/20ft,7.68KW) Portable Electric Vehicle Charging Station for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

I purchased this item on March 25, 2023. It was delivered to my home for a total cost of $337.85. It integrated perfectly with my Toyota. I especially liked the digital frame that disclosed the voltage of the incoming current and the total KW used to charge my car. On March 27, 2023 it partially failed. It continued to charge my car. However the digital frame that disclosed data about the charge failed and is now totally black, with no disclosure. I will continue to use it to charge my car. I am disappointed that the digital feedback has stopped. NOTE : The warranty was for 12 months and it lasted for 24 months. * * * * * I have been in contact with the company that made this item in I suppose China. The item is out of warranty. The company has offered to repair the item if I would pay all shipping charges and custom duties both way. I do not intend to take the company up with this offer as it is still charging my car and I do not want to bee without the item for the period of time that would take. But, I consider the company to have made me a fair offer considering that the item is out of warranty.

January 27, 2021 my wife bought a new 2020 Bolt EV. For a couple weeks we used the 120 volt charger that came with the car. Because it took so long to charge after my son's 120 mile round trip to work, he could only drive it every other day. I installed a 240 volt 50 amp receptacle on the wall of our carport and we started (and continue) to use the LEFANEV 32 Amp EV Charger Level 2. We have now used it for well over a month and it has worked flawlessly, charging the Bolt after a 120 mile trip in about 5 hours (depending on the weather as the Bolt uses more power when it is cold for heating). We like the information the LEFANEV 32 Amp EV Charger Level 2 provides for us: voltage, amp draw, KWH used, and time used providing power. (It also provides a temperature reading, but we are not sure of what the temperature is. My son thinks it is of the battery, but I have my doubts.) We just plug in the Bolt when parking it at home and leave it plugged in until we next drive it.

UPDATE (May 2022): This charger has performed flawlessly with two different EVs. The cable seems durable and the housing has never overheated or gotten uncomfortably warm. On my Tesla Model Y, it completes an ~80% charge from about 10% remaining in about 5.5 hours, pulling ~32A at peak (even though the Tesla is set to pull up to 40A). Fast, no-nonsense Lever 2 charger. Cable is well insulated and controller box is sturdy and the small digital display is easy to read. I like the summary of the last charge's time and kWh totals, and it's easy to see amps and line voltage when charging is under way. If you planned to travel with it, it would be nice to add the coiled carry bag to keep things organized. I'd also recommend the hook if you don't already have a suitable wall fixture for all those feet of cabling.

We bought this charger in June 2021 and so far it has worked flawlessly. Plug it in, charging is set to begin during off-peak hours (after 9pm) and the car is fully charged by 5am, even starting with the battery at 20%. It needs space around it to dissipate the heat, so keep the surroundings clear and you won't go wrong. And the price had dropped appreciably, so that is an added bonus for new buyers.

After looking at all the different brands I went the frugal way and so far so good. I have a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. It charges good, maybe even better then the level 1 charger. I think I get a few more electric miles. And just the fact that I can recharge it after running errands and I am good to go in 2 hrs is amazing. The con is it doesn't go in as easy as the Mopar level 1 that came with the car. I always feel like I want to fidget with it so it would start charging. I really don't need to but because it doesn't have that clear click sound when it's in it makes me feel like it's not connected. Other than that it seems to be really working well and will pay for itself fast with the great gas savings.

Have used this charger for the last year and no trouble. Works with Tesla just fine as well. An additional note about Tesla. I had some issues with this product on the 2021 Tesla Model 3. It seems to want to push 35 amps at the Tesla and it causes it to heat up and shut down after about an hour. The fix is in the main control screen of the TESLA, set the AMPS from 32amps to 30amps. The Tesla seems to push for max draw which makes this push to 35AMPS, when it is very happy at 32amps all day long with the BMW i3s

It installed quickly and easily. Perfect cord length. Unit worked great for about 1 year, but now it constantly overheats. I can only plug it in for about 2 hours and the temperature rises to about 150° and it stops charging. It's good that it protects the plug, but bad that I can't get a full charge. Nothing has changed in my car, garage, or configuration. I have cleaned the contacts on both the charger and the car. No other charger that I use overheats - just this charger. I can't seem to contact the seller, so hopefully the seller will contact me. Will post update if the seller makes it right. Otherwise, be aware of the potential overheating problem.

We are using it as a permanent charger in the garage. It’s nice to know that we can unplug it and Take it with us, if we can find a way to plug it in on the road. I don’t have any other charges to compare it to, but so far for the last month it has worked perfectly. It did cost $250 to have a 220 V four prong outlet installed. A standard three prong dryer outlet does not work. It charges my Chevy bolt from 10% to 90% in about five hours, which is fine for when we’re sleeping. Using this will prolong the life of the battery more than using a level three charger that is even faster.
