MEGEAR Skysword Ⅱ Level 1 EV Charger (110V, 16A, 25ft), EVSE Home Electric Vehicle Portable Charging Station (NEMA 5-15 Plug)

Can’t believe that I saved over $1,000 buying this charger! So called experts said I needed to upgrade my garage outlet to 240 volts and a level 2 charger. Instead bought this charger for less than $200. And I got a full 16 amp charging rate completing a full charge overnight. Achieved range averaging 34-37 miles, while my BMW hybrid was rated at 31. Some charging resulted in 39 miles of range. Only installation was attaching the plug and charger to the wall. Had a technical question and they responded quickly with a very competent, patient, and helpful customer service representative. Great product! Very reasonable price.

The charger is well-built and sturdy with a beefy power cable. The design is light and feels like it is quality construction especially the handle. The overall LED and display is simple and clean, providing the right information. I looked across a LOT of the EV chargers and this one looked the best. While I had an issue with mine, Support was super responsive on the first request and follow-ups. This is really important. All of them can have issues. What differentiates the product and company is how quickly they address the issue. Very satisfied!!

Used this for over a month now, it is not fast by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you don't have a 220V outlet, then this works for evening+overnight charging. It's definitely better than nothing at all our if you don't drive too much. The key is that it charges as fast as some of the more expensive level 1 chargers and is MUCH less expensive the three ones the manufacturer tries to sell.

**2023 Update**I ordered this May 2, 2022, and the charger stopped working in December of 2022.I reached out to the chargers email support. The support company was very responsive. After some reasonable trouble shooting, they sent me a new charger. It arrived promptly in the mail, and the replacement charger works!Hopefully the replacement charger outlasts the original charger.Works well.Only change I personally would make is having a flush 120v plug, so I can close the outlet cover while this device is plugged in.Concerned about the heat generated, this device gets really hot if you have the charger in the sun while in use. Definitely need to keep the charger in the shade.I have used it in the rain with no issues.Thicker power cables than the OEM Chevy charger, hopefully this means it will last longer!

My prior plug-in electric vehicle charging cord had stop working, so I needed a replacement. This unit pleasantly surprised me with how well-constructed and durable it is. There is a good main cord, fifteen feet in length, with heavy duty plug. The main charger plug-in is also serious, with a push button release. There is also a unit close to the house circuit plug in, that gives a series of status lights, one for power to the charging unit, one for the charging function, one for ac output and one is a default warning light. The package comes with a heavy duty fabric carrying case that makes this easy to take along in the vehicle. I am very happy with this unit.

UPDATE: After just a few months has started dying after charging the car for a very short time. Very frustrating but it seems that this has happened to others much sooner.My EV came with a 240v charging unit and an adapter to convert it to a 110v one, only trouble was it couldn't fit the outside wall outlet in the carport I park in. This dedicated 110v charger alleviates that problem and comes with hanger for cable and a wall plug to keep the car connector neatly out of the way.A month after buying it went into error state, it was the first hot day of the yearIt seems to throttle charging and then goes into an error state. Had to run to a charging station before driving to work to be able to get enough charge to get there and back and went back to using my car makers 240 volt unit with an adapter for 110v use. Looks like it would have been cheaper to install 30 or 50 amp outlet than buy this unit.

We have had this charger for 1 year and one month. It worked perfectly until today when it stopped charging the car. We can still charge on other chargers so we are confident that it is a malfunction of the charger.

The media could not be loaded. Well it really does take a very long time to charge with this cord. I'd say it's much better for hybrid batteries. But for its convenience and the bag and everything about it I would say that it's worth it as an emergency charger because you really need one of those in your car. I quite like it even if it's really slow so 10 out of 10!
