Customer Reviews:
- "Very good product. Fast delivery, solid and efficient product. I was able to charge my Renault Zoe from 42% to 100% in 4 hours and 45 minutes at 16 amps on a 16 amp socket. The manufacturer also sent me a user manual in French with operating instructions. Excellent value for money."
- "Works great, no issues. The only downside is that the charging time is quite long. I recommend it until you have your own charging station installed."
- "Used on a Green Up socket with 3.2kWh charging. Does not heat up, and I hope the internal electronics are as good as the external appearance of the product. The plastic fastening with the notch on the back of the charger that allows it to be hung on the wall is too light and often comes loose. I don't use the option to change the charging level as I do it from my MG4 application."
- "Excellent product! Very convenient for charging on any standard 8, 10, 13, or 16A socket, provided that the installation meets the standards (make sure to check!). I always keep it in my trunk just in case. Also great for charging at 'kind' friends' or family's places. For safety reasons, I don't charge at night without supervision. Personally, it's perfect for my MG4, excellent finish, nice control screen, and it comes with a cool and classy bag with a yellow trim. And to top it off, it's very reasonably priced! A big thank you to Amazon Prime's delivery teams who are always on top of things and so fast with their deliveries, even with their busy schedules. In short, I highly recommend this product!"
- "Ideal for our old house with variable power; works well for us."
- "The cable is much shorter than advertised. The cable is exactly 6.5 meters between the charger and the Type 2 plug instead of the ordered 8 meters. Even adding the 50cm of cable between the charger and the 220V plug (which cannot be taken into account since the charger is fixed to the wall) does not reach 7m. It does not match the description and does not suit my needs. I assume this is an 'exceptional' issue since everyone else mentions a 7.5m cable, so I will reorder the same one hoping it's okay."
- "I ordered this charger for my plug-in hybrid vehicle, and the ability to choose the charging current adds value to this equipment. It works great, and I highly recommend this charger."
- "Perfect charger for recharging your electric vehicle. You can adjust the amperage to fit a standard or reinforced socket. The temperature display is handy for reassurance during the first charges. Very good value for money. I recommend it."
- "Why manufacturer chargers (e.g., BMW) have to be so expensive is beyond me; it's modern robbery. This supplier still offers the product at a somewhat reasonable price. Also, a Black Friday discount made it a realistic alternative. So far, I have only used it in the lowest setting of 6A, and it works and charges my BMW perfectly. The cable (8 meters) is also great. The quality seems good; I have no idea how much leakage current occurs during charging. I am satisfied!"
- "My experience with the 3.6KW EV charger has been exceptional from day one. This product has proven to be a valuable addition to my daily routine, providing efficient and convenient charging solution for my electric vehicle. The adjustable 6-16A capacity offers flexibility, allowing me to adapt the charging speed according to my specific needs. The 8-meter charging cable provides sufficient reach to comfortably park my vehicle while charging without any inconvenient restrictions. The quality of materials inspires confidence in terms of durability and resilience. The Type 2 connection ensures broad compatibility with a variety of electric vehicles. Furthermore, the user-friendly operation and intuitive interface make charging a hassle-free process. The compact design and portability of the charger are aspects that I truly appreciate, as I can carry it with me whenever needed. Overall, this charger has exceeded my expectations and made charging my Dacia Spring an easy and efficient experience."
