This Level 1 portable EV charger by Lectron, is a respectable way to get a slower EV charger that’s not going to break the bank. With so many choices in the expanding world of EV chargers, this is good for some needs and not so much for others. Here are some of the things I’ve learned while owning it and things to consider before buying.

I. Quality – The quality on this one is good for the cost and especially for a Level 1 charger, but not even close to a top of the line charger. I’d put it in the upper-middle range of the quality scale, for EV chargers and guess it should hold up like other Lectron’s I’ve have.

II. Usability – It’s very easy to use, being a plug and play type option. It uses a 5-15 plug that is your typical house outlet and has a max capability of 12A, which is the most you should charge on a 15A breaker anyways. The main unit look basic, with only lights to communicate with. I have others that offer some good data like volts, amps, timer and kwh that you can see through a screen. However, this one has a useful app that will give you all of that type of data as well as other controls over the unit. It’s very easy to choose amperage and a timer to help control your cars need for juice. The included bag is very one of the nicer ones offered, in case you want to bring it along. Keep in mind that a 12 Amp charger is going to charge painfully slow, but it gets the job done, while saving you money on purchase price. 

Overall, this is a very functional, budget friendly option for the 120V category. With there being so many choices in the emerging EV charger world, it really comes down to individual needs and desires. If you’re willing to spend the extra money, there are higher amperage options that offer 32-50A charging capabilities (if your car can handle it), that’ll charge your car significantly faster, but do require larger breakers and sockets. I’ll be sure to update this review, if I ever start to have problems with it.

If you’d find it helpful to see an up-close visual inspection of this product, I recommend you watch my included video in full screen or landscape. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, well it’s a video!

You can trust that this review is simply my honest opinion that is attempting to provide you with helpful insight that I wish I had before I picked this product. Hopefully it was helpful in your decision.
