Autel MaxiCharger Home Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger, up to 40 Amp, 240V, Level 2 WiFi and Bluetooth Enabled EVSE, NEMA 14-50 Plug, Indoor/Outdoor, 25-Foot Cable with Separate Holster, Dark Gray

Having recently purchased a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV, it became clear a better charger than the included one was needed. Chevrolet did offer to install a dedicated circuit to charge the car, but since the house is rented, that is not a great option. I discovered a smart splitter, the Neocharge, that would let me utilize the 240 outlet powering my dryer. It lets you plug in the car on one side, and the dryer on the other. Built-in safety features keep you from using both at once. It was rated for 24 amps, the maximum safe load for continuous draw on a 30 amp circuit. I thought it would step down the car's demand, but I was wrong. The car still tried to pull 32 amps, continuously tripping the Neocharge. Chevy, in their infinite wisdom, decided not to include amperage settings on level 2 charging, even though they did for level one.I began to scour the internet looking for the best value for the money. After several articles pointed toward Amazon, I begin looking around. There were a lot of sketchy options, and a lot of good options that were super expensive. It came down to this and the Grizzl-E. Ultimately I chose the Autel, as it had more functionality and a better price (on sale). I definitely have no regrets! It was simple to install, has an excellent build quality and very thick, high quality cables. Being able to adjust it both on the main board (so someone doesn't turn it back up on accident) and in the app is pretty cool. The app leaves a little to be desired, as my car is not listed. It does what it needs to do though. Most of the functionality a person would need or want is here. Amperage adjustment, cost analysis, scheduled charging for time of use and remote stop and start are all included. The cord storage is more than adequate, with plenty of room depending on how tightly you coil when winding it up. Inserting the charging handle into the holder is a breeze, and it lets the pressure off the handle by moving to the downward position after you snap it in. If you need an EV charger with adjustable amperage, can't go wrong here!

Seems well made. Easy install and app setup. Nice long cord with a heavy duty connector. One week of use after arrival and no complaints. The power selector sets the max current, you can then adjust the charging power in the app. You can even remove the power cable and hard wire it.update #2 (5/29/2024): Filed a help ticket at the contact us location in the Autel website and got an immediate response which resolved my issue. There is a selection in the app where you link the charger to your account that also limits the charge - which I missed. The charger is working exactly as advertised and no problem charging at 40A.Update #1: I was only planning to charge at 24-28A - So when I went to increase the power to check everything, the app will only let me go up to 32A even though I have the dial on the unit set for 40A and then I tried the next higher setting with no change. 6 days ago, I initiated a tech support ticket in which I received an auto reply and then a questionnaire from Amazon asking if tech support resolved the issue. No other responses. I tried doing a factory reset. Lesson learned - the unit I received will only charge at 32A even though manual indicates 40+ and either tech support is really slow or they don't care.

I recently purchased a charger and couldn't be happier with my decision. From the moment I received it, the charger worked perfectly, meeting all my expectations. However, like any electronic device, it eventually encountered an issue. This is where my experience with the charger truly stood out.The technical support is simply exceptional. From the first contact, the staff was incredibly kind and professional. They quickly understood my situation and were committed to resolving the issue as efficiently as possible. The friendliness and customer care were unparalleled, making the entire process much more manageable.The warranty is another area where they excel. Without complications or long waits, they arranged to send me a new charger. What impressed me the most was the speed of the process: within just two days, I had the new charger in my hands! This level of efficiency and customer commitment is rare and deserves to be highlighted.In summary, this charger is not only an excellent product due to its functionality and performance but is also backed by a brand that truly cares about its customers. I highly recommend this charger not only for its quality but also for the peace of mind that comes with knowing that, in the event of any issue, you will receive top-notch technical support and customer service.Thank you for a product and service of such high quality!

First off I purchased this charger during the last prime day deal and it was not only on sale it also had a $100 off coupon as well. So I paid $300. But with that said it’s worth its normal selling price too. This is plugged into a 220v receptacle that uses 6 awg wire. Nothing on this unit gets hot. It runs cool and efficient. The app works great for me. The notifications work perfectly. I watched a video and one reviewer stated the cable was stiff and not very flexible. Maybe they changed vendors but that is not the case at all with mine. The cable is extremely sturdy and flexible. It does not feel cheap or skimpy. The temperatures in Chicago has dropped significantly and the cable is still very flexible. I like the warranty that comes with it hopefully I’ll never have to use it. There is a physical selector inside to change the amperage based on your vehicle charging input capacity. I set mine to 32a and have a 40a breaker per the manual. If you set the charger to its full 40a charging capability you would use a 50a breaker per the manual. The schedule works fine in the app. I use the vehicles charging scheduler but that’s just personal preference. The charger has Bluetooth and WiFi, both have not given me any issues.
