EVIQO Level 2 EV Charger - 48 Amp EV Charger Level 2-240V Electric Vehicle Charging Stations - Smart Wall EV Chargers for Home Level 2 - NEMA 14-50/Hardwired - 11.5kW EVSE J1772, Energy Star/UL

A Fantastic piece of ingenuity! I recently purchased a Hybrid that had a port to help keep the battery charged and am able to get an extra 50 gas less miles before its time to pay the piper. The vehicle came with a 120volt plug in but discovered that when the battery was just 1/2 used, the 120volt plug in would take 6-8 hours to charged it back up. thats when I decided to try something different. How to begin the search? Well at my job as a pilot our company provides free plug in for any electric vehicle from Tesla’s to motorcycles and the surprising thing to me was that the plug-In fit all the vehicles. When I use this from my company the charging of a fully depleted battery took only 2-3hrs!. Thats when I began looking for a charger to set up at home, 3 1/2hrs from my office. Eviqo caught my eye first, a very sharp looking unit with a 25ft cord and according to the information, easy install, Right!!!!! After combing over the various types and models of electrical charges I settled on the EVIQO as the cost, power and looks are what made that choice easy in the end. The unit arrive very quickly as advertised and the EASE OF INSTALLATION began. (Isn’t that what they all say right?) The instructions were a little confusing at first because I wanted to connect it to a recently installed 240V (like an outlet for a cloths dryer) that I installed outside by the garage door. There are a couple different types and thought I had installed the wrong one, but the instructions steered me straight. Before mounting instructions have you open the unit up and dial in the power-out that you want 20-30-40-50 AMPS!!!! Once again I thinking “hear we go!” But after reading the instructors a few times and pondering the situation it all made sense. My breakers are 50 AMPS so 40AMPS is what the instructions advised. A piece of cake by following the instructions. Mounting was very easy if instructions are followed. Being outside yet pervious to the weather I decided to enclose the unit unit a cover to help it survive the weather here in land of unpredictable weather, even though it says it is protected from that but I wasn’t going to take any chances. After completion of this 3-4 hour journey the time came. First thing was to download the EVIQO app and set it up which was actually very easy. Lots of good information on it. Powered the 50Amp CB on and the EVIQO started to light up, very cool! Then it was plug in time to the vehicle and it worked perfectly. The app showing the charge and how much electricity is being sent along with the cost which depends on what you pay per KWH. This unit charged up my vehicles battery faster than the unit back at the office. Very impressive. An extremely solid and well built unit that looks good, feels good and works better than advertised. So if you are in the marker for the best charger no matter what you’re charging EVIQO is the way to go. It comes in a very very strong double thickness box and no way could this be damaged by the shippers, very safe travel all the way. A great company to do business with. Here’s a picture of the unit attached to the outside wall, unfortunately the only one I have.

Very nice charger, so nice that I bought two so I could install one at my daughter's house where they don't own an EV but I can plug in when I visit after driving 265 miles to get there.The app is fine and it's easy to setup multiple chargers.To get the 48 amps promised the unit must be hard-wired. I learned this after installing a 14-50 plug, so I got rid of the plug and hard-wired it. The charger comes with the ring terminals needed to crimp onto the 6 gauge wire, and a ring terminal for the smaller ground wire. If I read the manual prior to installing the plug I would have realized that the charger does not use the common wire (for those who aren't electrically knowledgeable, the common wire is the white wire - get an electrician!). So I had bought a more expensive and harder to work with 6/3 wire when a 6/2 would all that's needed.It is a bit fiddly to install the charger hard-wired, you have to support the box while screwing it together from the rear, then put it on the wall mount, but a coordinated person can figure it out.At my daughter's place I put the wire in conduit, only had to go about 6 feet from the electrical panel. Get 1/2" PVC conduit, this will fit perfectly into the strain relief used for the wire to the outlet, so remove that wire and insert the conduit, then screw it back together to get a sealed entry. Run the single wires in (don't use a sheather wire since it's inside conduit) and be sure to put the clamp back on above the wire entry point. Use a properly sized wire crimper (you need a larger crimper). For an expert DIYer, or a pro, it's a snap.You get a cable hook but the charger itself is setup to allow wrapping the cable around it, so if space is tight just mount the charger where there is room around it for the cable and drape the plug.This charger reliably gives me 47 amps. My BIL has a different charger and complained it only got 30 amps, he suspected I didn't install it right. So I investigated (i installed the 14-50 plug, he and my sister installed the charger) and found the charger was set for 40 amps. So I changed the dip switches to 48 amps and he's now getting 40 amps, so the problem is in the charger. Both of items I bought for use at my house and my daughter's house deliver at least 47 amps.
