![]() Buying a safe/quality product is worth the money when you're talking about the literal life-line for your car. I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake I did. It had no certification or even branding on it. This seemed very sketchy to me, so I checked the fine-print of the back of the EVSE brick. I also noticed that virtually the same product was being sold under multiple brand names. The brand, design, and description had all completely changed. So why would you risk damage when choosing your own charging option?Īfter learning about how the UL certification is not mandatory for sale direct to customers, I went back onto Amazon to look at the product I bought. Every public charger you've ever used has be UL certified - companies are mandated to use only UL certified products. You are taking a risk every time you plug your car in using these non-UL certified EVSEs. The problem is that the product is not safety rated. So I bought one and thought I got a bargain! And the EVSE did work as it should. I looked up some of these companies and they appeared legit - real websites and reviews. ![]() The brands I started with and knew (Chargepoint, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek) all seemed way too expensive next to other EVSEs for sale from brands I'd never heard of (Jekyala, Couplago, BougeRV, Zencar, Duosida, etc.). ![]() Right away I noticed how expensive EVSEs are. So just like anyone else, I did a bit of research and looked on Amazon. When I first bought my EV I knew I needed a L2 EVSE (mine only came with a L1). This whole process has been a learning experience for me, so I wanted to share my story because I would have liked to know what I know now before buying. I posted before with no backstory - my mistake. ![]()
