Awesome charger.
This is perfect for my in-trunk secondary charger. They had different charging capabilities, I went with 16a because I already have a 50a charger installed at home. I’ve use this one when I need a charge at work or if I’m in a pinch. Usually I can only find a regular 110 outlet. If I’m lucky a 220. So this has both plugs for that. I’m also using it on a Tesla so u need an adapter (not included) but this locks right into my adapter and charges great! I especially like how you can set the Amp draw, so u can charge at lower rates to be kinder on the battery. Another good feature is u can set to charge to when the price of electricity is lower. For me… it’s almost .70 vs .25 on off-peak times, so i surely will be waiting for the most economical times. The cable is very durable and quite long. It’s able to reach past another car if one is where I normally park. And the User Interface is really simple to read. Green light = charging. Orange = standby. Shows the volt and amps, draw rate, banked/accumulated charge, and time elapsed. And it comes with a carrying case that is easy to take anywhere and toss in the frunk/trunk without taking up too much space.

Great easy to use charger
This charger has several charging rates that are user adjustable. They all work as advertised. This was very easy to use, open the box, plug it in, set the rate and charge away. It has a nice display showing the charge rate, this is a really nice charger.

VIVOHOME level 2 charger works well and does its job of high speed charging
I got this EV charger to charge our new KONA electric EV. We have 240v dryer outlet next to the garage and I wanted to take the power to the garage wall.I was able to finish the project and I now have a level 2 (high speed) charger in my garage. I spent around $227 for the materials, a few hours of my time, and some elbow grease. Other parts I ordered are:U clamps: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0998WWX1GEscutcheon Plate: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFGKGN2XNEMA 14-30P to 14-50R EV Charger Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P3JG942EV Charger: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB7FMW8SDryer Extension Cord: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X1YFDVF

Overheats buyer BEWARE!
I like the product but the fact that it's 75-80*F (23-28C) outside and at 40 amps this thing overheats (50 *C +). Unfortunately, I bought this and the receptacle was just now installed in my garage and I'm outside the returning window. It appears that using this level 2 charge below 40amps (so 12-32 amps) heats within normal operating temp but at 40amps it overheats and it becomes a fire risk.

Nice quality charger
This has worked well with my Chevy Bolt. The display is clean and it's pretty easy to use although I haven't used the delay. The quality seems good. The cable is beefy with a nice protective cover for the car plug. The charger housing feels substantial. Two things I would have liked: one, instead of a straight wall plug a 90 degree plug and two some way to mount the body to a wall. If you are constantly moving it in and out of the car or to different outlets though, it doesn't matter and has a nice little carrying bag for that purpose.

Nice Charger, so far.
I've used it at the 10, 16, and 32 amp settings. All good. At10 amps, my '20 Leaf SL Plus puts 2 kilowatts into the battery of the 2.3 reported used by this charger. (Inefficiencies and physics eats up the other 300 watts in heat somewhere in the car's systems).

Charged my PHEV Three Times So Far. Easy to Use
I have this for my Sorento PHEV. Three times so far I have done an overnight charge. This device is easy to use. I mounted it onto a metal post that is a part of a hose storage rack that I got at WalMart. The top of it covers the charger. I mounted it using electrical tape at the top and bottom of where the cord goes into/out of the charger. I added an outdoor on/off switch from Amazon. So, when I want to charge my car in the driveway, I just unravel the cord from the holder, hit the switch to "On", then plug it in. In the morning, I wrap up the cord, and turn off the power to the charger using the switch. Pretty simple solution to my needs.

reasonable price for adjustable power.
I like the current (amps) adjustment feature as I use adapters to charge from various ciruits when on the road. Enables me to almost always have a place to charge without tripping breakers.

Excellent
Plug and play. I plugged it in, pushed the button to choose 13 amps because I read someone else’s review. I only use 110, but it is somewhat faster than the one that came with my Mitsubishi PHEV. The sturdy cable makes me confident, but it is a little harder to store.

Works but does not add 22 miles per hour
Works great. 3kW at 16 amps. But battery charge is closer to 10 miles per hour at level 2.
