Agreed 100%. $15* for 240V charging might be a deal to consider, with an adaptor for your existing OEM unit. That adds about 10 miles every hour, for a full charge from DEAD during 8 hours of sleep or work.

* Another few dollars is often required, to adapt to your exact outlet.

Not a deal. That unit only charges 33% faster than the OEM EVSE that comes with the car. If you're going to buy an EVSE then at the very minimum it should be a 24A unit, which is twice as fast.

That's not a lvl 2 charger. That's just a lvl 1 charger plugged into a 220v socket. It's faster than a lvl 1, but still at least half the charging speed of a lvl 2.

Thank you guys! I really like this forum. Helpful!

That's technically not true. Level 1 and level 2 charging is based strictly on voltage. Any EVSE that transmits 208-240 volts is considered to be a level 2 charger regardless of the current it delivers.

Still not worth the effort though. If one is going to purchase a level 2 charger, it must deliver as least 24A of current to be worth anything.

I will take one minute for my small rant. EVSEs are not special. They are essentially a slightly smarter version of an extension cord. So, if one is spending $200 on an extension cord, it had better be pretty special, right?

I would trust one of the EV conversion shops like EVwest as they actually break down alot of wrecked EVs to salvage cells for builds and they typically have pallets of wholesale cells. I have a feeling they could do the SDI cell swap.
