Title: Great unit. Good price
Review: The unit has given me zero problems. It was installed by the company who is Partnered with GM and took no time at all to install.The units is sturdy in all weather, delivers ample charging and having the built in cable management is great.I never use the app for the charger specifically because my Cadillac lyric has a dedicated app and does more than what this app can do for me. However when I was using the app was simple and easy to use.It was required to have a relay installed to ensure the unit did t go overboard on the amp-age which does cause the unit to stop charging periodically, but Autel pick right back up and has zero issues.Solid unit great price.

Title: Excellent product and service!
Review: I have purchased 3 Autel Chargers for my 2 homes over the last two years. They are excellent! They work great and have many attractive features such as online access, a versatile app, ability to see consumption etc. However, the best thing is that they not only have an amazing and robust product for home and/or commercial use, but they also have a great and responsive Customer Service. Their service is excellent and accessible 24/7 from what I can see. I would highly recommend them.

Title: Updated: A 5 star EV Chager!
Review: 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.

Title: Get the hardwired version!
Review: Got the hardwired version to not have to deal with installing 3 or 4 prong 240 volt outlet in my garage. It was better to get the hardwired version and have an electrician run the 240 volt conduit to the circuit breaker and install a 50-amp double pull breaker on my panel.The only improvement I could suggest would be to increase the cord length to 30-feet. Otherwise, works very well with the app and bluetooth/wifi. Charging on schedule is very easy to use, and I like that I can choose to start a charge at anytime using the app.The electricians who installed it liked it, but their only complaint was the holster didn't mount flush/tight against the drywall in my garage with a little wiggle to the holster.

Title: Great functionality, and a good value (especially while it's on sale).
Review: 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!

Review: Solamente lo he usado en dos ocasiones y hasta ahorita ha funcionado de maravilla. Según veo solo funciona con corriente 220 y me da la impresión de que no puede instalarse con corriente 110 a diferencia de otros productos con los que he trabajado. La calidad es impecable y tiene muy buenas funciones como internet y Bluetooth.

Review: Have been using this for the past two months and it has worked perfectly. It looks great and the app is useful. I think the app could use some tweaking such as the ability to set multiple rates based on time of day (on-peak, mid-peak, off-peak). The charging period recorded is based on when you plug it in, and not when the charging actually starts. For example, I will plug it in at 4 PM, but have the car programmed to not start charging until 7 PM (start of off-peak). Autel records the start of the charging period as 4 PM. Also, it's not clear how it is determining the mileage. Still think this is a great charger.

Review: Originally bought a smart Grizzl-e. Could not get it to setup on my WIFI. Returned it and bought the Autel Maxicharger. Easy to setup on my network. Works great and it is a bonus that I can see how much it cost me to charge. At 32 amps on a 40 amp circuit it cost me about 98 cents an hour. Cost me $1.27 for a 65 km trip where I was using heat.
