Title: 7 Weeks In, Charger Still Works Great
Review: The app and charger have worked great, but I do want to mention a few things.First, when I was mounting the EVIPOWER on the wall, the natural direction of the plug (the prongs) was away from the wall. The cable is very thick and stiff. I had to twist it half of a turn (180 degrees) in order to plug it into my 240V outlet. Fortunately it was long enough (37 inches) to allow me to twist it half a turn. But it would have been easy enough for the manufacturer to connect the wires inside the charger in such a way that the prongs of the plug are naturally pointing towards the wall so that it may be plugged in more easily. It's better not to twist electrical cables, but I had no choice.Second, during the configuration stage, when I went to add a device, the app was not finding the EVIPOWER charger. Eventually I acted AS IF the app HAD found the charger and I touched the screen where I would have expected the button to appear. It worked! It seems to me that the app did find the charger, but the visual contrast between the button and the background was not sufficient to enable me to see it on the app. My phone display was turned mostly toward the "bright" side of the meter and I am not vision impaired. I let the company know that when the app finds the charger, a clear button should appear so that the user can easily see it and tap it to add the device. I left the configuration set to "Plug and Charge" and did not set up any schedules.Last, after I configured the charger, I plugged it into my BMW i3 and it started charging right away. It was a very hot day and the car was parked outside so I decided to stop charging after about 1 hour (the BMW battery meter went from 45 miles to 73 miles in that hour). To do this, I opened the app and pressed "stop." The charging indeed stopped. I removed the cable/plug from the BMW and returned it to the holster. The following morning, when the temperature was cooler (in the upper 60s), I resumed charging. But the charger didn't work. The unit still had a solid blue line, but this time it slowly blinked a green Q to indicate that it was trying to communicate with the car. I don't know why it wasn't working. The app showed a button to "start" charging and the button was green (not grayed out), but pressing it did nothing. (Later, I read in the manual that it should not be necessary to press that button anyway when the configuration is set to "Plug and Charge"). I unplugged the charger from the outlet, waited three seconds, and plugged it back in. I figured that resetting it might fix the problem. It would have, but I later learned that I didn’t unplug it for long enough. Finally, I left the EVIPOWER alone and took no further action other than to remove the plug from the car and return it to the holster.Later that day, my son drove the car and when he returned he started charging it with the slow charger that the BMW i3 came with, rather than with the EVIPOWER. After about 30 minutes, I stopped charging it (it was a very hot day and also I didn't want to fully charge the battery -- I wanted to give the EVIPOWER another chance). Later that night, I drove the car ten feet to the other side of my driveway and launched the app. The "Start" button was grayed out this time. I reconnected the EVIPOWER to the BMW. It started charging right away. I was glad to see it working but I don't know what I did to fix it. It has worked perfectly ever since, probably because I have not pressed “stop” on the app. Instead I just remove the charger from my car.I should note that when I had the problem, I did reach out to EVIQO’s support team and “Anna” responded the next day, but by then the charger was already working. Her suggestion was to unplug the charger for ten seconds and then plug it back in to reset it.I was also happy that I received a personal email from Yuriy Dobosh, the co-founder of EVIQO EV chargers asking about my experience and I provided it; he subsequently thanked me.

Title: A superior Level 2 EV charger
Review: I own a Chevrolet Bolt 2019 model. When I bought this car, initially, I used the standard Level 1 charger that was supplied with the car. Since the performance of this charger was unsatisfactory, in October 2019, I bought a JuiceBox 40 Smart EV charging station (Level 2) with Wi-Fi. It turned out to be anything but "smart" but that would be a different story/review.On January 3, 2024, when I walked out into the garage, JuiceBox welcomed me with beeping noises. After a little bit of diagnostics myself, I called ENEL (manufacturer) customer service. Here, I would like to state that ENEL customer service is among the best. The customer service representative had me repeat a few of the diagnostic steps and declared the unit dead. The device used a mechanical relay which had a known issue. Since I was among their earliest customers and the unit had a known issue, I was offered a replacement newer model at $100 discount. Don't ask me why I was never informed of the "known" issue and a replacement sent to me when the "issue" was discovered! In any case, it was a complicated process (digging up old receipts, ENEL back-end system failures, etc.) but a replacement was ordered the same day (01/03/2024). Given my situation, I was promised a priority overnight shipment. Lo and behold, it is 01/09/2024, there is still no sign of a replacement. Every time I called, I was told the replacement was ready for shipment and waiting for the "carrier" to pick it up! Great customer service can go only so far if the rest of the company functions are not supportive enough. I knew it was time to look for an alternative and canceled my JuiceBox upgrade order.I am a retired computer scientist and engineer, and it is my nature to research everything about my choices before deciding to buy a specific product. Accordingly, I made a list of top Level 2 EV chargers and started reading installation instructions, user guides, expert reviews, and user reviews. After all the hard work, my choice was narrowed down to: Tesla or EVIQO. Given my recent decision to boycott all Musk owned businesses, the final decision was easy. However, what sealed the deal was when I called EVIQO customer service with a question on a Sunday and, guess who answered the call, a co-founder of the company! My question was satisfactorily answered, and I ordered my charger.The unit was received promptly, and I installed it without a hassle. It has been in operation for more than 6 weeks now and is working to my satisfaction charging the Bolt after midnight when the rates are the cheapest. In fact, the installation and setup were a breeze compared to JuiceBox. Please note that I ordered a pluggable unit, and I already had the requisite 240V (NEMA 14-50) outlet in the garage. Based on my experience, all parts are high quality and, in some cases, better than the competitors. In my humble opinion, EVIQO charger is a superior product and I wholeheartedly recommend it.I did run into one non-technical issue - I am a member of the SmartCharge New York (SCNY) program which offers rebates for responsible use of EV charging. While JuiceBox was a SCNY-certified charger, unfortunately, EVIQO is not. I have requested SCNY to certify the EVIQO device but don't know how long the process is. It is my fault that I did not investigate this beforehand and stand to lose about $500 every year if the program continues and the EVIQO device remains unsupported.Given my background, I do have a few suggestions for improvements, however, I am not an electrical engineer and don't know how feasible some of the suggestions are. I compared the installation of EVIQO to installing and setting up the Starlink service. My experience with Starlink was the absolute best even though I had to cancel the service because of distaste for Mr. Musk's line of thinking. My Starlink unit was shipped with everything a homeowner may need for the installation, even a small piece of well-designed plastic stick to snake a wire through a 6-9" thick wall. Here are some of the salient corrections and/or suggested enhancements:1, Page 10 mentions needing a level and a stud finder, however, I did not see any mention of these two tools again in the installation instructions.2. I am a tool nut and already own a stud finder. However, I was unable to find a suitable "studded" location for the installation. The supplied M6 Hexagonal Expansion screws are not suitable for drywall installation. I bought and used heavy-duty anchors (and compatible screws) from the local hardware store. I wish such anchors were included with the product.3. Page 15 mentions 0.31" (8 mm) drill bit, which would be 5/16" for us retarded Americans.4. I wish there were a way to separate and, independently, configure input and output power cable to/from the charger. Please look at the picture, I was forced to cross the input and output cables because of the location of the outlet which made part of the installation process a little difficult.5. For better or worse, most garages are storage space for junk and mine is no different. While the charger unit is inside, the car is outside the garage. This makes routing the output cable under the garage door a challenge! If I had my wish, I would have drilled a nice clean hole through the garage wall, mounted an additional holster outside, routed the output cable through the hole, and plugged it into the charger. Imagine if the charger had twist-lock receptacles for input and output cable ports (top and bottom instead of the current both at the bottom)! This would help with cable crossing issues and help with keeping the two cables independently routable.6. There is no good reason to justify the annoyingly blinking green LED indicating waiting to start. Since I use scheduled charging, this is the most common situation in my case. I would recommend dim green for "Ready to start" and brighter green for "Waiting to start".As far as the mobile application to control the EVIQO, it is better than the most. It has been my life experience; software is always an afterthought for hardware manufacturers. However, that is not the case EVIQO, although I did have some usability challenges because the application is designed to be compatible with Android and iOS (the one I am used to). It will be helpful to simplify the functionality related to inputting utility rate structure and usage of this information with scheduled charging times.

Title:
Review: Exactly as advertised, very easy to install. 40 amp out of the box, simple internal dial setting for the 48 amp upgrade when you are ready to hardwire and delivers just under 48 amps steady. Scheduling from the charger is a perfect workaround to Chevrolet's confusion, allowing me to have the vehicle charged and ready as soon as possible at the lowest time of use rate. I like the precise kWh tracking and history, leaving no doubts about calculating the actual costs. Only complaint would be a software bug calculating the cost leaving me with an extra manual step - still a 5 star for the value.
