Title: EVIQO Level 2 Charger: Unbelievable value and quality at an extremely affordable price.
Review: ContextThis is the third charger Iâve installed dating back to 2012 and the second that I personally when did the electrical work as well as the actual charger install (get a professional electrician if you are not qualified to do this work). I went with a 50 AMP GFCI breaker as is called for in local code (Va) and a NEMA 14-50R receptacle, all of which were available on Amazon. Iâm charging a 2022 Rav4 Prime XSE which has the onboard advanced charging capability. Iâve had the unit in place and running for just over a month now. I charge overnight and during the day in between trips. The unit is installed in a storage closet off a carport and is connected to the wireless router in the main house.Buying DecisionAfter doing a lot of research, and reading up on current charging technologies I had a list of what was out there and what I wanted. The EVIQ had ALL of them, hardwire vs. plug-in, wireless connectivity, intelligent charging via Smart App (more on that below), 2-yr warranty, UL/Energy star/FCC and IP66. Add to that the extended cable, which is a huge plus for those who may need it and most of all COMPATIBILITY. My wife is planning to buy a Tesla in the next few months and I had to be sure the new unit would work with that as well. The EVIQO is the right solution for now and for the future. The price point fort the EVIQOInstall & Out of Box ExperienceRight of the bat I was impressed with the quality of the packaging. Solid double walled box which arrived in perfect shape and could clearly have handled the rough handling Iâve seen with other deliveries. The charger came with clear documentation, all the hardware you would need to install in either an indoor or outdoor environment and a connector bracket that acts as a saddle for the cable. I'm not using it in this install but will for my next.The install was as easy as it gets with an included template for both the charger itself and the bracket. In my case it is mounted indoors on a solid piece of plywood but the bolts included came with gear to mount on drywall or brick/concrete. The unit is surprisingly light which made handling easy but donât get me wrong. This thing is SOLID. The cable is a little stiff but thatâs to be expected given the juice your pushing over it and canât be avoided. The cover for the connector is very sturdy which was refreshing. My previous charger didnât even come with a cover.Charging and App ExperienceIâve been charging for just over a month now and I am beyond impressed. Even without the full 46 AMP capability that a hardwire installation would have provided the performance is just amazing. Iâm able to go from 0% to 100% charge (Approx 13.5 kWh) in about 3 Hrs., average charge between errands and such tops the battery back off with about 6.58 kWh in about 1.5 hours. This means Iâm able to use my plug-in hybrid like a pure EV for the vast majority of my driving. When my wife adds her Tesla to the mix weâre still going to be able to charge both cars overnight with no worries.The app is SO much better then what I was using with my previous charger. Reporting features are good and you can set multiple schedules, assigning charging costs so your notifications include how much it cost you to charge each time. Call me petty but I like to rub that in my friends face when gas prices are spiking ð. Add to this the fact that you can manually adjust the AMPS used while charging to allow for a slower charge rate when time is not a factor. You can also view the hardware and firmware versions in place, get a report when there is a firmware update and review the log for all activities from installation. And Yes, there have been at least two firmware updates since I installed the unit and that shows that the manufacturer is constantly making improvements and stands behind their product. In todayâs world that is priceless!Summary: Already planning to buy another!The EVIQO is by far the best value on the market from my research and experience. It offers premium features, high quality construction, advanced app functionality and a 2 yr. warranty that all adds up to an exceptional value and outstanding performance. As I noted earlier my wife is planning to buy a Tesla and itâs inevitable that weâll both want to charge at the same time so I already know Iâm going to be in the market for another charger. I can skip the research phase and move right onto buying another EVIQO with complete confidence that weâre going to get the best value, top of the line performance and solid customer support. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the EVIQO to anyone whoâs looking for a new car charger, be it your first or your latest. You canât go wrong with this unit and your car will thank you.

Title: Excellent product that lives up to its rating
Review: Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and have no hesitation in recommending this product.Product:The charger looks good and I like the quality of the materials used. The pricing is fair. The longer-than-average input and output cables are appreciated.Installation:I found the charger easy to install in my garage (used an existing 14-50 50a outlet), and appreciate the supplied installation hardware and templates.App:Connecting to my network was smooth - I didn't encounter any issues and the connection process status was communicated well. I'm happy with the functionality and reports provided. This is my first EV and charger, so I may discover additional features I'd like to see as I gain more experience with both.

Title: I works and looks cool - what is not to love?
Review: 9/24/2024 Initial ReviewThe best part: 25' charging cable! I installed mine in my garage and can charge the car there or in the driveway. Many of these chargers come with much shorter cables - this is better.InstallationVery easy. I went with the hard wire and as shown in the pictures I made my own whip per the instructions. Things to mention *not applicable for plug in version.3/4" Trade size liquid tight conduit meets NEC code and fits the connector on the charger perfectly.The ring terminals specified (#8/M4) are not common (for 6AWG THHN) but I found them on DigiKey made by Molex and UL certified. You will need the proper crimper if you go this route which are available here.*applicable for all modelsThe templates included were accurate and useful. The included fasteners were of excellent quality and the holster is very well designed and accommodates the whole cable as shown in the pictures.As far as charging -Consistently delivers 47-48 Amps. The app is intuitive, includes a dark mode, and gives an accurate cost estimate if you put your rates in. the only feature I wish it had at present is a soft reset.The device is secured to the wall using security torx bits and comes with an allen style key that works. I had the right bit on hand which saved a lot of frustration. They also included an extra one which was a nice touch.All in all I think this is a great Level 2 charger with an energy star rating (I am a DTE customer and the energy star was the requirement for the rebate)

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.
