  1. Hi, new to this forum, purchased 2020 Kona Ultimate in Gray on 12/31/20 to lock in tax credit, and am looking for a Level 2 Charger parametric table (sortable, filterable) that has columns for each of the key parameters and features, such as this:

    Model & Manufacturer, Description | Cost | Charge Rate (Amps) | Selectable Charge Rate(s)? | Cable length | Timer | Fixed | Portable | Wifi | Internal GFCI | other features, etc.

    MUSTART Level 2 Portable EV Charger | $349 | 40 Amp | No | 25ft | No | No | Yes, NEMA 14-50P | No

    Has anyone seen such a website that contains this kind of feature comparison? I'm not looking for those websites advertising "Top 10 L2 Chargers" and hopefully not overthinking this.

    I might make my own table in excel, which can be attached to this post using the buttons below the posting input page.

    Thanks,

  3. I'm not aware of such a table. You might be interested in Tom Moloughneys YouTube channel. He's testing Lvl2 chargers there.

    I too have watched Tom Moloughneys channel. Your price you are seeking is a little optimistic for what you are looking for. They do exist out there but not with all the features. The Kona can only accept 32 amps. Even though I bought a 40 amp, it still only takes 32amps. I'm not aware of a table like your are seeking. If you were to contact him, he may have all his reviews tables as you seek. This is what I have.

    One “feature” that I considered strongly when purchasing my EVSE was that it be UL listed.

    I reasoned that if I’m running 30-40 amps through a device, in my garage and into my car, unattended and sometimes in wet conditions, it should at least have this safety designation.

    Based on my reading it seemed that UL may be a higher standard than ETL and CSA. I don’t know if this is true but that’s what I went with.

    Anyway, the only company I found that does this is Clipper Creek, so that made my choice easy. I don’t mind paying a little more for that piece on mind.

    Note that some EVSEs advertise testing certification for the *plug* or the *cable*, but not the electronics, which are equally or more important.
