40 Amp Level 2 EV Charger - Fast Charging with SHELL Electric Vehicle Charger

Larry West: I bought this in June 2022 for a Hyundai Ioniq 5, and it has worked perfectly. I use it in a NEMA 14-50 (240V) outlet, but have used the 120V house-hold plug a few times.

It's convenient that it fits (snugly) in the frunk, also.

But the main reason for writing this now is to tell prospective buyers that, although this Shell-branded version has been discontinued, apparently the identical unit is available under the "EG evgoer" brand: https://www.amazon.com/EG-evgoer-110V-240V-Adjustable-Compatible/dp/B0C3LLB5DF

Andrew Caldwell: The features of this charger are appealing, but the build quality is subpar and the charger only works less than 50% of the time. I have to connect/disconnect multiple times just to get the charger to start delivering electricity. Also, it's suppose to deliver 32A max, but tops out at 29A even when plugged into a 40A circuit.

cowboyjosh2010: I bought this for use with a 2022 Kia EV6 Wind RWD, which is capable of up to 11kW of Level 2 (240V AC) charging speeds.

This EVSE fits a great use case:

-somebody who doesn't care about smart-phone based "smart" EVSEs (this unit is adjustable, but it isn't "smart")
-somebody who wants Level 2 charging at home
-somebody who also might want to *occasionally* take that EVSE with them on road trips to ensure they have a Level 1 charging option at their destination.

If those three bullet points sound like you, this is the product for you.

I say "occasionally" take it with you because there is credible concern that frequent plugging/unplugging of a NEMA 14-50 outlet will weaken the outlet and cause it to get loose. But unplugging it maybe just one or two times a month? Yeah that'll probably be no problem at all.

I also say "occasionally" because it is cumbersome to coil the entire EVSE back up into the case that comes with this product. That's not because the case is bad, but rather because the EVSE itself is both pretty heavy and also kind of stiff. If you've never used cables this thick before, you'll be surprised at how...

Eric C.Eric C.: Bought to pair with a Kia EV6 I just got. Overall seems like a really well built unit. Have only used it a few times so far though. I didn't want a permanently installed unit at my house as I have access to free charging at work via an external outlet. Will mostly be charging there, but this gives me the flexibility to charge at home/on the road too. Readout is intuitive and fairly easy to see. Was hard to tell from the description but I mined through the comments to see that you can manually set the amperage draw (cycles through 12,16,24,32,40A settings with the push of a button before connecting to the car). Can also delay charging if you have off peak rates you're trying to target where you charge.
Being so stout it is bulky and doesn't roll up the easiest. The case is nice and secures the unit well, but you need to be precise to get it back in there (think putting a tent back into the bag it came in). Using it almost daily, I'll more than likely just loosely roll it up and toss it in the back.

Guy Smith: I ordered this charger for my 2017 Chevy Bolt EV due to the need for outdoor charging. The IP66 rating is everything I needed to charge in Michigan Weather. It is rated for -22F to 120F. My first unit kept displaying an error code for Vout leak and would stop charging so I contacted support and we tried a few more things and it was determined something was wrong with this unit. Support shipped me a new unit directly from Hong Kong and it arrived very quick as in impressively quick!!! They went above and beyond. Their support is the best I have ever received on any product!!! The new unit works flawlessly and is very sturdy. The unit has multiple amperage choices and the ability to delay charge start. The LED display is great for information and charges my Bolt at it's max capacity of 32Amps at 240v. I bought the 40 Amp version to future proof for the next EV. Awesome product from a trusted name!!!! I highly recommend this charger to anyone who needs an outdoor charge solution as most of us don't want the Chevy Bolt in our garages as of late!!
