Lectron NEMA 14-50 Level 2 EV Charger - 240V 32 Amp with 21 ft Extension Cord & J1772 Cable - for J1772 EVs…

I've used it nearly everyday for the last 2 and 1/2 years and haven't had a problem with it. It has delivered reliable, constant charging speeds for my X5 every time I have used it. Never had a fault , except maybe once when the power was interrupted. My car only pulls 16 amps so it maybe it doesn't put that much stress on the internals, but if this goes out I'll definitely be replacing it with another Lectron product. The only issue I can think of is the LCD screen pixels don't work that well anymore, but I never really used the screen anyway. I do like the feature where you could select and limit the amount of amperage output in case your breaker won't allow for higher amperage.

Lectron NEMA 14-50 Level 2 EV Charger - 240V 32 Amp with 21 ft Extension Cord & J1772 Cable - for J1772 EVs Purchased the charger in March 2023 and was very happy with quality and performance. However, 5 months later charger stopped functioning-nothing. Contacted customer service and am happy to report that Lectron corresponded immediately, and after reviewing a checklist of possible reasons, Lectron asked me to return the charger (they paid postage). I received a new charger within a week, and charger works perfectly. I'm guessing it was a fluke occurence, but Lectron customer service can be depended upon. Would recommend this company and this product.

I really liked this charger, good value for the money, and had no issues until two days ago. I went and unplugged my vehicle in the morning and when I went to leave it only had 44% of a charge. Weird but ok maybe something was with the vehicle. I drove to work and plugged into the charger there. It charged up no problem. Came home and plugged it in. Cam out this morning and saw the digital screen on this unit was glitching out. Checked and the vehicle was only at 46%. I went to unplug the unit from the vehicle and the handle was warm. Unhooked it and touched the wire/cable. It was also very warm. I went to unplug the unit from the outlet and noticed a melted spot on the back of the 14-50 plug. I immediately shut the breaker to the outlet off. The plug was so hot I had to get a glove to unplug it. This was very concerning. So I drove to work as normal and again no problems charging there. I also ran to a public charger to try it out there and again no problem so it’s not the vehicle. The outlet in my garage is an expensive name brand unit for EV’s and has been installed and used for several years so my only conclusion is to seriously spend the extra money on a UL-listed charger. I made the mistake and man I could of burnt my house down.

This charger worked for about 3 months then I had to contact customer support because it stopped working. They sent me a new after a few emails. After another 6 months that one stopped working. I’ve tried contacting customer service with no response, and now it’s been a year from my first purchase. I will update my rating if they’ll send me another one. Update: So it has nothing to do with the charger itself. It’s my outlet. I share the 220 plug with the dryer and some times it doesn’t jive. It’s been a good charger since I received the replacement more than a year ago.

Have had this for over a year now, and it has been working great for us. Have had absolutely no problems with it, and it charges fast enough to always have a full charge overnight. We like the 21 ft cord since we need at least 17 ft to reach the car spot from where we have this charger attached to the wall. Edit in Feb 2026: this is still working fine, no problems whatsoever.

After completing the installation and trying this charger out for the first time on my 2022 Kia Niro, it charged for 10 minutes and tripped the circuit breaker. I tried again and got the same result. The company was very responsive via email and went the extra distance to try to satisfy my issue. After conferring with a friend of mine who teaches electrical at a technical college, a quick amperage test found the problem. The installation requirements for this charger called for a 20 amp circuit breaker but when charger at the level 2 charging rate for 220/240 volts the amperage draw is 31-32 amps which was overpowering the 20 amp breaker. My friend showed me a couple of charts utilized in determining electrical usages per installation codes and the conclusion was to up the circuit breaker to 40 amp (can go as high as 50 using 8 gauge wire). Upon changing to the 40 amp breaker I proceeded to charge my car for 4 1/2 hours in 90 degree heat without any issues. That being said, this charger is a quality product and I like the convenience of it's portability along with the capability of utilizing different charging levels and the price is very reasonable.

This cord allows me to charge my 2023 Nissan Leaf at a Level 2 outlet that my stock cord faulted on. The stock cord that came with my Leaf was throwing an error code when plugged into the 220 plugs at my work. The Nissan Dealer said this is because the outlets weren't putting out a full 220w and the stock cord didn't like it. With this cord I am able to plug into those outlets and get a good charge of 10% per hour. This cord also shows what the outlet is putting out...in my case at work they are around 215w, which was low enough to fault the stock cord.

I’ll leave my original review below because I was happy with this cable for 14 months. But, on 14 months TO THE DAY! The cable failed completely. None of the lights come on. I’ve tried it on different outlets. Customer service says too bad because it’s 2 months past the 1 years warranty. A $300 cable shouldn’t fail in14 months. This is just another example of cheap Chinese products with good marketing. Original review: This was the third charge cable I bought after the two previous had failures. So far, this was is far better for two primary reasons and is only lagging in one. +1) The cable is rated for 32 amps and the controller actually has a step-down transformer so you don't have to worry about what is coming out of the outlet. The other chargers required me to adjust my car's draw to prevent them from over-amping. This was very annoying since I didn't always know what the outlet I was plugged into was rated for. Now, I can just leave my car at max amperage and just plug in the cable and charge. No extra steps. +2) The length of this cable is great. Some others claimed to be this long but had included the handle or were much shorter than advertised. The long cord means I can plug in no matter where the outlet is related to my car. -1)The one downside is that it's only rated for 32 amps, not 40 amps like the previous ones I had purchased. That means my car charges slower. The two positives totally outweigh the one slight negative.
