TOPDON Level 2 EV Charger, 40Amp Electric Vehicle Charger, 14-50 Plug NEMA TYPE4, UL Listed Energy Star, Electric Car Charger with WiFi, EVSE, Car Charging Station with PulseQ Smart App, 25FT Cable

This charger is capable of delivering up to 40 amps of power, which allows me to charge my electric vehicle quickly and efficiently.The charger comes with a 14-50 plug NEMA TYPE4, which is compatible with most standard outlets.Additionally, it is UL Listed and Energy Star certified, which gives me peace of mind knowing that it meets strict safety and efficiency standards.One of the best features of this charger is its WiFi connectivity, which allows me to monitor and control the charging process using the PulseQ Smart App. This app is user-friendly and provides real-time information on charging status, time remaining, and energy usage.The 25ft cable is also a great feature, as it gives me the flexibility to park my car in different locations without having to move the charger. The cable is durable and well-made, and it has held up well over time.Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Topdon Level 2 EV Charger. It is a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly charging solution that has made owning an electric vehicle even more enjoyable.

The basics of the charger are fine. The cord seems like decent quality and the price was right. I confirmed this model was on the UL's website before purchasing, that was important to me. The main reason i purchased this model was because of stated OCPP support.I wired an outlet, plugged the EVSE in, and used it for a couple days without OCPP setup. I did not use their app and I did not let the device on my wifi. Then I tried to figure out how to get OCPP working with the home assistant integration so I could control charging to match my electric rate plan along with any exceptions I wanted. It looks like the firmware is designed to work with their app using OCPP and a server they host somewhere. That's concerning if you're using the app because if they ever decide to shut down their server, your app will probably stop working. I managed to get everything working with Home Assistant though.First I connected to the SSID the EVSE broadcasts and navigated in a browser to 192.168.4.1. There's a basic login, i believe the password was 123456789. There's no way of changing the password either, so not ideal security but I have it on a VLAN with no internet access so it's not a big deal to me. On the settings page, I had to change the SSID to my IOT network and enter the password for it. Reading some OCPP documentation, it sounds like their "Plug and Play" option is referring to whether the charger will just start working when you plug it in or not. I think if you select yes, OCPP will not function. So i have it set to no. I set the OCPP server to ws://HomeAssistantIP:7080, and left the OCPP AuthPass default of "0". In home assistant I am able to see how many watts the EVSE is charging with, whether something is plugged in, and enable or disable charging. There are a handful of other fields that appear to work but i don't use them. Lastly, it appears that the configuration webpage is hardcoded with the 192.168.4.1 IP address, so if you join your SSID and try to access it at a new IP address, it will load, but trying to log in or submitting any changes will direct the HTTP request to the old IP so nothing will work. I suppose you could figure out how to build a HTTP PUT command with the info you care about, but I just reset the EVSE by holding the stop button on the side of the unit until it beeps. That resets the wifi and broadcasts its own SSID again and uses 192.168.4.1 so that you can login and try changing settings again.Overall, for the price, i expected this unit to have some quirky UI features, but I was able to get it to work. It was by far the cheapest UL listed EVSE of its size, and it seems like decent quality. I'm pleased. I'll update if I run into any issues.

Already had an existing 32A Clipper Creek EVSE for y years now. Decided to upgrade to this unit to increase charging speed on my Model 3 from 30MPH (32A) to 38MPH (40A).Existing circuit is 50A breaker, so supports 40A charging. Physical setup of the EVSE was easy. However once hooked up and tesla set to 40A, it would only reach 30MPH/32A charging speed. Stop and started several times. Tried starting charging from the Tesla. Tried starting the charging from the Pulse app (which showed 40A). Even did a firmware update on the EVSE. Nothing I did would allow 40A charging.Back to Amazon it goes.

Reliably charges my PHEV. The only drawback is that it will not resume charging once the charging is complete, and I then ask the vehicle to pre-condition, I.e. pre-warm the car on a very cold morning. This makes the pre-conditioning draw from the battery, rather than external power. I have another EVSE in my garage which will provide this external power. Makes getting in the car on a cold morning a not unpleasant experience.. Otherwise, I like the equipment. Has an iPhone app that lets me monitor it.

Level 2 ev chargers come in all shapes an colors, they all charger at about 40 amps for the plugins and 50 for the wire-ins. Having bought this for my garage, two things were key for me, a simple aesthetic without digital displays and obviously, that water proof housing for when I'm cleaning up.I wanted this form factor as the extension cable styled ones are sooo tedious to work with, this functions pretty much like a fuel pump at the gas station, which brings about that ease of use, additionally, I like the safety of not charging until that is specifically initiated, I saw some folks finding that tedious, but when you're dealing with this many amps, I prefer it not to be live at the point of connecting to the car.It works, the app is nice, the installation is a piece of cake if you can handle a drill and some screws, what more is there to ask for? oh yeah that timeless simplicity, too many ev chargers are flashy and that aesthetic never works for long, this understated case is a nice change. Great work topdon!
