If you're an electric vehicle (EV) owner, convenience and charging efficiency are likely at the top of your priority list. The bokman Portable Level 2 & Level 1 EV Charger is designed to deliver both, practical and affordable solution for those who want flexibility without the complexity of smart apps.
The charger comes equipped with a 20-foot charging cable, giving EV users enough reach for most driveways, garages, and parking spaces. It supports both 240V Level 2 charging through its NEMA 6-20 plug and 120V Level 1 charging via the included NEMA 5-15 adapter.
Notably, the bokman charger also includes a carrying bag, cable holder, microfiber towel, and adapter, making it convenient for travel. However, unlike many modern chargers that rely heavily on smartphone apps, the charger keeps things simple with physical control buttons.
Pros
- Versatile compatibility
- Supports both Level 1 and Level 2 charging
- Fast charging
- 20-foot cable offers good charging flexibility
Cons
- No Wi-Fi or smart app connectivity
- Not compatible with Tesla vehicles without additional solutions
- Mechanical timer lacks advanced scheduling features
The adjustable amperage settings are one of the standout features of the bokman Portable Level 2 & Level 1 EV Charger. Users can switch between 6A, 8A, 10A, 12A, and 16A output levels, allowing them to safely match the charger's power draw to their home's electrical circuit.
Another strong point of this charger is durability. It features an IP65 waterproof rating and multiple built-in safety protections, including overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, short-circuit, and ground fault protection.
Moreover, the built-in delay timer allows charging sessions to start anywhere from one to twelve hours later, helping users take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
The bokman charger also uses the standard J1772 connector, ensuring compatibility with most EVs and plug-in hybrid models sold in North America. However, when it comes to Tesla vehicles this charger is not directly compatible.
