One of the biggest advantages of the Splitvolt Level 2 EV Charger is it is very easy to use. Unlike many hardwired charging stations, this charger plugs directly into a NEMA 10-30 outlet, eliminating the need for complicated installation.
It delivers up to 24 amps of power, which is the highest charging rate permitted on a NEC-approved 30-amp circuit, allowing many EVs, including long-range models, to recharge overnight.
Another standout feature is its adjustable amperage settings as users can select charging currents of 8A, 10A, 12A, 16A, 20A, or 24A depending on their electrical setup and charging needs.
The built-in LCD display provides real-time charging information, allowing users to monitor charging status and performance without relying on a smartphone app.
The charger also includes a delay charging function that allows users to postpone charging in one-hour increments. This feature can help take advantage of lower off-peak electricity rates and reduce charging costs over time.
Another major selling point is its portability. Weighing only 7.7 pounds, the Splitvolt charger is easy to carry and store. Whether you're travelling, visiting family, or taking a road trip, the lightweight design makes it easy to bring along as a portable charging solution.
The charger works with a wide range of EVs and plug-in hybrids, including models from Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Nissan, Kia, Rivian, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and others. However, Tesla vehicles can also use the charger with the J1772 adapter included with most Tesla models.
