Compact, versatile Level 2 EV charger

This electric vehicle charger (aka EVSE - electric vehicle supply equipment) by Rexing works especially well as a portable charger. It is compact, and a canvas carrying case is included for storage. On the vehicle side, it has a J1772 plug, which is currently the predominant standard for non-Tesla EVs and PHEVs. On the power input side, it accepts 240V (making it a Level 2 charger) and features a NEMA 14-50 plug, which is commonly used by RVs (and thus often available at campgrounds). It works fine without the neutral blade of the 14-50 plug being wired (I tested it successfully with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle that did not have the neutral wired). Furthermore, it has a configurable current limit (several preset levels between 10A and 32A). These features mean that this charger can easily work with a variety of 240V circuits and receptacles that may lack a neutral conductor and or may not support 50A of continuous current (for instance, circuits for electric clothes dryers and ranges). You'll just need to purchase an appropriate adapter. So, this charger definitely has some versatility; about all that it can't do is charging from a standard 120V outlet.
(Although I talked breezily about adapting this charger to a variety of receptacles, please remember that you are dealing with significant electrical voltages and currents. Do your research, spring for high quality products, and consult a professional if you are not absolutely sure of what you are doing!)
Of course, this charger will work just fine as an everyday-use charger at home too. The aforementioned versatility may be useful even there, perhaps for new EV owners that may not yet have gotten a purpose-built wall charger installed but have an accessible 240V outlet available. This Rexing charger can be hung on a wall using a single keyhole screw slot on the back (so it's not the most secure mounting design). Its biggest limitation for use in most garages will probably be the length of the cord, which is only 17 feet. (Rexing does make an extension for the J1772 plug, which is honestly quite a handy thing to have for an EV anyway.)
I've been using this charger on a 30A circuit at home (I haven't gotten a higher capacity circuit installed yet), and it has worked perfectly for me with a max current setting of 24A. I appreciate that it has a small screen that reports the internal temperature. Temperatures haven't been concerning at all (although I'm also not using at its max rating of 32A), and nothing has gotten hot to the touch yet. Subjectively, I think it feels like a pretty well-built product.
Considering that this charger has a plug designed for 50A circuits, I think it would have been nice for this charger to support a max current of 40A. (That is about the highest current recommended to use on a 50A circuit.) I don't consider it a major complaint - I'm currently limited to less than 30A anyway, and as nice as faster charging is, lower current is always a little safer. I do wish the cord was longer so that I could use it without an extension, but I recognize that this would make it somewhat heavier and bulkier which isn't ideal for a charger aimed at portability. Nonetheless, I think this portable charger is still worth recommending to anyone that might want a system flexible enough to use with a variety of 240V outlets. It would also be a great charger to start with, and then relegate to on-the-go use once you have a home charging station with higher current support or a longer cable.

As an electric vehicle (EV) owner finding a reliable and efficient portable charger is essential for me especially during road trips or when there are no available charging stations nearby. The Rexing J1772 portable 16A charger has certainly exceeded my expectations.
First and foremost the build quality of this charger is outstanding. It feels solid and well-constructed which gives me confidence in its durability and long-term reliability. The compact design and lightweight nature of the charger make it easy to carry and store in the trunk of my car without taking up much space.
One of the standout features of the Rexing J1772 is its ability to charge at a maximum rate of 16A. This higher charging speed allows me to quickly top up my EV's battery reducing the waiting time significantly. The charger also provides a safe and stable charging experience without any issues of overheating or voltage fluctuations.
The J1772 connector is compatible with a wide range of electric vehicles making it a versatile choice for EV owners. I appreciate the convenience of being able to use this charger with different models and brands of EVs without needing to purchase additional adapters.
Another noteworthy feature of the Rexing charger is its LED display. The display provides real-time information on the charging status including the current charging rate and the amount of energy transferred. This feature is especially useful when monitoring the charging progress allowing me to plan my charging sessions effectively.
Furthermore the charging cable is long enough to reach distant charging ports ensuring flexibility and convenience in different parking situations. I have found the cable to be durable and tangle-free which saves me from the frustration of dealing with tangled cords.
However one downside of the Rexing J1772 portable charger is that it lacks advanced smart features like app connectivity or scheduling options. While it's not a deal-breaker these features could enhance the overall user experience and make charging even more efficient.
In conclusion the Rexing J1772 portable 16A charger is a fantastic investment for any EV owner. Its impressive build quality fast charging capabilities compatibility and informative LED display make it a reliable and efficient charging solution. Despite the absence of advanced smart features the convenience and performance of this charger make it a top choice in the market.

This is the Rexing J1772 32A portable EV charger. The J1772 port is the one that's found on a wide variety of of charging stations and is basically designed for use with L1 to L3 charging. The AC adapter end is for NEMA 14-50 outlets. This is a beefier 240V plug which since people may only have on a dryer or stove/oven or perhaps a welder in the garage. Otherwise one is probably paying to have it installed. This particular model can supply up to 32A of charging current or 7.6kW. This is nearing the top end of home installations though some will get up to 10kW. For me, this is my go-to primary charger, let's me charge up multiple vehicles in a single day and I can do a full charge to prep for a trip overnight.
If you're just a single EV household and have a vehicle like the Model 3, your daily commute may only compromise about 10-25% of the battery range, so 28-70 miles round trip. That is an amount this charger can replenish in 1-3 hours which is a awesome if you've got multiple cars to charge but only one charger (or one 14-50 plug). I also like it for trips as I can charge fast at an RV rest stop. The downside is that got many other places, only 110V plus are available so you'd need to bring an L1 charger as backup.
Using the charger is pretty straight forward. Plug one end into your wall outlet and the other into your vehicle. Depending on the vehicle, you may need an adapter for J1772. This model has a screen, button, and indicator lights. Most of the time, all you really care about are the lights, specifically the color (red, green, or blue or all three). When first plugged in you'll see all three colors as it detects what's going on then flashing green to indicate charging and solid green when done (vehicle stops drawing current). Seeing red by itself is an error indication of some sort which you'll not need to decode any flashing rate, just read the error from the screen. You'll see blue when you use the button to configure things which is pretty much either seeing current or turning on and off ground connection, and saying a charging time.
As this is a, relatively speaking, dumb charger, it outputs the same current when charging and is unable to adjust itself to your circuit. So showing the current man's is needed to deal with other loads on the same circuit as your charger, reducing the rate to something that gives you the desired charge after your normal charging window but perhaps at a lower rate for battery longevity, or if you have demand utility billing, helping keep your max power draw below some threshold. To enter the config menu, you press and hold the button for about 3 seconds. Pressing the button once will cycle through the options on the screen. Pressing and holding for 3s makes a selection. Once you've made a selection, that saves the seeing and exits the config menu. So you need to go through the complete process for everything you want to change.
Charging current options start at 10A or 2.4kW. While often, you're current limiting to help reduce wear on battery, 2.4kW is low enough that I feel fine using that as a daily charge setting for times where I'm just doing a normal 10-25% battery commute. Having the higher power option though allows me to charge up one vehicle after getting home then swap to the second before going to bed and walking up to it also charged.
The charge time can be useful depending on your vehicle. Some vehicles can't disconnect the charger electronically. So they need to waste the energy once the battery is charged or had reached the desired set SoC (state of charge). So, to reduce waste, you can program the charger to only charge for a set time then turn off ensuring that you limit waste. This can also be useful for managing time of use electricity billing, you can limit the charging time to when rates are low knowing you won't need to keep a close eye on the time or be around to disconnect the charger.
At far as using it goes, the charger for what it claimed. It's reported charging current and my car agreed pretty closely. I could reach the 7.6,kWAmax. If only there was a way to swap the inputs to show it to operate as a L1 charger on 110V. I do worry more about this one on trips versus it's 16A L1 brother. But it does the job well and for me at this time, is the higher used one. Technically, it's portable but right now, 14-50 isn't common enough for me to feel that really counts. I would say "mobile" is a better description.

Affordable Charging Solution for your EV

Now this is a beast charger in my opinion compared to my other Rexing charging cable that uses 120V. I decided I would get this model - The Rexing J1772 EV since it is a more powerful and get your electric vehicle charged pretty quick. All in all, it is a portable electric vehicle (EV) charger that includes a 17 ft extension cable and a 32A portable charger. The charger itself has a NEMA 14-50 plug and is capable of Level 2 charging. It also has an LED indicator and a user-friendly interface that provides real-time charging updates. The LED indicator lights display your car's charging status while the system interface screen gives a real-time update of charging voltage, charging amps, wattage, time, KWh charged, and settings, ensuring you have all the information at a glance. So no need for an app of any kind, everything is displayed for you to see and know when you are going to be back on the road again.
Since it is a Level 2 charger, it can provide 3 kW to 19 kW of AC power. This charger can add up to 25 miles of range per hour, which is about five times faster than a Level 1 charger. As I mentioned before Level 2 chargers are the most powerful EV chargers that can be installed easily at any house and potentially save you money.
This has been a good purchase and investment for my EV, so I'd definitely recommend anyone looking for an easy solution to charge your EV, to give this one a try.

I have been pondering over this review for a while now. There's not a lot of products that I don't have much to say for and this is one of them. But it's nothing bad, in fact its a great sign.
This product just does what it's supposed to do - as simple as that. No muss, no fuss - this will charge your vehicle. I have not had any issues with this at all, and I have done multiple overnight charges with this.
I have always set it to 32 amp mode and it's provided me with the juice I expected. in about 7ish hours I get about 50+kWh of charge.
I always charge up to 80% on AC charging, and so this is perfect to get me to 80 every morning before my commute. No heating issues, no charge error issues - that was my biggest worry with a new charger.
I have tried switching the current to 10A, 16A, 24A, 32A and again it just works. I really haven't had the need to use it though.
It is a bit on the short side though - my charger is on the driver side of my garage, but the car's charging port is on the passenger side, and I didn't anticipate that the cord won't just go over the car, but around the back of it. Can't fault the product for it though and it still reaches, just hangs a bit off the ground - and my worry is that would cause stress on the joints over time (its a heavy cable after all).

The Rexing - J1772 portable charger - 32A is a portable, Level 2 charging cable primarily design for EVs/PHEVs (non Tesla) that can be charged from a regular 240v electric circuit. Because it is charging at 240v (not 120v) charging times are about one half or less of the time for a 120v charger. This means that a PHEV with a useable 15kwh battery like the basic Toyota Rav4 Prime can be more conveniently charged during the day in addition to overnight. Since it requires a 40-50a, 240v electrical circuit, a modification to your home electrical system may be required. This cost can usually be covered by a state/utility program for home EV electrical upgrades. For example, in the state of North Carolina, a $1100 credit is provided by Duke Utility.
I have a basic Toyota Rav4 Prime. The Prime is a PHEV with an approxiately usable 15 kwhr battery. The Rexing - J1772 portable charger - 32A charges my vehicle in 5.5 hours instead of the 11 hours with a 120v charger. While charging, the Rexing also provides useful information such as voltage, current, etc. When charging is completed, I have about 51 miles of electrical range.
I highly recommend the Rexing 32A if you want to charge your PHEV in less time or require the greater speed (voltage) to charge your EV.

I recently leased a Mercedes EQS sedan and to my surprise Mercedes no longer includes a charging cable. The Rexing J1772 Level 2 NEMA 15-50 portable EV charger is a high quality charger capable of charging at 32 A. The charger is made of high quality materials that rival that of the manufacturer at a lower price point. The charger quickly reached its max charging rate without issue. I also own a Tesla model 3 and was able to charge the Tesla using a Rexing SAE J1772 adapter. The charger housing itself contains a monochrome screen that shows you how amps your vehicle is charging at as well as how many KWh and time charged. I did not really set any of the timers on the unit itself since I have all of the settings in the car itself. The cable is long enough to give you 17 ft to play around with in positioning your car. Even though the cable itself is made of high quality materials we will have to see how it will stand the test of time through repeated plugging and unplugging. It is important to register the EV charger on the Rexing website so that you can be sure of having your 18 month waranty if needed

My review is based on my home charging setup for my 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E all-wheel drive. It is a 91kw battery system. The Rexing 32A level 2 charger works perfectly with it. It was able to provide 7kwh of power, whereas the most I ever could get from the included Ford charger was 6kwh. I like the readout screen on the charger itself that tells you its own temperature, the charging voltage, the charging current, the kwh charged and charging speed. You can change the amperage settings on the charger itself if desired. You can also set a timer on the charger from 1 to 12 hours if you want to limit the amount of charge you get and not go to 100%. I have always just used my car settings to control the percentage if i want to change it. The included carrying case is nice and easy to place the charger back into. The charger plug for the car connection has an attached dust cover, which i think is a great idea since I believe most electric vehicle owners keep their chargers stored in the garage when not in use. I highly recommend this charger as your primary charger or as a convenient back-up or travel charger.
