Amazon is offering the VEVOR 16A Level 1+2 Portable EV Charger for $92.69 shipped. Down from its usual $130 price tag, since the new year began we haven’t seen much diversity in its discounts, often falling to the same $105 rate on average, which does beat out the $125+ rates from 2023, though the price hasn’t fallen lower past $100. Today’s deal, however, finally breaks the slow and steady progression for a sharp and sudden spike downwards as a 29% markdown that lands at a new all-time low.
Compatible with both NEMA 6-20R and NEMA 5-15P plugs, this 16A (maximum) portable EV charger is suitable for EVs that adhere to the J1772 standard and could use a handy backup charger when out on the road far from home. Its controller automatically adjusts the current according to the charging status to avoid overcharging, while also providing lightening, leakage, grounding, over-voltage, under-voltage, overcharge, over-current, and overheat protection. You can control and monitor the charging status remotely through the Smart App, as well as schedule charging time for 1-12 hours, letting you take advantage of off-peak charging and reduce your vehicle usage costs. Package also includes a hard-shell storage bag, a base, a charging cable hook, and an adapter.
Of course, I’m sure most of you, like me, saw the 16A maximum output of the above charger and immediately thought “I’ll be waiting so much longer for a full charge.” Well, Amazon has also cut prices on the VEVOR 40A Level 2 Portable EV Charger that is now at $133, down from $200. This upgraded model features a similar LED display, as well as the smart chip that provides the same list of protections as the above model. You’ll also get the same smart controls – especially for off-peak hour scheduling – and it arrives compatible with vehicles and plug-in hybrids that comply with the J1772 standard, requiring only a NEMA 14-50 outlet to plug the charger into. The main difference here is the obvious increase in amperage limit, with this model able to reach 40A while charging over the previous model’s 16A.
And for non-Tesla EV owners who regularly stay at Airbnbs, with family members who are Tesla owners, or are regularly taking road trips, check out the Rexing Tesla to J1772 EV Charger Adapter that is still at the best price we have tracked, along with some options in the same post for those of you who are Tesla drivers and may want to upgrade your home charging setup. There’s also Peak Design’s new 15W Qi2 iPhone car mounts that are worth a look, or you can head over to our Green Deals hub for more EV deals, electric tool dscounts, power station sales, and more.
