OFF-ROADING AN EV? YOU NEED THIS CHARGING SETUP

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth unboxing and initial comparison of the Lectron portable 40 amp Level 2 EV charger against the Ford-issued charger. The reviewer highlights the Lectron charger's superior build quality, robust case, and more substantial components compared to the Ford charger, which he found flimsy and overpriced. Key advantages of the Lectron unit include its 40-amp capability (exceeding the Ford's 30-amp limitation), Wi-Fi and app connectivity, and a more durable design. The primary drawback identified is the Lectron charger's 16-foot cord, which the reviewer feels is too short for optimal placement when using an inverter generator, preferring a 20-25 foot cable. Despite this, the reviewer expresses strong initial satisfaction with the Lectron charger's value and build, especially when contrasted with the significantly more expensive and less robust Ford alternative. The video sets the stage for real-world testing of the Lectron charger in off-grid conditions.
