A portable EV charger is a device used to charge electric vehicles (EVs) when away from home or a fixed charging station. They are typically smaller and more compact than standard wall-mounted chargers, making them easy to transport and store. Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering a portable EV charger:
1. Charging speed: Make sure the charger you choose can charge your EV at an appropriate speed. Some chargers may be too slow to charge your car in a reasonable amount of time.
2. Compatibility: Check that the charger is compatible with your EV’s charging port. Some chargers may only work with certain vehicle models or charging standards (J1772, Type 2, etc.)
3. Power source: Portable chargers come in both AC and DC varieties. AC chargers can be used with a standard 120V or 240V outlet, while DC chargers require a higher voltage power source (such as a generator) to operate.
4. Cable length: Make sure the cable length is suitable for your needs, taking into account the distance between your charging port and the nearest power source.
5. Safety: Check that the charger is UL-listed or has other relevant safety certifications.
6. Portability: Consider the weight and size of the charger. Differently from other charging options, a portable EV charger must be easy to carry around and store.
7. Ease of use: Some chargers may be easier to use than others, with features such as LCD displays, Wi-Fi connectivity, and charging scheduling software.
