AeroVironment Plug-In Residential EV Charger (Level 2 Plug-In EVSE-RS: 7.2kW, 30A)

We had been trying to buy this product for about a month on Amazon but it had been sold out. We were able to order it from aerovironment directly about two weeks ago, before it reappeared on Amazon. We did pay a bit more but weren't sure when we would see it here on the site. So far it has been great. We had the outlet installed for around $250 and that made installation very easy. Didn't take much over twenty minutes and we were charging the car with the Level 2 charger. Having the charger is great and relieves a lot of the anxiety range you can get with the level 1 charger and a Leaf. If you can get over the fact the manufacturer also builds drones, this is a good product. One other issue is it is a little harder to get the nozzle into the car than the charger that comes with the car. Our 5 year old loves setting up the charger but has had trouble with the new charger.

This EVSE works perfectly with my 2012 Nissan LEAF. I installed the outlet for it myself and then just plugged this in when it arrived -although, a word of warning, you probably don't want to do it like that. Wait for this to arrive before installing an outlet, because the included template shows you good places to put the outlet -mine was actually a little bit too close. The cord is very short and very stiff, so the valid locations for the outlet are limited.

My only complaint is that these things are so expensive. Considering what it does: When it gets an appropriate signal from the car, it turns on the AC current in the cable. It doesn't seem like there's a thousand dollars worth of technology here.

The package arrived in a day even before Amazon updated the shipping status. Very easy to install. Plug connection is pretty short and thick, so you may want to install the NEMA 6-50 receptacle after installing the unit. The included templates provides all "reaches" for installing the outlet .

It charges the car and gets the job done. Appears to be a quality piece of equipment, but I'm not sure why it should cost $1,000+. It's a charger, not a computer, but from what I read it's the best one for the Leaf so I bought it. Other than the high cost, I'm happy with it. I'm hoping it lasts forever.
