For the asking price, this EV charger is a pretty good deal. Most of the chargers on the market that'll do 40 amps cost more, and the 32 amp ones are generally about the same price as this one. It worked fine charging my Chevy Bolt, connection was easy, just plug it into my existing 14-50 outlet (make sure it's EV rated and not just a cheapo oven type outlet), then run the cable out to the car and plug it in. The cable length at 20 feet is generally sufficient but it would have been nice to have a few more feet. I have another name brand charger that I use at home with a 25 foot cable, to use this one I had to move the car closer to the garage door than normal in order to get the cable to reach. The model I got has the J1772 connector, which is compatible with almost every EV on the road with the exception of Teslas. If you have a Tesla or one of the latest generation of EVs with the NACS connector you'll need to buy the NACS model or use an adapter. Quality seems good, the cables are firmly attached and heavy enough to support the amperage. One thing I really appreciate on this charger is the display includes a temperature reading. No documentation to explain exactly what it's monitoring but I presume it's the internal temp of the charger housing. In my testing I first ran it at the full 40 amp setting for several minutes and found the cable from the wall to the charger was just a bit warm to the touch, the temp display still said 80 degrees. Ambient temp was mid 50s. I then set the amperage down to 16 as that's where I'm actually going to be running this charger at another location and let it run for a few hours to charge my car up. Temp reading on the display still hovered around 80 while the cord temp as checked by an infrared temp gun said 65. Judging by that I'm happy with it.

I have been using this Level 2 charger at home for a few weeks now and it has completely changed my charging routine. Coming from a basic Level 1 setup this feels like jumping from dial up to fiber. Plug it in overnight and the car is ready by morning without having to plan my life around charging time.
The LCD screen is clear and genuinely useful. Being able to adjust the amperage and set a timer for off peak hours is a big plus especially if you are trying to manage electricity costs. Just note you do need to set everything before plugging into the vehicle which is not a big deal once you know. The 20 foot cable is generous and flexible enough to make driveway parking stress free.
Build quality feels solid and confidence inspiring. It has already been through rain and cold mornings without any issues and the weather resistance seems legit. The J1772 connector clicks in securely and works perfectly with my EV.
If I had to nitpick the unit is a little larger than expected so wall placement takes a bit of planning. Still for the charging speed features and certifications this is absolutely worth the price. It delivers exactly what you want from a home EV charger fast safe and drama free. It’s compatible with the charger port in my garage. And very easy to install and to use.

This is a nice, basic+ charger with 9AWG power wiring. I don't see 9 AWG wire in wiring charts for the current limit, but it's between 8 and 10 AWG that seems to support 40 or 30 amps? I'm using it at 32 amps since my charger dedicated circuit breaker is 40 amps. The cable imprint shows it's a four wire cable, so it doesn't support the full J1772 feature set (requiring five wires), but it does have a variable current output and delayed start capability. I call this basic+ since my GM Ultium dual level charger is even more basic, with just a single LED to indicate status and a fixed current output maximum (depending on whether the 120v or 240v pigtail is installed).
The label indicates this is ETL certified as the listing advertises. I double checked the brand and model number against the Intertek ETL listings and it is indeed there, and the company name matches the Amazon listing. So as far as I can tell, the Taranasa J1772-A1 40A model is genuinely ETL listed to be a UL-2594 compliant EVSE device.
I haven't installed the charging cable holder since I'm just reusing the holder setup I already have, but it seems reasonable and even angles downward a bit, a nice feature so the charging head doesn't jut out away from the wall as much as it might with a typical holder that is perpendicular to the wall.
The main issues I have with this charger are that it offers a delay timer only rather than a time of day scheduler and only with a one hour increment. The button interface is also only unidirectional so not only is it a pain to set up the time you want to charge, but if you press too fast and overshoot, you have to cycle through the 12 one-hour delay values again. If you have a small discounted time-of-use window, the one hour increment is a pain to maximize charging during the discounted operation.
The annoying way the Equinox EV schedules preferred charging times combined with the delay timer interface makes life more annoying than it needs to be.
To get everything to work semi-smoothly, it also seemed necessary for the charger to be in charging mode rather than just standing by. With the charger plugged in but the car effectively doing nothing, the charger's display said it is putting out 200 watts of power. That makes me hesitant to keep the charger plugged in to use for preconditioning the cabin in winter time if having everything working the way the car needs would also be consuming this much power while "idle". I'll need to do more experiments to see if this can be avoided while allowing the car to do its scheduled charging and on-demand cabin preconditioning..
