This charger is almost perfect for my 240V dryer outlet, which has a rating of 30 Amps for maximum peak current and 24 Amps for continuous charging.
Previously, I had a generic J1772 240V charger rated at 16 Amps (with a Tesla adapter), as it was considered the safest option for 240V dryer outlets. However, the Voltre charger has pleasantly surprised me with its 50% faster charging speed compared to my previous charger. In fact, it would be even faster if I had a dedicated outlet from the breaker, rather than relying on my 240V dryer outlet conversion.
The build quality and functionality of the Voltre M2 Lightning charger are excellent. It offers adjustable charging rates from 8 to 32 Amps, allowing me to customize the charging speed to my needs. The 25-foot cable provides ample length to reach my vehicle comfortably anywhere in the 2-car garage, adding to the convenience factor.
My only complaint is the included adapter is not suitable for 110V or any residential 240V outlets in the US – most residential homes in Southern Nevada come with gauge of solid 10 AWG wiring, which is capable of handling up to 24-30 Amps (countinous/max) – so this adapter will not serve as an emergency converter when users are need of charging in a 110V-only house/hotel.
My suggestion to the manufacturer is to change the complimentary adapter to NEMA 5-15 to enable Level 1 charging in case of users emergency use.
Overall, the Voltre M2 Lightning EV Charger has exceeded my expectations in terms of charging speed and performance. Its ability to provide 1.5x to 2x faster charging compared to my previous charger is impressive compared to those generic 16 Amps J1772 chargers.
The build quality and customizable charging rates (remote control through app) are also commendable.
I highly recommend this charger to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient charging solution for their Tesla and non-Tesla EV cars.
