Hello, could you please tell me which portable charger is the best to buy? We have a standard charger that comes with the electric car. But it is a level1 charger and the cable is short. We travel a lot, so what do you suggest for us?
If you travel a lot, you better buy a charger from a gasoline generator or buy a powerbanks for the car. But such powerbanks will take a very long time to charge your car. But if you stop by gas stations, you can charge at them almost everywhere now. Then you buy a classic second-tier portable charger. And you charge wherever you want and wherever there's an outlet. Here's a great article with the Top 7 portable chargers for EVs https://evadept.com/best-portable-ev-chargers/ After reading it, you can learn more about the different types of portable chargers and pick what you think you need. As for the outlet in your home, it should be a NEMA 6-20 or NEMA 14-50 type. These outlets are also installed for air conditioners or large clothes dryers.
