Do the E336193 EVSE units that come with the car crap out?

[Jarratt]

Our leased car is 23 mos old. The EVSE appears to have died. Is this common?

I started getting faults months in, if you read on here they really aren’t high quality units and certainly not worth the price that is being charged. I bought a Grizzl-E classic and have had no further issues to date.

They are covered under the 3yr/36 warranty from what I understand.

Thanks, mine worked for 23 months but broke 1 moth before the lease is up. We plan to buy the car but want the dealer to replace the unit. Both Grizzl & Tesla charger seem liked here.
I appreciate the reply.

That's very helpful. This is a leased car but we plan to buy it. I had no idea how often these units break.

Mine hasn't failed yet but it tends to overheat during hot weather. I'm planning on upgrading before summer hits, probably will get the emporia which seems to be a solid choice per this forum along with the grizzl-e.

You should still warranty the mobile unit, even if you're buying a more reliable home L2 ESVE, so you can at least keep it on board for travel.

I'm doing well with just L1 charging, but plan to install L2 soon. When I do I'll probably go with this Grizzl-e for $250.

so helpful. I just read the extremely positive State of Charge review. I am hoping I can get a replacement unit from the dealer under warranty, but it's great to learn about better units.

4 years and mine hasn’t failed yet either. It might be because I’ve never used it.

We use mine, but only on 120V to charge my wife's Fiat 500e with its AA-sized battery. It hasn't failed, but the outlet it is connected to (in a rental garage at our neighbors' house) has some sporadic fault that results in the Ford EVSE ofter displaying an amber light. When that happens, we just power cycle it and then it works fine again.

Mine is almost 5 years old but is only used for travel as I use a Pulsar for daily charging

I've used mine daily on 120 v for 2 years. It is my primary charger. I do not have an L2 charger and have not used a DCFC. No problems thus far.

Owned for 4+ years now and it never gave me any problems.

I built a little hutch for mine by the carport. In almost two years, it’s given me half dozen yellow fault lights. Though the breaker in the house hasn’t tripped, I just flip it off and on, and the charger works fine afterwards.
