Works Great, Very Durable, Life Saver

I bought this about a week ago and have used it every night since I've gotten it. I was very apprehensive the first time I actually used it because 1) it was pouring rain, 2) I had my Level 1 charger connected to a 25 ft extension cable as well (not recommended, I know). I have had no issues with this cable connecting to my Jeep Wrangler 4xe, and its been used literally every night in the rain for 7+ hours and my Jeep has always charged faster than the displayed time.
I was also a little nervous about this product after seeing quite a few reviews mentioning the protective sheathing coming off near the ends...the material on this cable seems super durable and unless it is being treated rather harshly, I don't see the sheathing coming apart as I've seen in other reviews very easily...they must be yanking on the cable from the other end or something to do that after "a couple uses". Leave some slack, be smart about it, and I don't see why this product won't last a good amount of time.
One thing to keep in mind, as this is a 40ft long cable made of very thick material, it is a pretty hefty cable to coil up and carry. It can definitely be a PITA and I've invested in some additional items to make it more manageable (mainly a hose reel and a box to store it in and transport if needed).
But overall, definitely love this thing, my Jeep is down a 50 ft driveway and there is no way in heck I'd be able to charge it at home without this extension cable. 100% recommend if you are in need of more range for your charger!

What I was looking for
on September 14, 2020

This is exactly what I was looking for. It supports up to 40 amp charging and it also comes with a heavy-duty 40ft/12m outdoor cable. I used a 20 foot cable before and it was ok 90% of the time but 40 feet will be 100%. I needed an extension to reach our outlet and it works well.

This worked great. I bought as insurance since I reside in CA and there are so many Tesla level 2 chargers out there. Stopped at a distillery in Napa and charged my Mach E. I didn’t have to pay for any charges during the whole trip.

The product works on the Ioniq 5 but you do have to plug it in with the tesla charger and wait 30 sec for it to fail and then turn on the car for it to start charging.

It works like advertised. My wife has a Tesla and charges it at home. I got this so I could charge my Ford Mach E. Charged at 23m per hour.

My 4th purchase at Lectron. Three chargers (EVSE) and this Tesla to J1772 adapter. We have a 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV and a 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve+. I've been charging the Bolt for over a year with the same Lectron EVSE. I keep one EVSE in the Bolt, one is mounted in the driveway (on the side of the house), and the third is mounted in the garage. The one mounted outside on the side of the house, is the one that has been used for the Bolt. Outside in every form of weather, in every range of temperature, still going strong.

So Amazing

Bought this and got to use it same day. Went to a hotel that had two Tesla home charging stations. Plugged it up waited 30 seconds then plugged into my bolt. In the morning my bolt was 100%
