bokman- Level 2 Mobile Charger for Tesla Competitors
Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger
The Bokman 16 Amp Wall Charger competes with the Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger.
The Bokman charger offers both Level 1 and Level 2 compatibility, making it versatile and portable. It comes with a NEMA 6-20 plug for Level 2 charging and a NEMA 5-15 plug for Level 1 charging. In comparison, the Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger is a 110V, 15 Amp charger with a NEMA 5-15 plug and a 16 ft extension cord. While both chargers are compatible with all Tesla models (X/Y/3/S), we recommend the Bokman for its budget-friendly price, added features, and dual charging capabilities.
We recommend the Bokman 16 Amp Wall Charger as a cost-effective solution for Tesla owners looking for a reliable portable Tesla charging option. It supports both Level 1 and Level 2 charging, offering flexibility for different power sources. However, it lacks the advanced features and faster charging speeds found in Tesla EV charger models. If budget is not an issue, and you are looking for a permanent (hardwired) home EV charger for Tesla, we recommend purchasing Tesla chargers.
