EVDANCE Level 1 & Level 2 EV Charger Review — Flexible, Portable, and Compatible for Everyday Use

The EVDANCE Level 1 & Level 2 Portable EV Charger (12A/16A, 25FT) is designed for EV owners who want a reliable, lightweight, and versatile charging solution that can work at home, on the road, or in temporary setups like apartments and rentals. With dual-voltage support, durable construction, and broad EV compatibility, it’s a strong contender among portable chargers in the mid-range category.

1. Dual-Level Charging — Level 1 (12A) & Level 2 (16A)

EVDANCE delivers flexibility by supporting both charging levels:

Level 2 Charging (Faster):

• NEMA 6-20 plug
• 240V / 16A (3.68 kW)
• Charging speed approx. 10–12 miles per hour

Level 1 Charging (Backup Mode):

• Includes NEMA 6-20 → 5-15 adapter
• 120V / 12A (1.44 kW)
• Charging speed approx. 2–5 miles per hour

The ability to switch between Level 1 and Level 2 makes it ideal for:

• Travel and road trips
• Apartments where outlets vary
• Older homes lacking 240V outlets
• Emergency or temporary charging

2. Portability & 25FT Cable for Convenient Use

One of the advantages of EVDANCE is its portability. The included storage bag makes it easy to carry, while the 25-foot cable provides enough length for multi-vehicle garages, driveways, and public-use scenarios.

The cable remains flexible in colder temperatures, which is important in northern climates and winter travel.

3. LED Status Indicators

The built-in LED indicator system displays:

• Charging status
• Power status
• Error warnings (overheat, fault, voltage issues, etc.)

This simplifies troubleshooting and provides clarity during charging sessions.

4. Broad J1772 Compatibility

EVDANCE uses the standard SAE J1772 connector, making it compatible with most major EV manufacturers:

• Ford
• Chevrolet
• Hyundai
• Kia
• Audi
• Nissan Ariya
• Rivian (R1T / R1S)
• Volkswagen

However, it is NOT compatible with:

• Mini Cooper Electric Hardtop
• Toyota Prius Prime, bZ4X, RAV4 Prime
• Porsche Taycan models

Tesla vehicles require a J1772-to-Tesla/NACS adapter (sold separately).

5. Safety, Durability & Certifications

EVDANCE uses rugged materials and multiple electronic protections to ensure safe charging at home or on the road.

Safety Ratings:

• FCC & CE certified
• IP66 weather-resistant housing
• UL 94 V-0 flame-resistant materials

Built-In Protections:

• Over-current protection
• Over-voltage / under-voltage protection
• Overheating protection
• Ground fault monitoring

Its control box features intelligent chip monitoring to prevent overheating or electrical faults.

Pros & Cons

Final Verdict

The EVDANCE Level 1 & Level 2 Portable EV Charger is a versatile, well-built charging solution ideal for travel, secondary charging, or homes without dedicated Level 2 infrastructure. Its dual-voltage support, rugged protection features, and broad J1772 compatibility make it a reliable option in the portable charger category.
