Raylix 16A Level 1 & Level 2 EV Charger Review — A Practical, User-Friendly Portable Charging Solution

Portable EV chargers continue to grow in popularity as more drivers look for flexible and affordable ways to charge at home, at work, or on the road. The Raylix 16A Level 1/2 EV Charger is one of the most practical and well-designed options in its category, offering features typically found in higher-end models— all at a budget-friendly price.

1. User-Friendly Display: Clear Charging Data at a Glance

One of the standout features of the Raylix charger is its integrated display screen, which shows real-time charging information such as:

• Charging current (amps)
• Charging duration
• Voltage information
• Power delivery
• Error or protection indicators

This screen eliminates the need to rely solely on your car’s dashboard or smartphone apps. It’s especially helpful when charging from unfamiliar outlets while traveling.

2. Universal Compatibility with All J1772 EVs

The Raylix charger uses the widely-adopted SAE J1772 connector, making it compatible with nearly all electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in North America, including:

• Chevrolet / GM
• Nissan
• Audi
• Kia / Hyundai
• BMW
• Ford
• Honda
• Volkswagen

Tesla drivers can also use it with a J1772-to-Tesla adapter (sold separately).

Its universal compatibility makes the Raylix charger perfect for households with multiple EV brands or when hosting guests.

3. Adjustable Current + Delayed Charging: Smart Energy Management

Unlike many portable chargers that lock you into a fixed current, the Raylix offers adjustable settings:

• 16A Mode — Faster Level 2 charging (240V)
• 12A Mode — Automatically applied on 110V (safe household charging)

This protects older home wiring and gives you flexibility based on the outlet you’re using.

The charger includes:

• A 21 ft charging cable
• Lightweight construction
• A portable holder to keep the unit off the ground

It is ideal for travel, work, or as a reliable backup charger in your EV emergency kit.

Safety is a critical aspect of any EV charger, and Raylix includes robust protections:

• Overvoltage protection
• Overcurrent protection
• Overheating protection
• Short-circuit protection

It is also certified by FCC and CE, features a UL94V-0 fire-resistant casing, and carries an IP66 waterproof / dustproof rating.
