Charger fault

The question is more like "do you really trust the QC of the nameless EVSE sold on Ebay?" I can't remember the thread, but I remember reading somewhere that the Toyota OEM L1 EVSE's limit number is astronomically high. It would take hundreds of years of continuous daily use to reach the limit. Will it shout down when that limit number is reached? I don't know, but most likely you don't even have the car to use the EVSE by then. Now for the nameless EVSE sold on Ebay, speculating from your experience, that limit number maybe... only a few dozens?

 

The number is north of 40,000 cycles.

So a difficult number to achieve for one residential cord.

Each component has a finite life, which in the case of the Toyota cord seems like it was well built.

 

Company claims UL listing, but the warranty terms are so long I didn’t read through it all:

Sadly it seems the product beyond 30 days is sold “as is”.
