Wish it was this easy without buying an adaptor

I bought the newer xbone controller because I thought the Bluetooth improvement would also mean it connects to Windows (7) easier, but this was not the case.

Well made but not user friendly for the ac adapter and cord storage

I bought this after researching many of the popular EV charger models. I was impressed with all the positive reviews, Siemens warranty and reliability, and the price. I figured that since my breaker box is located on a garage wall next to my EV, I could have the electrician install the dryer plug directly below the box and not have to drill through studs or run conduit. This really cut down on the installation time and cost. It took just 18 minutes for the electrician to wire the plug and install the charger. I am embarrassed that I didn't have the confidence to do it myself. I've worked with 120, but never at the box with 240 and that spooked me a bit. I had him install the 240 plug sideways so the charger plug would easily reach and not be kinked. The charger is hung on the stud to the left of my breaker box. The picture shows how it is oriented. If your set-up is like mine (in the picture)

It is a very easy install.
- Remove breaker box front panel
- Snap in new 40 Amp breaker (make sure it is in OFF position)
- Cut hole for dryer plug box and receptacle just below the breaker box
- Place junction box in hole and attach to the adjacent stud
- Attached two wires to the new breaker along with a copper ground wire to the ground bar
- Pop out one of the circular plugs in the bottom of the breaker box
- Snake the three wires (two attached to new breaker and the copper ground) through the hole and wall and into the junction box.
- Attach the three wires to the dryer plug
- Screw the plug into the box and make sure it is oriented sideways if your install is like mine.
- Put on the plug faceplate.
- Mount charger bracket on the stud to the left of the breaker box. Make sure it is positioned so that the cord will reach the plug.
- Hang charger on bracket and install securing screw.
- Flip new breaker to ON and plug in charger to dryer receptacle.
Piece of cake.

I guess i dint realize i needed an adapter to connect this to my power source. I was planning to go to the battery

1st impression: seriously, for this much money they couldn't throw in a 2 amp AC adapter so I don't have to fool around looking for one before I can even charge it up?

was missing the adapter part and was a pain to find in the local stores. Not easy to connect to a pope without the adapter and wish it had a couple options on how fast the water runs as well.

These actually have a hole for you to put the 12 gauge wire in! This make it very easy! All you have to do is strip the wire at a standard length, stick it in the hole, and tighten down the screw. At first I was going to try and wrap the wire around the screw as I normally due and ended up taking the screw completely out. That was a mistake as the screw is hard to get back in once you do that, but in their defense it is devised to make it difficult to take the screw out. I should have took the hint when I was having a hard time with it.

A tad noisier than some other types of switches. As always I wish the grounding screw could hold more.

Works okay but not as nice as I would like for the in/out connections - inclusion of parts I don't need seem wasteful

Very convenient. Comes with a clear plastic cover, and fuse terminals installed in the fuse block. You will need to use spade terminals to attach your wiring to the fuse block.

I bought this specifically so that i could mount it flush to a panel. I would make two changes, but both of these are fairly small:

- The terminals on the back of the connector are recessed deep enough in the housing that soldering to them would be very difficult
- Neither side of the fuse block is bused. This would have saved me from having to make a massive 8:1 junction between this block and my power source

Great gage, nicer if it came with some common adapters.

Hard to find 2 prong plug adapters. I'm in an old house and many of the outlets have 2 slots only. Now I am able to use them instead of rewiring.

I had innocently believed that modern cars were pre wired with a connector to allow a simple 'plug and play' arrangement for trailer harness wiring. This seemed like a great improvement from the old days of forcing pins into the rear wiring harness. Alas, things are not so simple. The car manual doesn't direct you to any 'trailer wiring adapter' socket because none exists. You need to remove the inside body molding to access the connectors to the rear lights and then place an intermediary connector on both passenger and driver's side. If you have removed plastic vehicle molding before this is not a big deal but if it is your first time it can be intimidating. The bigger issue is that a DC wire has to be run from the battery to the module that feeds the wiring harness. It is tempting to use the cigarette lighter outlet if one exists in the back but the fuse and wire size will likely not be adequate. So you need to connect the supplied cable to the battery and run it under the car and into the rear area somewhere. The instructions with the packet are clear and everything you need is included, but things are far more involved than I had anticipated. For somebody who works a lot on cars, no big deal, but for someone expecting 'plug and play', watch out.

better than start capacitor and relay, no connecting wires

i wanted to reduce the wires ...
not practical as it requires another wire  to attach to wall outlet

I did not need solderless connections but hoped I could solder anyways. Turns out that would be somewhat difficult without ruining the connector. I wound up using an inexpensive range extender instead. That seems to work OK.

Thought this would work but didn't gonna have to go to dealer ship

Far easier than i expected! I carefully marked the existing connections for all 7 of my relays so I could connect them to the right place on the new control panel. The only "gotcha" was that the location of the connectors for the relays was different from the original. As a result, one of the wires was too short to connect to the same aux port. I just swapped that relay wire with another and problem solved. Also note that the new temperature sensor (included in the upgrade kit) is a bit wider than the old one. Bring a drill with the appropirate bit to the equipment pad to make the hole in PVC pipe a little larger.

I wish I had done this years ago!

BTW, I installed the ScreenLogic wireless controller at the same time. Also easy.
