DUEVOLT®, a U.S.-registered provider of electric vehicle charging solutions, has announced the launch of its new line of Level 1 and Level 2 portable EV chargers. The new products are available for both J1772-compatible vehicles and Tesla models using the NACS standard, providing a versatile and accessible charging option for use at home, work, or while traveling.
Key Highlights
- Dual-Voltage Charging: Supports both 120V (Level 1) and 240V (Level 2) power sources using interchangeable NEMA 5-15 and 14-50 plugs.
- Adjustable Power: Users can manually select charging current from 16A to 40A to match their vehicle and electrical circuit capacity.
- Rapid Charging Speed: Delivers up to 9.6kW of power, charging vehicles up to 6× faster than a standard Level 1 charger.
- Installation-Free: The portable design requires no hardwiring or professional installation, plugging directly into common household outlets.
- Certified Safety: Features a UL-listed plug and cable, is FCC-certified, and has a control box compliant with EN 62752 and IEC 61851 safety standards.
A Flexible Solution for Modern EV Owners
For many EV owners, the installation of a permanent, wall-mounted Level 2 charger can be a significant obstacle. The process may involve expensive electrical panel upgrades, complex rewiring, or the addition of dynamic load management systems. This challenge is especially pronounced for individuals living in apartments, renters, or those who travel frequently, as a permanent installation is often impractical.
DUEVOLT’s portable chargers directly address this issue by providing a powerful plug-and-play alternative. By eliminating the need for hardwiring, these chargers offer an accessible and convenient way to achieve Level 2 charging speeds from a common 240V outlet, such as those used for electric dryers or RVs.
Advanced Features and Protections
Both the J1772 and Tesla models share a core set of advanced features designed for safety and ease of use. The chargers offer adjustable current settings between 16 and 40 amps, allowing users to fine-tune the power draw. A clear LED current-level indicator provides a visual confirmation of the selected amperage.
Built for durability and convenience, each charger is compact, lightweight, and includes a 16 ft cable for flexible use in a garage or outdoors. The unit is IP54-rated for weather resistance against dust and water splashes. Furthermore, comprehensive safety protections are built-in to safeguard against over-voltage, over-current, overheating, leakage, and short circuits.
Models and Compatibility
DUEVOLT® offers two distinct models to ensure broad compatibility across the EV market.
J1772 Portable EV Charger
This model features the standard SAE J1772 connector, making it universally compatible with a wide range of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids from brands like Ford, Hyundai, Nissan, Kia, Toyota, and Jeep. It can also be used with Tesla vehicles when paired with a J1772 to Tesla adapter.
Tesla Portable EV Charger
Designed specifically for Tesla owners, this charger comes equipped with a native NACS connector, eliminating the need for an adapter for Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles. It can also charge J1772-compatible EVs when used with a Tesla to J1772 adapter.
DUEVOLT® is focused on delivering safe, practical, and user-friendly charging products for diverse environments. The company’s portfolio includes portable chargers, wall-mounted stations, adapters, and extension cables. For more information, visit https://www.duevolt.com/.
