If you want reliable cheap chargers you are best to go for one of the Elcon/Tiechen chargers. I have had one in my Elise for years and they are generally faultless. Don't look inside though as they are not built to Brusa standards. On Fri, 30/1/15, Jay

Wow that's a pretty good looking unit for a good price. When I converted my truck from lead-acid to lithium (and a new charger) I also put in a J-1772 and I'm happy I did. The J-1772 signal processing is handled by a ModularEV AVC2 which is inexpensive and has performed flawlessly. Having that

Building the EMW charger is certainly not for everyone, though I built one sometime ago and it has worked flawlessly for well over one year and 200 charges now. Not one problem during that time (I had some during the build, but mostly self-inflicted). It charges to the max V, transitions to CV,
