Best Compact Portable EVSE
The mobile BMW charger is huge and fills most of the under floor compartment. So, I have one of my shopping to-dos to find a much more compact EVSE to keep in the car. Pictor mentioned the J+ Booster 2 Portable EV Charger in another thread, so that prompted me to start my search.
What are everyone's favorite compact EVSE to keep in the car for emergency use?

I thought about that but right now I am able to store all of following below my iX’s “trunk floor”:
Both BMW’s provided charger adapters and charging cable; my good sized Tesla Tap’ a 10” x10”x12” enclosed detail bag filled with only clean microfibers; safety vest; portable 12V tire pump; about ten small hands tools; tire PSI gauge; 17mm socket and special adapter for my locking lug nuts; 4 metal BMW jacking pucks; a large towel and also in case I have get out onto wet ground a very large vinyl lawn “bag,”; safety triangle; the BMW provided tire mobility kit (both pieces though I left out the styrofoam holder for it wastes a good amount of space; and lastly a detail bag which contains 16 oz containers of windshield washer bug spray cleaner, same size Adams ceramic Graphene detailer spray container, and two 8 oz other detailing spray bottles. With all that under the floor and still a few inches of room left to put more things later I might think of, I am not needing to buy a smaller portable charger. |

Tesla mobile connector (https://shop.tesla.com/product/mobile-connector) is one of the most compact portable EVSEs that I’ve seen. It does require a separate Tesla to J1772 adapter but even with the added cost of the adapter it is much cheaper than that J+ Booster 2 Portable EV Charger and it also has level 1 support unlike the J+ Booster one.

Maybe start selling a “package” to make ordering everything very simple. |
