Debating between the 2 EVSE's.
I was planning on buying a Clipper Creek LCS-20 but just found that Home Depot is running a $100 off discount on the Schneider EV230WS 30AMP EVSE this month which, with sales tax, makes it $540.17 with free shipping (the LCS-20 is $408.50 with shipping).
I have 3 years on my new Ford Fusion Energi lease which, like the Volt, has a 3.3Kw charger so the LCS-20 should be sufficient for the term of that lease and it's 3 year warranty will cover me for that duration as well. The Schneider unit gives me some future proofing but only 18 months warranty for about $131 more.
I only hear great reviews of the LCS series EVSE's from users here, does anyone have experience with the Schneider one?
FYI: I already have a dedicated 30AMP circuit and NEMA 14-30 outlet that my homebuilder installed when they built the house, so for either one I'll be adding a 14-30 plug - knowing that if I did upgrade to a car with a bigger charger, I'd have to upgrade that circuit to 40A and running lower gauge wire. (really wishing I had specified 40A now)
