Portable EV Chargers

Choose Level 1 for charging from a suitable 120V household outlet or Level 2 for faster charging from a properly rated 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet. Both WenStorm chargers feature a 25-ft cable, J1772 or NACS options, and no bulky inline control box.

J1772 or NACS: Which Connector Fits Your EV?

Both chargers are offered with a J1772 connector or a Tesla/NACS connector — the plug that goes into the car. Choose J1772 for most non-Tesla EVs (Ford, Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, Rivian, and more). Choose NACS for Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y, and Cybertruck, and for any newer EV that ships with the NACS inlet from the factory.

No Bulky Inline Control Box. Just Plug and Charge.

Most portable EVSEs hang a heavy electronics brick from the outlet, putting shear load on the receptacle every time you charge. WenStorm moves that electronics module into the connector handle on the vehicle end, so the weight sits on the car’s inlet, not on the wall. The result: a 25-ft cable that coils cleanly into a storage bag, no app or Bluetooth pairing, and no battery pack to charge separately. Plug it in — it starts.

Both the Level 1 and the Level 2 units share the same in-handle design, the same 25-ft cable length, and the same J1772 and NACS connector choices.

Portable EV Charger Questions

Can I plug the Level 2 charger into my dryer outlet?

Not without checking the receptacle. Most residential dryer outlets are NEMA 14-30 (30A), while the Level 2 portable charger uses a NEMA 14-50 plug for 50A circuits. Confirm your receptacle is a NEMA 14-50 on a properly rated and protected circuit before use. If you have any doubt, have a licensed electrician verify or install one.

How much faster is Level 2 than Level 1?

On the WenStorm units, Level 1 adds about 3–4 miles of range per hour at 12A from a 120V outlet. Level 2 adds roughly 30 miles of range per hour at 32A from a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet — several times faster. Exact rates depend on your vehicle and ambient conditions.

Do I need an electrician?

No electrician is required for Level 1 — it plugs into a standard 120V household outlet. For Level 2 you need an existing NEMA 14-50 outlet on an appropriately rated circuit. If you don’t have one, a licensed electrician can install one. The portable charger itself is a plug-in device, not a hardwired install.

Do I need an app to use the charger?

No. There is no app, no Wi-Fi pairing, and no account setup. The electronics live inside the connector handle. Plug in the wall side, plug the connector into your car, and the session starts automatically.

Can I use the same charger with my Tesla and my friend’s non-Tesla EV?

Each charger is sold with either a J1772 connector or a NACS connector — you choose on the product page. If you drive a Tesla and want to charge a non-Tesla EV with the same unit, pair a NACS charger with a NACS-to-J1772 adapter (or vice versa). See the compatibility hub for the specific adapter per vehicle.

What is the Level 1 charger's verified continuous current rating?

The hardware is rated higher than Level 1 draw targets, but a standard 15A household outlet (NEMA 5-15) is intended for continuous loads up to 12 amps. We publish 12A on a 15A circuit as the verified continuous rating. Any higher current configuration requires engineering sign-off and the appropriate receptacle and circuit — do not assume a 20A circuit alone qualifies.
