WenStorm J1772 Home EV Charging Kit

The biggest obstacle to charging an EV at home is often not finding an outlet—it is having a suitable outlet close enough to the vehicle. The WenStorm J1772 Level 1 Home EV Charging Kit combines a 25 ft portable charger with a 21 ft J1772 extension cable, providing approximately 50 ft of total charging reach from a compatible 120V household outlet.

Designed for homeowners who do not have a 240V outlet or permanent wall charger, this bundle provides a practical solution for overnight charging in garages and driveways when the outlet and vehicle are farther apart.

Home Charging Without a Wall Charger

Plug the portable charger directly into a compatible, properly grounded NEMA 5-15 outlet for Level 1 charging. No permanent wall-mounted charging station is required.

Up to 50 FT of Total Charging Reach

The portable charger includes a 25 ft cable, while the included J1772 extension adds another 21 ft. The additional reach can help connect a garage outlet to a vehicle parked in the driveway or reach a charging port located on the opposite side of the car.

A Complete Reach Solution

Buying the charger alone may not solve the problem if your outlet is too far from your parking position. This kit includes both the charger and the correctly rated vehicle-side extension cable, so you do not need to use an ordinary household extension cord.

For the Round J1772 Charging Port

Designed for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids with the larger, round five-pin J1772 charging inlet, including many vehicles from Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, and other manufacturers. Charging ports can vary by model and model year, so compare your vehicle’s inlet with the product photos before ordering.

Designed for Overnight Charging

Level 1 charging typically adds approximately 2–5 miles of range per hour. It is best suited for plug-in hybrids, shorter daily commutes, overnight top-ups, and backup home charging when 240V charging is unavailable. Actual charging speed depends on the vehicle, battery temperature, outlet condition, and available circuit capacity. The 2–5-mile estimate is consistent with U.S. Department of Energy guidance.

Purpose-Built J1772 Extension Cable

The included 21 ft extension connects between the J1772 charging handle and the vehicle. It is not a wall-outlet extension cord. Keep connections fully inserted and route the cable away from doors, standing water, vehicle tires, and pedestrian walkways.

Safety Monitoring and Weather Resistance

The portable charger is ETL Listed and includes temperature monitoring designed to reduce or stop charging if unusual heat is detected. Its IP55-rated construction supports indoor and outdoor charging when the charger and connections are kept away from standing water.

Use a Suitable Electrical Circuit

Connect only to a properly installed, grounded outlet on a circuit suitable for continuous EV charging. Stop using the outlet if the plug becomes loose, unusually warm, discolored, or damaged. Have the outlet inspected by a qualified electrician if you are uncertain about its condition or circuit capacity.
