Since the Fisker deal didn't work out and Enel closing up shop, I would like find a reasonable charger. I stumbled upon the MUSTART charger and it looks like its the 'dumb' version of the wallbox - meaning, no bluetooth or internet required, and a 25ft cable, 40A. NEMA

Anyone played with one?

Sorry, not to disregard your question. But what's your logic about searching for another charger? Is there a specfic feature that you're looking for?

If it's price, I got myself a brand-new boxed Rivian Wall Charger off from facebook marketplace at $350 bucks (they were asking $400 for it). Wired and installed it myself and it's rock solid (and pretty) :)

25 feet and 40amps and a NEMA plug ;-). I have an Enel Jucebox 30A and if and when it dies (which does happen as this is a replacement) I'd like to have another charger ready to go. the fisker was a great deal for an excellent charger.

I need 25 feet as when I have the tent on top of my R1T rack I can't charge in my garage. I have to pull the Enel off the wall to do it which is a real pain in the butt.

My son has a Mustart 40 amp NEMA 14-50 that he got about 5 years ago to charge his Pacifica PHEV. He now uses it for an Equinox EV as well. I have charged my Rivian and my Bolt many times on it. A simple basic system that’s had a lot of use over 5 years and still works…

I have the Mustart travel master that we purchased to use with the MachE. We lived in military housing at the time and needed a charger to use with the dryer outlet. I like that you can purchase other connectors and that it automatically adjust to the current of the electrical outlet.

I haven’t used it in a long time since we moved and paid to have a 50 amp outlet installed in our house. We now have the Emporia charger, which has been awesome.

I own a mustart 40 amp charger. Two of them failed and were replaced by the manufacturer. Third one has worked well, though I don’t use it every day.

It makes me nervous given the issues I had with the first two. That said, it works when it works. YMMV.

Lots of complaints years ago from the Bolt EV crowd about the thing destroying their charging ports. So if you wanna save a buck, feel free
