Effective high-end charger with capable app
The Pulsar Plus is a capable high-end charger with a useful app. Installation requires an electrician for the 220V outlet, but mounting the unit is quick. The included holster can loosen over time due to the heavy cable, so sturdier anchors are recommended. The app tracks charging sessions and electricity costs. LED lights help in a dark garage. A pre-installation support issue was resolved after several emails and calls. The charger is rugged, compact, and priced comparably to others in its range.
Pros
- + capable app with session tracking and cost input
- + rugged build and compact wall footprint
- + bright LEDs for dark garages
- + priced on par with competitors
Cons
- − holster can come loose with heavy cable
- − pre-installation support glitch required multiple contacts
