Hi everyone!

I wanted to start a thread about portable EV chargers. I’m thinking of buying one myself, but with so many brands and models out there, with different power ratings (3.5–7 kW+), Type 2 connectors, smart features with apps and all sorts of extras, it's hard to know where to start.
Which brands or models have you personally used and liked?
Based on your real-world experience, which portable charger would you recommend?
Are there any features that really make a difference for everyday use?
Thanks in advance!
