Accell AxFAST Portable Level 2 Electric Vehicle Charger

My 2013 Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid has a relatively small 7.6 kilowatt-hour battery. Because I take mostly short trips, the C-Max’s 20 miles of all-electric range—and access to a plug in my garage—means I only have to gas up about once a month. I thoroughly enjoy spacing out those refueling stops as much as possible.
When I bought the C-Max, I decided to use a good old-fashioned 110-volt wall outlet instead of buying a Level 2 home charging station. So it takes me about six or seven hours for a full charge. That works great most of the time. But petrol-guilt sometimes gets me when I have to pick up the kids or run multiple errands in a day. The 110-volt trickle charge means that I leave the house without enough juice for those errands and need (gasp) to stop at a gas station.
