I generally have to park my car in the garage, so I can't speak to how well the J+ Booster works in extreme weather conditions. However, 10 months ago, I had to leave my car parked on the street during a blizzard. I was concerned that the J+ Booster wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand, but it worked like a charm. My car was fully charged when I returned to it the next day.

I was so excited to get my new J+ Booster 40 Amp electric car charger. I had read all the great reviews and knew that it would be perfect for my Model Y. Unfortunately, I've had some difficulties with it. The lead is too short, so I haven't been able to use it as much as I'd like. Otherwise, it's been working well for me. I'm hoping that the company will come out with an updated version soon!
