Schumacher SEV1670
Schumacher SEV1670 is a Level 1 home EV charger from Schumacher with up to 16 A (1.92 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 20 ft cable, non-networked operation.
Our take
Certified standby of 0.69 W is less than half the 1.51 W median of its two-model class — about 6 kWh a year, a rounding error on any electric bill. The charging side matches its networked rival exactly: 1.92 kW from 120 V, roughly 7 miles of range per hour, full rate usable by every one of the 29 EVs we track, minimum 20 A circuit. What you give up is connectivity and five feet of cable — 20 feet here versus 25 on the Revvit. For a set-and-forget overnight charger, that is a defensible trade.
- Best for: Set-and-forget overnight 120 V charging with minimal idle draw.
- Trade-off: No Wi-Fi, and its 20-foot cable gives up five feet to its direct rival.
