I know this has been addressed in other threads: how to charge to a certain level then cutoff (OK, you can buy an SR/F, but that's out of my budget).  I've used this for a few weeks and have had no problems. It works as advertised. 15 amps. I'm always forgetting to unplug my Zero before bedtime ... if you get this you need to d/l an app to your phone. It works well. I'm sure there are many similar solutions out there. (disclaimer: I have no monetary or other business interest in the product or in Amazon.)

I would be VERY careful using this on an SR.
I have used Kill A Watts and various other similar
units for EV Charging over the years. All of which had
less draw than the SR. Even the heaviest duty Kill A Watts
I have tried would burn out. My SR has had the charger
replaced several times. Out of warranty now so being
EXTREMELY careful these days. I presently use a
Timer from ( Tools you use ONCE ) Harbor Freight
to charge my Volt at 8 amps and my FX at 5~6 amps
Any time I charge the SR now, I use a 20 amp circuit
or 240 Volt Or the External Quiq charger at 1KW
Keep an eye on the sockets for heat related issues.
I am using a cable the I put together Heavier duty
than stock with very little heat while charging
MUCH less than stock Zero cable.

I use about 10 foot total length of 12 or 10 AWG rather than the 14AWG that Zero uses.
Could just get 10AWG and put proper ends on but, I have more than one use for mine

I've burnt out a couple of Kill-a-Watt units myself.  Switched to the Wireless model, which has more robust contacts; added a WiFi enabled switch, which ccan be programmed to turn on/off at certain times or for certain durations.  Good for starting a charge when off-peak TOU rates apply, e.g. @11:00PM!
