Customer review from homedepot.caSorry you had that bad experience. The BR260 does have a 10-year warranty. However, we suggest using a BR260H for EV chargers. The H suffix indicates that the breaker is fully 240V rated, which means the breaker is more robust. If you have more questions or concerns, please call our technical support team at 877-386-2273 Opt. 2 Opt. 3 Opt. 1 and we would be happy to assist you.
