electric car tire pumps - has to be bog enough

That one overheated and wore out, as well
I upgraded again. The third, that I have now, is pretty good. It does not overheat. It goes quick enough.
So, that is my suggestion: you get one, and keep receipt. When it fails, you do a return, and ask to get the next bigger one, and upgrade until you get to the size that does not burn out trying to get a set of four care tires from 25psi to 35psi.
