Specifications
| Charging | |
|---|---|
Output powerwhat this means: Output powerThe maximum power the charger delivers. Higher power means a faster charge. This figure is the unit's own amperage times its supply voltage, which is what power means on a single phase AC circuit, so it can read slightly below a maker's marketing figure: a 40 amp charger on 240 volts is 9.6 kW even where the box says 10. | 11.52 kW |
Max output currentwhat this means: Max output currentThe maximum current the unit draws. It sets the circuit breaker and wire size the install needs. | 48 A |
Charger levelwhat this means: Charger levelThe EVSE class. Level 2 runs on a 240 volt circuit; Level 1 uses a standard 120 volt outlet. | Level 2 |
Charging outputswhat this means: Charging outputsHow many vehicles the unit can connect to at once. Most home units have one. | 1 |
Connectivitywhat this means: ConnectivityHow the charger connects for app control, scheduling, and firmware updates, or whether it runs offline only. | Cellular |
Extra featureswhat this means: Extra featuresAdditional hardware the model ships with, such as a display, an RFID reader, or a card reader. | PLC Board (ISO 15118), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) |
Idle power drawwhat this means: Idle power drawPower the unit draws while plugged in but not charging. Lower means less standby waste. | 3.5 W |
| Installation | |
Form factorwhat this means: Form factorPortable units are cord sets that plug into an outlet and can travel in the car. Wall-mounted units install in one place, hardwired or on a dedicated outlet. | Wall-mounted |
Input voltagewhat this means: Input voltageThe supply voltage the unit runs on. Level 2 home chargers use 240 volts. | 240 V |
| Cable and connector | |
Cable lengthwhat this means: Cable lengthLength of the attached charging cable. A longer cable reaches across a driveway or to a second parking spot. | 25 ft |
Cable gaugewhat this means: Cable gaugeAmerican Wire Gauge of the charging cable. A lower number is a thicker conductor. | 16 AWG |
| Identity and provenance | |
Model numberwhat this means: Model numberThe manufacturer model number, useful for cross checking listings and permits. In some model numbers, x and # stand for variant positions such as color or cable length options. | 8EM1317-5CG14-1GA2 |
Manufacturerwhat this means: ManufacturerThe ENERGY STAR partner that makes or private labels this model, which can differ from the brand name. | Heliox Technology Inc |
Sold inwhat this means: Sold inCountries where the model is certified for sale. | United States, Canada |
On the market sincewhat this means: On the market sinceWhen the model became available for purchase. | July 2024 |
Practical numbers
- Minimum circuit breaker
- 60 A; the electrical code sizes circuits at 125 percent of a continuous load like EV charging
- Full charge, 75 kWh battery
- 6.5 hours if the vehicle accepts 11.52 kW AC; many cap at 9.6 to 11.5 kW
- Full charge, 60 kWh battery
- 5.2 hours if the vehicle accepts 11.52 kW AC; many cap at 9.6 to 11.5 kW
- Cost per full charge (same for any Level 2 unit)
- Not computed: this site does not yet carry Canadian electricity rates. The figure depends on your rate, not on the charger.
- Standby electricity cost
- Not computed: this site does not yet carry Canadian electricity rates. The figure depends on your rate, not on the charger.
A charger is a continuous load, so code sizes its circuit at 125 percent of the charger's rating: that breaker figure is the minimum, not a suggestion. On an older panel the wire run and any service upgrade can cost more than the charger itself, so price the electrical work before settling on an amperage. How big a charger actually finishes the job (US vehicle data).
Measured against the rest of the 41 to 48 A class, this model sits mid-range on output power, max output current, and cable length: nothing here is a high or a low worth calling out.
