Specifications

Charging
Output power
what this meansThe 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.
1.44 kW
Max output current
what this meansThe maximum current the unit draws. It sets the circuit breaker and wire size the install needs.
12 A
Charger level
what this meansThe EVSE class. Level 2 runs on a 240 volt circuit; Level 1 uses a standard 120 volt outlet.
Level 1
Charging outputs
what this meansHow many vehicles the unit can connect to at once. Most home units have one.
1
Installation
Form factor
what this meansPortable 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.
Portable
Power connection
what this meansHow the unit connects to supply power: a NEMA plug that fits a matching 240 volt outlet, or hardwired into the circuit by an electrician. Verified from manufacturer documentation, and left blank where it is not yet confirmed.
NEMA 5-15 plug
Enclosure rating
what this meansThe NEMA or IP rating of the housing, which tells you whether the unit is built for outdoor mounting. NEMA 4 and IP55 or higher handle rain and dust; NEMA 3R is rain-resistant. Verified from manufacturer documentation.
IP67
Input voltage
what this meansThe supply voltage the unit runs on. Level 2 home chargers use 240 volts.
120 V
Cable and connector
Cable length
what this meansLength of the attached charging cable. A longer cable reaches across a driveway or to a second parking spot.
16 ft
Connector
what this meansThe plug that connects to the vehicle. J1772 (also called Type 1) fits most non-Tesla EVs; NACS (the Tesla style plug, SAE J3400) is the emerging North American standard. Some models are sold in both, so you pick the version when you order. Verified from manufacturer specifications, and left blank where it is not yet confirmed.
J1772
Identity and provenance
Model number
what this meansThe 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.
LECHG5-15-12ABLKUS-APP
Warranty
what this meansThe manufacturer's stated warranty. Terms can differ by country. Some warranties require product registration or professional installation; the manufacturer's page has the conditions. Verified from manufacturer documentation.
2 years
Safety listing
what this meansIndependent safety certification for the unit. UL Listed and ETL Listed entries are confirmed against the public UL and Intertek directories where possible, otherwise against the manufacturer's own documentation. A blank means we have not verified a listing, not that none exists.
Certified to UL 2594 and UL 2231

Practical numbers

Minimum circuit breaker
15 A; the electrical code sizes circuits at 125 percent of a continuous load like EV charging
Full charge, 75 kWh battery
52.1 hours
Full charge, 60 kWh battery
41.7 hours
Cost per full charge (same for any Level 2 unit)
$15.49 at the national average residential rate (May 2026); your electricity rate decides this, not 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.
