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.
11.52 kW
Max output current
what this meansThe maximum current the unit draws. It sets the circuit breaker and wire size the install needs.
48 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 2
Charging outputs
what this meansHow many vehicles the unit can connect to at once. Most home units have one.
1
Connectivity
what this meansHow the charger connects for app control, scheduling, and firmware updates, or whether it runs offline only.
Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet
Extra features
what this meansAdditional hardware the model ships with, such as a display, an RFID reader, or a card reader.
PLC Board (ISO 15118)
Idle power draw
what this meansPower the unit draws while plugged in but not charging. Lower means less standby waste.
6.4 W
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.
Wall-mounted
Input voltage
what this meansThe supply voltage the unit runs on. Level 2 home chargers use 240 volts.
240 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.
21 ft
Cable gauge
what this meansAmerican Wire Gauge of the charging cable. A lower number is a thicker conductor.

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)
$15.49 at the national average residential rate (May 2026); your electricity rate decides this, not the charger
Standby electricity cost
About $10.34 a year at the national average rate, drawn while the unit sits plugged in and not charging

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.
