Reasons to buy

Fast 40A Level 2 charging: The charger delivers up to 9.6kW of charging power, providing approximately 32 miles of range per hour and charging up to seven times faster than a standard Level 1 charger.

Smart app controls: The WiFi-enabled app allows users to schedule charging sessions, monitor charging status, track electricity consumption, and adjust amperage remotely.

Simple plug-and-play installation: The charger uses a NEMA 14-50 plug, allowing homeowners with an existing outlet to get started without complicated wiring or expensive installations.

Extra-long 25-foot cable: The charger provides excellent flexibility when parking, making it easier to reach charging ports regardless of vehicle position.

Reasons to avoid

Requires a 50A dedicated circuit: To achieve the full 40A charging output, users need a properly installed 50-amp circuit, which may require an electrician if one isn't already available.

Tesla adapter sold separately: Tesla owners will need to purchase a J1772-to-NACS adapter before using the charger.

WiFi limited to 2.4GHz networks: The smart features require a 2.4GHz WiFi connection, which may create setup issues for users relying solely on 5GHz networks.
