The Fullwatt Level 2 EV Charger is a powerhouse designed for EV owners who want to move beyond the slow pace of Level 1 charging. Delivering up to 50 Amps of power, this station can charge your vehicle faster than a standard wall outlet.

The charger comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, RFID security, adjustable charging settings, and a durable weather-resistant design. With its 25-foot cable and broad vehicle compatibility, the Fullwatt Level 2 EV Charger offers a premium charging experience for both home garages and outdoor installations.

  2. Up to 12kW charging performance
  3. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth app control
  4. Adjustable current from 1A to 50A
  5. RFID access security
  6. Large 4.3-inch LCD display

Cons

One of the standout features of the Fullwatt Level 2 EV Charger is its impressive charging performance. It delivers up to 50 amps and 12kW of power through a hardwired connection and can charge compatible EVs up to nine times faster than a standard Level 1 charger, making it an excellent option for drivers who want shorter charging times.

The Fullwatt Level 2 EV Charger also offers adjustable current settings ranging from 1 amp to 50 amps. This flexibility allows users to match charging speeds with their home's electrical capacity while optimising energy consumption based on individual needs.

Another notable highlight is the smart charging features. Equipped with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the charger can be controlled through a smartphone app. Users can remotely start or stop charging sessions, adjust amperage settings, monitor power consumption, and schedule charging during off-peak electricity hours to reduce energy costs.

There's also a built-in 4.3-inch LCD display that provides detailed real-time information, including charging power, voltage, temperature, charging duration, and operating status. However, the LED status indicators make it easy to monitor charging progress and quickly identify any issues without needing to access the vehicle's display.

Security is also enhanced through the inclusion of RFID card access. The charger comes with two RFID cards that help prevent unauthorized charging, making it especially useful for shared garages, apartment complexes, or semi-public charging locations.

Another area where the charger excels is durability. Featuring an IP65-rated enclosure and a rugged 25-foot charging cable, it is designed to withstand both indoor and outdoor environments.

Notably, safety remains a top priority. The charger incorporates eight layers of protection, including safeguards against overvoltage, overheating, and other electrical faults.
