Level 2 EV Charger 40A

Key specifications

A 25-foot charging cable gives this hardwired Level 2 EV charger room to reach a vehicle parked farther from the electrical connection. That extra reach can make a garage or driveway setup easier to work with.

The charger is rated for 40A output, 240V, and up to 9.6kW. It uses a J1772 connector and connects to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for app-based charging status and scheduling. An RFID card is included for access control. The enclosure is described as IP66-rated for dust and water protection, and the unit is intended for indoor or outdoor installation.

Installation is hardwired, not a plug-in setup. A qualified electrician is recommended, so plan for professional installation rather than treating this as a charger you can simply connect to a standard outlet. The product details also list protections for over-voltage, over-current, overheating, leakage, and short circuits.

Who it’s for

This setup is aimed at EV owners who charge at home and want a faster alternative to a standard Level 1 charger, along with scheduling and app-based monitoring. For example, you could connect the car after getting home, check charging progress in the app, and set a session for later instead of managing each charge manually. RFID access may also be useful where a charger is accessible to other people.

It makes sense if your vehicle uses a J1772 charging port and you have a suitable location for a hardwired unit. The connector is described as compatible with most J1772 EVs and plug-in hybrids. Tesla owners need a J1772-to-Tesla adapter, which is sold separately. You may want to skip it if you need a charger that plugs into an existing outlet or your vehicle requires a different connector and you do not have an adapter.

Everyday use

The 25-foot cable is the practical standout for parking layouts where the car cannot sit right beside the charger. That can help when the charging unit is mounted on a garage wall and the vehicle parks outside, or when the charge port is not on the side nearest the wall. The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection supports app controls and scheduled charging, while the RFID card adds a way to restrict access beyond app management.

There are tradeoffs to weigh. Hardwiring makes installation less straightforward than choosing a plug-in charger, and Wi-Fi features depend on having a compatible 2.4GHz network where the unit is installed. The listed J1772 compatibility is broad, but it is not universal without an adapter, check your vehicle’s charging port before buying. The maker’s listed IP66 rating supports outdoor use, but the supplied details do not explain mounting requirements or the installation process.

Questions before you buy

Does it work with a Tesla? The listed connector is J1772. Tesla owners can use it with a J1772-to-Tesla adapter, sold separately.

Can it be plugged into a wall outlet? The charger is described as hardwired, so it is not presented as a plug-in model. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.

Can charging be scheduled in the app? Yes. The listed app features include charging status, real-time progress, and scheduled sessions. The charger connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

Final verdict

Choose this 40A Level 2 charger if you want a hardwired home setup with a long cable, J1772 connection, and app scheduling rather than a basic outlet-based approach. Its stated 9.6kW output and access controls address everyday home charging needs, but the electrician requirement and separate Tesla adapter matter to the buying decision. It is a less suitable fit if you need a plug-in charger, lack 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for the smart features, or need a different connector without an adapter.
