Level 2 EV Charger for Tesla with 7.68kW, 32A, NACS and 23ft Cable (Black)
Product description
What it is and the problem it solves
This is a portable Level 2 EV charger designed to work with North American charging standards. It plugs into a NEMA 14-50 receptacle and delivers up to 7.68 kW of charging power at 240V. If you’re tired of slow Level 1 charging, this unit promises faster top-ups and the flexibility to charge at home or on the go.
How it’s built for real-world use
The charger offers adjustable charging currents from 10A to 32A, so you can dial in the right speed for your home circuit and avoid overloading the panel. A built-in delay timer helps shift charging to off-peak periods, which can help manage energy costs. The 23-foot cable adds reach, making it easier to park and plug in without moving the car.
What stands out in daily use
A 1.77" TFT display shows real-time data such as amperage, voltage, power (kW), charging time, and status. LED indicators give at-a-glance feedback about whether the charger is active or finished. The design prioritizes clarity and quick checks while you’re plugged in.
Pros and realistic trade-offs
On the upside, you get relatively fast Level 2 charging at home, portable flexibility, and a robust indicator system. The inclusion of a carry bag and holder suggests a focus on portability and ease of storage. A potential limitation is that it’s designed around the NACS standard, non-NACS vehicles would require an adapter, which may add to the setup considerations.
Who it’s for
This charger is a solid option if you own a Tesla or any EV using NACS and you want a portable, home-ready Level 2 charger with a long cable for flexible parking. It’s particularly useful for renters or those who want backup charging at different locations without committing to a fixed wall unit.
Who might want to skip it
If you don’t have a NACS-compatible vehicle or you need a permanently installed wall charger, this portable model may not be the best fit. If your electrical panel is already at or near capacity and you can’t accommodate higher current draw, the adjustable 10–32A range helps, but you’ll still need suitable circuit support.
Before you buy: what to check
- Confirm your NEMA 14-50 outlet is accessible where you park and that the circuit is rated for the current you plan to use.
- Consider the climate and outdoor exposure, the IP66 rating means solid protection against dust and heavy water exposure, but verify if mounting and storage conditions match your environment.
- If you intend to use it with non-NACS vehicles, plan for an adapter solution if needed.
How this compares to other approaches
If you want a cheaper, fixed-cable option, a basic Level 1 charger or a cheaper Level 2 wall unit might be appealing—but you’d lose portability and the long cable reach. For those who prioritize flexibility and the ability to charge in multiple locations, this model sits between a fixed home charger and a full-blown commercial charger, offering a portable middle ground with substantial power for everyday EV needs.
Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you value portability, a longer cable, and a reasonably quick Level 2 charge for home or on-the-go scenarios, especially with a NACS-compatible vehicle. It may not be ideal if you require a permanently installed, space-saving solution or if you primarily drive vehicles outside the NACS ecosystem.
FAQ
- How does the adjustable current work? You can select 10A, 16A, 20A, 24A, or 32A to match your home circuit and reduce peak load.
- What does the delay time do? It shifts charging to off-peak periods, potentially lowering energy costs.
- Can this charger be used indoors and outdoors? With IP66 protection, it’s built for rugged environments, but always follow manufacturer guidance for storage and mounting in your specific setup.
