What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes the input range as 110-240V and maximum output as 3.8kW, while separate detail fields give 240 volts and 3840 watts. Treat these as listing claims rather than independently verified output. Confirm the outlet, circuit capacity, vehicle limit, and appropriate plug setup before use. The screen is specified to sleep during charging, and the listing's connection-type field says J1772 Type 1, which is a connector description rather than evidence of wireless connectivity. The listing also describes the enclosure material ambiguously as metal or high-quality plastic.

Aggregate ratings are generally favorable but include a notable low-star portion. With a limited rating sample and no written feedback supplied, they do not establish specific strengths or faults. Buyers should base fit on the listed 16A limit, J1772 connector, plug options, and their own vehicle and circuit requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Which vehicle connector does this charger use?

The listing specifies a SAE J1772 connector and claims compatibility with J1772 electric vehicles. Confirm that your vehicle uses this connector.

Can it be used for both Level 1 and Level 2 charging?

The listing identifies a NEMA 5-15P plug for Level 1 and a NEMA 6-20P plug for Level 2. Confirm your available outlet and circuit are suitable for the selected setup.

What charging current and power does it list?

The detailed specifications state a maximum of 16A and 3.8kW. Charging current may be lower if the circuit or vehicle supports less.

Does the screen stay on while charging?

No. The listing says the LCD enters sleep mode during active charging. A button tap wakes it to show session information.
