- Data snapshot
Methodology — every formula, and what this data cannot tell you.
Will your panel carry it?
Enter your service size and existing loads; the panel check returns the largest charger your
service supports and the breaker it needs — charger amps × 1.25,
rounded up, because the NEC treats charging as a continuous load.
Also: how circuit sizing works
Output power, connector type, cable length and metered standby draw, plus which EVs each charger actually works with. On top of the certification data we compute what the spec sheet leaves out: the real charge rate your car will accept, empty-to-full time, range per charging hour, and the breaker the National Electrical Code requires.

Lowest standby power draw
What the unit burns with no car attached, measured under the ENERGY STAR test procedure. A 3 W difference is about 26 kWh a year.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lite-On Technology Corp Charging Station | 0.1 W | 19.2 kW | 23 ft |
| 2 | Tesla Mobile Connector | 0.43 W | 7.68 kW | 19 ft |
| 3 | Schumacher SEV1670 | 0.69 W | 1.92 kW | 20 ft |
| 4 | TOPBAND TB-AC240US | 0.72 W | 9.6 kW | 17 ft |
| 5 | Pando Electric Pando 001 Smart Outlet | 0.75 W | 9.6 kW | — |
| 6 | Grizzl-E Classic | 0.8 W | 9.6 kW | 24 ft |
| 7 | EVFastCharge / MOTEN EVFC MTL-AC-EV48 | 0.83 W | 11.52 kW | 25 ft |
| 8 | Lectron LECHG14-50-40ABLKUS | 0.83 W | 9.6 kW | 16 ft |
Standby draw is a certified test figure, not a field measurement — see the standby power cost guide for what it means on a bill.
