ApexCharger Mach 2 HW48
ApexCharger Mach 2 HW48 is a Level 2 home EV charger from ApexCharger with up to 48 A (11.52 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 30 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
On paper the Mach 2 gives up ground to its own stablemate: it shares the Mach 1’s excellent 30 ft cable — longer than 97 percent of the 91 certified 48 A models we index — but idles at 5.84 W where the Mach 1 draws 2.21 W, putting it in the top tenth of the class for standby, around 51 kWh a year. Charging is identical: 11.5 kW on a 60 A circuit, roughly 41 miles of range per hour, with networking on board. Unless something off the spec sheet separates them, cross-shop the two before buying.
- Best for: The same class-leading 30 ft reach as the Mach 1.
- Trade-off: Idles at nearly triple its sibling’s standby draw.
