AUTEL Maxi UF38C001
AUTEL Maxi UF38C001 is a Level 2 home EV charger from AUTEL with up to 160 A (38.4 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 23 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
No passenger EV in our 29-car list can accept even a fraction of this unit’s 38.4 kW — onboard AC chargers top out far lower — which tells you the intended buyer: fleets and commercial sites charging vehicles built for high-power AC. The certified numbers are outsized across the board: 160 A output, a 200 A minimum circuit, and a theoretical 136 miles of range per hour for a median-efficiency car. Within its four-model 160 A cohort it is the lightest idler at 4.03 W standby (about 35 kWh a year), networked like most of its class, though the 23-foot cable is the group’s shortest against a 25-foot median.
- Best for: Commercial and fleet sites serving vehicles that actually take high-power AC.
- Trade-off: None of the 29 consumer EVs we track can use a meaningful share of its output.

EV compatibility
The AUTEL Maxi UF38C001's J1772 connector plugs directly into 23 of the 29 EVs tracked in this database. The other 6 (Hyundai Ioniq 5, Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model Y) work with it too — requires a J1772-to-NACS adapter (Tesla includes one with its vehicles).
