Auxus UCS-Z21-48S-FT

Auxus UCS-Z21-48S-FT is a Level 2 home EV charger from Auxus with up to 48 A (11.52 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 40 ft cable, networked smart charging.

Our take

The strongest spec sheet of Auxus’s three 40 ft-cable entries: class-maximum reach — no certified 48 A charger we index ships longer — combined with a 2.21 W idle draw in the most efficient quarter of the 91-unit cohort. It is networked like 88 percent of its class, delivers 11.5 kW on a 60 A circuit for about 41 miles of range per hour, and carries the standard 48 A caveat that only 3 of the 29 EVs in our list accept the full rate. Between this and the near-identical DP variant, the numbers barely separate them — pick on price.
