EvoCharge MAX80

EvoCharge MAX80 is a Level 2 home EV charger from EvoCharge with up to 82 A (0.17 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 25 ft cable, networked smart charging.

Our take

A cohort of one: at 82 A this is the only unit in its amp class in the database, sitting just above the sixty-five-strong 80 A field and requiring at least a 105 A circuit under the continuous-load rule. The certified output figures in its record read anomalously low, so we would verify the delivered rate with the manufacturer before sizing wiring around it. What is unambiguous: a 25-foot cable, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 5.98 W of standby, about 52 kWh a year.

EV compatibility

The EvoCharge MAX80'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).
