Our take

Third of four Lectron 40 A entries in this database, certified with a J1772 connector like its siblings and nearly indistinguishable from the base model on paper: 0.85 W of standby against the sibling’s 0.83 W — both in the lowest tenth or so of the 56-model class — the same 16 ft cable that trails roughly 80% of the cohort, and the same offline design in a class that is 77% networked. Output is the standard 9.6 kW on a 50 A circuit, adding about 34 miles of range per hour, with 25 of our 29 tracked EVs at full rate.
