Lectron LECHG5-15-15ABLKUS-APP
Lectron LECHG5-15-15ABLKUS-APP is a Level 1 home EV charger from Lectron with up to 15 A (1.8 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 16 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
Same Lectron hardware family as the non-APP version, with Wi-Fi added — and the radio shows up in the certification data: 2.49 W of standby is the highest of the four 15 A Level 1 units indexed here, more than double the 1.22 W cohort median, though at about 22 kWh a year the absolute cost stays small. Charging itself is unchanged: 1.8 kW at 120 V, roughly 6 miles of range per hour, full rate available to all 29 tracked EVs, 16-foot cable, 20 A minimum circuit. It is the only networked model in its cohort.
- Best for: App scheduling and monitoring on a basic 120 V charger — unique in its cohort.
- Trade-off: Connectivity doubles its idle draw relative to the cohort median.
