Lectron LECHGNexusHWJ1772

Lectron LECHGNexusHWJ1772 is a Level 2 home EV charger from Lectron with up to 48 A (11.52 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 22 ft cable, non-networked operation.

MSRP: $459.99

Our take

One of the few non-networked units among the 91 certified 48 A models — 88% of the class carries Wi-Fi — and at $459.99 it is also one of the cheaper listed prices in the class. What you give up in app control you get back at idle: 1.86 W of standby draw lands in the lowest 15% of the cohort, about 16 kWh a year. The 22-foot cable runs three feet under the class median, and the full 48 A output needs a 60 A circuit for roughly 41 miles of range per hour.
