RAB EVC32/LCB
RAB EVC32/LCB is a Level 2 home EV charger from RAB with up to 32 A (7.68 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 16 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
RAB’s connected variant keeps the base EVC32’s short 16-foot cable — among the briefest in the 21-model 32 A class, eight feet under the median — and adds Wi-Fi at a measurable idle cost: 4.66 W standby versus the plain version’s 2.45 W, landing in the top sixth of the cohort at about 41 kWh a year. The charging core is unchanged and unremarkable: 7.68 kW at 32 A, roughly 27 miles of range per hour, a rate 25 of the 29 EVs we track accept in full, on a 40 A minimum circuit. Choose it for the connectivity or not at all.
- Best for: Adding app control to a close-mounted RAB install.
- Trade-off: Networking nearly doubles the sibling’s standby, and the short cable remains.
