Tcharge UAC 80

Tcharge UAC 80 is a Level 2 home EV charger from Tcharge with up to 80 A (19.2 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 25 ft cable, networked smart charging.

Our take

Reach is covered — 25 feet of cable, the longest in the 80 A class and enough to span a two-car garage — but the idle figure asks a question: 5.49 W of standby is 65th percentile of the 65 certified models, about 48 kWh a year against a median near 41. The 19.2 kW output requires at least a 100 A circuit and translates to roughly 68 miles of range per hour, a rate only 3 of our 29 tracked EVs can currently accept.
