Zerova AC EV Charger
Zerova AC EV Charger is a Level 2 home EV charger from Zerova with up to 80 A (19.2 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 16 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
Sixteen feet of cable is the defining constraint — bottom 5% of the 80 A class for reach, nine feet under the 25-foot median — so this wants to hang directly beside the charge port. The rest is respectable: 3.88 W of standby ranks 35th percentile among the 65 certified models, below the median, with Wi-Fi connectivity like 94% of the class. The 19.2 kW output needs at least a 100 A circuit and serves 3 of our 29 tracked EVs at full speed.
- Best for: A wall position directly at the car’s charge port.
- Trade-off: One of the shortest cables in the 80 A class.
