Lectron Level 2 J1772 Charger (WiFi Version) - Portable 40A EV Charger

In this review of the Lectron Level 2 J1772 Charger (WiFi Version) the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, portable solution for EV owners who want faster overnight charging and app-based control. It is aimed at drivers with a NEMA 14-50 outlet who need a reliable, weather-resistant option that moves between home, garage and travel. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of 40A Level 2 power and WiFi app control, which together deliver noticeably faster fills and smarter scheduling than a basic Level 1 cable.

Key Features

• Smart WiFi and app control: The Lectron App lets you monitor charge status in real time, start and stop sessions remotely, and schedule charging windows for lower rates.
• J1772 compatibility: Works with all vehicles that accept the J1772 standard, so it will plug in to most non-Tesla EVs and EVs using an adapter.
• 40 amp, 240V charging: Provides up to 9.6 kW input power for faster overnight charging compared with 120V Level 1 options.
• NEMA 14-50 plug and long cord: Includes a NEMA 14-50 plug and a 16 ft extension cord for flexible placement around the home or garage.
• Safe and certified: Built with rugged materials, a UL 2251 certified handle, and Energy Star, ETL and FCC certifications for dependable, weather-resistant use.
• Portable convenience: Ships with a durable carrying case so the charger is easy to store and transport for travel or multi-location use.

Who It's For

The Lectron Level 2 J1772 is best for EV owners who have regular access to a NEMA 14-50 outlet and want faster overnight charging than a 120V cable can provide. It suits drivers who value remote control and scheduling via a mobile app, and those who need a charger they can take on trips or move between residences.

It is less appropriate for drivers without access to a compatible 240V outlet or those who need a permanently mounted home wall box. Buyers who require built-in smart home integrations beyond the vendor app should confirm compatibility before purchasing.
