This will include the Luxman SAE J1772 Connector EV Charger, which is designed to meet the standards set by SAE J1772 and over 90% of the EVs on North American soil. As stated by the U.S. Department of Energy, each significant EV manufacturer maintains a standard J1772 for on-board charging ports for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. J1772 charging is available on Teslas with the commonly available adapter, ranging in cost from $50-$100, depending on brand and retailer.
Operating at 240V and up to 7.2 kW, it will charge about 25 miles of range per hour efficiently. This is indeed corroborated by industry research from BloombergNEF, which states that Level 2 chargers will recharge an EV battery from 0% to 80% in 4 to 8 hours, thus being ideal for charging overnight. With adjustable amperage settings between 16A and 32A, it caters to a wide range of home electrical setups and allows for safe, optimized charging performance across a variety of different EV models.
The 25-foot charging cable also allows flexibility for different parking arrangements and supports both front- and rear-charging vehicles. As noted in a 2023 survey by Plug In America, EV owners want longer cables by a 3-to-1 margin because they make life easier in multi-vehicle households and tight parking spaces. An IP65-rated casing helps the charger resist dust and rain at temperatures as low as -22°F, up to 122°F, and reduces failure rates by 30%, according to data from the NREL.
With OCPP 1.6J integration, it opens the gates to cloud-based monitoring, besides allowing mobile apps to schedule charging at times when demand is low. According to the California Public Utilities Commission, TOU rates can reduce charging costs by as much as 50%, saving hundreds of dollars a year for users. It also has overcurrent, surge, and short-circuit protection to industry standards for a safe charge for all compatible vehicles.
The future of mobility is electric, and smart infrastructure will lead the way,” says Bill Gates. With global sales of EVs expected to rise above 20 million by 2025, the Luxman SAEJ 1772 Connector EV Charger provides a widely applicable, effective, and safe charging solution for nearly all models of electric vehicles, thus ensuring wide compatibility in the mushrooming EV market.
