LectronV-Box 48 Amp Electric Vehicle Charging Station - Powerful Level 2 EV Charger (240V) with NEMA 14-50 Plug/Hardwired - Energy Star and ETL Certified for J1772 EVs

I've been using this for 5 months now, and not a single issue. I had an Autel before, and after 2 weeks it started giving me issues - would only charge the car sometimes. The Lectron has giving me no issues. And, it actually looks good too! Very easy to install.Update 7/21/23 - Had an issue that the charger would stop after about every 1/2 hour. One of the reasons this might have happened is because it was set to 48 Amps instead of 40 Amps. If it's plugged in, it must be set to 40 Amps. 48 Amps is for hardwired applications. I called customer service and they expedited a new one to me at no cost. The company is great!

This was an upgrade from a previous level 2 charger I had which seemed to be overheating and stopped charging my 4xe. I purchased this unit because of the higher amp rating even though it was a bit overspec'd for my vehicle in hopes that might solve my problem.The extra thickness of the cable (lower gauge?) was immediately apparent when I unpacked the unit. Build quality on the box / display is solid. The instructions said I had the option to set the output amps to a lower setting than 48A so I changed the tiny dial to 32A per the spec of my 4xe. Wall installation was simple and is secure with the drywall anchors.Fast forward through maybe 3 of the hottest weeks in NJ and I've not once had the charge stop due to overheating with the V-Box and I typically charge 2-3x per day.Will come back in a couple of months to update but so far the product deserves the 5 stars.

I purchased this charger on Amazon in April of 2023, because of the beautiful changing display screen. If you live in a state like California that offers rebates for home EV charging stations, you'll be rewarded with the full amount of the charger, and even the installation fee. I didn't find out until I applied for the rebates with the AQMD, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, to submit the photo of the NRTL certification of the charger. My charger doesn't have any, only the CCF. Both of my applications were rejected untilI l provide them the information requested. I contacted Lectron by email. It is the only way of communication with the company. John responded back. We went back and forth. The company was doing the bare minimum to help. He finally stated that they have a NRTL on their new chargers. Okay, send me the label, or something. His response was that I had bought an old version charger that was sold by Amazon, and not from Lectron. Therefore, I'm on my own. I responded back that what did that has to do with anything, and how do you put a product on the US market if it hadn't passed the test to receive the NRTL certification. The window of return of this item has ended. Otherwise, I would have returned it back to Amazon for refunds.WARNING: If you're planning on getting rebates from your utility company. This charger will not do. I'm leaving about $2000 on the table. Not a good thing. There are better chargers on the market today that have all the bells and whistles, with WiFi, etc, for less. You will be able to update if necessary. And, they are UL, NRTL certified.LECTRON chargers are not on the approved list of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. It may not be on your utility department list as well.LECTRON HAS A TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE RELATION. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF BACK AND FORTH WITH LECTRON TO GET THE NRTL LABEL, OR, SOMETHING FOR MY CHARGER, FOR MY REBATE APPLICATION TO BE APPROVED. I AM LEFT WITH NOTHING. I STILL HAVE FULL WARRANTY ON THE CHARGER AS OF NOW. THIS IS A MONEY LOSS. NOT HAPPY! ESPECIALLY ON A CLASS B CHARGER. NOT WORTH IT!IN ALL HONESTY, I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND THE LECTRON V-BOX 48V CHARGER.UPDATE: Temperature reading on charger is inaccurate. It's always about 20 degrees higher.

The charger will overheat and not work well with the KIA EV6 and HYUNDAI IONIQ if set to level 4 which is 48 amps. You have to turn it down from the factory default "4" to "3." You can you a small screw driver to dial it down to 3. So far, I was able to charge my car last night without the charge interrupted notice while it was set to 3. If you guys are having problems then unscrew the rubber panel on the back of the charger and dial it down from 4 to 3. I was charging my car on reduced current but then half way through charging I was able to charge at max current and the charger did not get hot and it stayed around 39 amps most of the time. Works well on setting 3. Heads up. Most important, customer service is definitely a 5 star team. Veronica was so incredibly nice and walked me through everything so she could get the engineers to help us figure it out. Sometimes it's not the product you are paying for, it's the customer service. Lectron has amazing customer service!

We bought this charger to use with our new ID.4 specifically because we wanted a 48-amp capable charger with a NEMA 14-50 plug. It's VERY lightweight, which is great - it probably weights half as much as the older 16A Siemens charger we have for our Volt. Installation is super easy, and it hangs well on drywall. Very nice, easy to read display. The 20 foot cord is great for cars that have the plug in the back. We had it up and running in less than 30m. One quick note - sometimes the plug needs a bit of a push to engage with the car - not sure if that's on the ID.4 side or the charger side, but a little bit of elbow grease is sometimes necessary to push it in and get it to charge at the full 48A.
