Compact yet powerful, Legrand's unit is rated for 40A and provides an output of 9.6kW, making for a considerably faster charge than Level 1 models and taking the EV's battery from 0 to 100% in 8-10 hours. It also delivers an extended range of up to 38 miles per hour of charging.

Getting started with Legrand's Plug-In Home Level 2 EV Charger is easy. Simply plug the non-networked unit into a 50A power outlet, indoors or out, and start charging – no complicated setup or configuration required. Equipped with a SAE J1772 Connector, the North American standard, the charger works with any electric vehicle (adapter required for Tesla models).

Energy Star certified for efficiency, Legrand's EV charger can also qualify users for potential rebates and tax credits. Eligibility details can be found on www.energystar.gov.

Legrand's Plug-In Home Level 2 EV Charger is available now in the US Only. A hard-wired version for residential applications is also already in development and expected to launch later this year.
