Hey you and welcome! My name is Dan and in this whole video we're going to be looking at the Lectron
electric vehicle charger or charge cable or just evse for short i've been using
this charger for a while now and i found it to be a very lightweight and portable
charge cable that allows me to connect my electric car to a 240 volt ac outlet and it comes with a
21 foot cable which really makes it convenient so let's check out this evs eu and i come on
first off let's look at some of the key features for example it's underwriters laboratory or ul
listed it is sae j1772 compliant so any ev out there that allows you to plug into the j1772
even with an adapter is compatible it has auto restart in the event of a ground fault or even
a power outage it also has overheat protection it comes with a backlit display that measures
one and an eighth inch by one half inch in the upper left-hand corner we find the amp limit mode
which you can change to limit the amount of amps being drawn by the circuit in the top center we
find the time spent charging in the upper right hand corner we find the charging status indicator
in the center we see the amount of kilowatt hours that have been drawn from the home circuit
in the lower left hand corner we see the connected voltage in the lower center we see the amount of
amps being drawn by the circuit in the lower right hand corner we see the unit's temperature
here we see it's at 31 degrees celsius which is about 88 degrees fahrenheit the plug connects
to a nema 1450 outlet which can be found in the garages of most newer homes if your home doesn't
have a nema 1450 outlet it can be installed by an electrician in about an hour or less
plugging in is a snap the plug is made of a very sturdy construction and it feels very
firm in the outlet once connected to power the unit automatically turns on the cabling
is very thick and feels very well made it can actually be used indoor or outdoor the j1772
plug is made of a sturdy plastic next let's plug this into my mitsubishi imav to charge the car
this unit comes with a 21 foot long cable which makes it very convenient if you want to charge
outside the unit charges at consistent level 2 rate next let's charge my tesla model 3.
in order to charge a tesla with a j1772 plug you need to use the adapter that comes with your tesla
as you can see it's charging to full 32 amps at 240 volts next let's check this
inside the tesla as you can see it's charging at 8 kilowatts
32 amps at 236 volts and it'll take about three hours to give me the charge that i've selected
so what sets this charge cable apart from the one that comes with the car well for one comes with a
21 foot length cable making it very convenient if you want to charge the car on the outside
but have the plug on the inside of a garage or a different location it comes with a very
sturdy and handy portable case it charges at consistent level two rate has overheat protection
and is ul listed and that's why i'm recommending this charge cable if you like these types of
videos please give it a thumbs up comment down below because i love to read your comments and
