In just one hour, the 24 amp chargers can charge an electric car for approximately 25 miles. This charger is 3.5x more efficient than Level-1 chargers. They can be connected to 240 volts. The 24A units are compatible with NEMA 6-30, 10-30 or 14-30 outlets. They have a breaker capability of 30 amps or more. These devices are not often hardwired.

High power chargers compatible with 24A

There are charging stations with a range of 24 amps and higher that can handle the required power. Don’t worry, they’re also compatible with electric cars with different capacity limitations. Their main benefit is the potential for extra power if you upgrade to an electric vehicle in the future and need 40 amps rather than 24 amps.

We have a few chargers for you! The NEMA 14-50 is a U.S. standard that can be found in residential properties, and it’s great if your device won’t draw more than 40 amps. Check out the full review of the NEMA 14-50 models here.

Hardware chargers compatible with 24 amp

Hardwired  types of devices are considered safe compared to plug-in models, which may not last as long and may not provide reliable performance in the future. You will have to do more complex steps to dismantle the unit if something goes wrong with it (e.g., hire an electrician who will charge extra).

Hardware models have a maximum power rating of more than 24 amps, but they adapt perfectly thanks to OCPP to your electric car, even if the EV has an incoming power limit. If you allow electric cars to be used in the future, it makes sense to invest in more powerful devices, such as 40-amp units.

Why is Level 2 EV charger better than Level 1? Level 2 uses 240-volt and provides less waiting time for charging.

When choosing a 24-amp EV charger, you should pay attention to the following criteria

– Amperage: The amperage of the charger is important to consider because it will determine how quickly your vehicle can charge.

– Cable length: The cable length is also important to consider because it will determine how far away from the charging station you can park your vehicle.

– Socket: The socket type is also important to consider because it will determine compatibility with your vehicle.

– Waterproof: The waterproofness of the charger is also important to consider because it will protect against weather damage.

– Weight: The weight of the charger is also important to consider because it will affect portability.

So what’s the advantage of plug-in EV chargers over hardwired EV chargers?

Socket. Plug-in chargers are more versatile, as they can be used with any EV, regardless of make or model. Hardwired chargers, on the other hand, are specific to a certain make or model of EV and cannot be used with other vehicles.

Another advantage of plug-in chargers is that they are portable. If you need to move your EV to a different location, you can simply unplug the charger and take it with you. Hardwired chargers, on the other hand, are not as easily portable and must be installed by a professional electrician.

Finally, plug-in chargers are typically cheaper than hardwired chargers.
