The Lectron J1772 Level 2 EV Charger is a 40A, 240V plug-in charging station with a 23-foot cable and UL/ETL safety certifications for dependable home and outdoor electric vehicle charging.

Designed for everyday home charging, the Lectron NEXUS combines faster Level 2 power, weatherproof construction and certified safety in a plug-and-play package. It delivers up to 9.6 kW (40A at 240V) through a standard J1772 connector, fits a NEMA 14-50 outlet for easy setup without hardwiring, and includes a long cable plus a mounting holster to simplify storage and reach. This description explains what it does, how it performs, and whether it suits your EV charging needs.

How quickly will the Lectron NEXUS charge my electric vehicle?

The NEXUS supplies up to 40 amps at 240 volts, translating to as much as 38 miles of driving range added per hour for compatible EVs. Actual charge speed depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger capability and battery state of charge.

• Output: up to 9.6 kW (40A at 240V).
• Typical gain: up to ~38 miles of range per hour under ideal conditions.
• Works with all J1772-equipped cars; Tesla charges via an adapter.

Is installation difficult — do I need an electrician?

No permanent wiring is required for common setups: the unit plugs into a NEMA 14-50 outlet, so many owners use an existing outlet or have an electrician install one quickly. That makes it simple to start Level 2 charging without a full hardwired installation.

• Plug type: NEMA 14-50 for full 40A operation.
• Plug-and-play: no internal electrical changes needed for most homes.
• Option: professional installation recommended if you lack a 14-50 outlet.

Can I leave the charger outdoors and how is it protected?

The Lectron NEXUS is built to handle outdoor conditions with an IP66 rating and rugged construction that stands up to rain, snow, dust and heat. The cable is 23 feet long for flexible vehicle positioning and the package includes a holster for neat wall mounting and cable storage.

• Ingress rating: IP66 for water and dust resistance.
• Cable length: 23 ft to reach garages, driveways and parking stalls easily.
• Includes charger holder for tidy mounting and reduced wear.

What safety and reliability features are included?

Safety testing and protective electronics are central to the NEXUS design: it carries UL 2594 and other UL certifications and is ETL listed, with internal safeguards for overheating, overcurrent, voltage faults and ground faults. Lectron also backs the unit with a three-year limited warranty.

• Certifications: UL 2594, UL 2231, UL 2251, UL 817 and ETL listed.
• Built-in protections: thermal, overcurrent and ground-fault safeguards.
• Warranty: 3-year limited warranty from purchase date.

Who is this for: The Lectron J1772 Level 2 Charger is aimed at EV owners who want a faster, reliable home charging solution without hardwiring. It suits drivers with J1772-compatible cars who need regular overnight charging, families with shared vehicles, and anyone seeking a weatherproof, certified station that’s easy to install and store. If you have a Tesla, pair the charger with a NACS adapter to maintain full functionality.
