Why Choose This Charger

  • Much faster than a wall outlet: Level 2 charging is several times faster than Level 1 (120V), which adds only about 3–5 miles per hour.
  • J1772 connector: plugs straight into compatible vehicles with no adapter.
  • Flexible install: choose a plug-in or hardwired setup to match your garage.
  • Model: THOR 09AS-P US
  • Smart charging: App-connected smart AC charger

Compatible Vehicles

Most non-Tesla EVs and plug-in hybrids sold in the U.S. with a J1772 port (for example Chevy Bolt and Equinox EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Nissan Leaf, Rivian, VW ID.4). Teslas can use it with the J1772 adapter that comes with most Teslas. Always check your vehicle's maximum AC charging rate; a car with an 11 kW onboard charger will not charge faster than that, even on a higher-rated charger.

Installation Requirements

For full 40A charging the charger needs a dedicated 240V circuit with a 50A double-pole breaker (125% of the charging current). A plug-in version uses a NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50A circuit with 6 AWG copper wire, and recent codes generally require GFCI protection for garage and outdoor 240V outlets. See our NEMA 14-50 outlet guide, and have a licensed electrician check panel capacity and permits.
