Explore all our top-rated 24 AMP Level 2 EV chargers, including models with a maximum output of 24 amps and those with adjustable amperage settings capped at 24 amps. Most chargers in this category are amperage-adjusted units, offering flexible charging to match your circuit capacity. Compatible with both J1772 and Tesla/NACS EVs, these chargers deliver reliable 24 Amps 240V performance at home or in public EV charging locations.
What is a Level 24 AMP EV Charger?
A 24 Amp EV charger is a Level 2 (240V) electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) capable of delivering up to 5.76 kW of charging power. On average, it adds 22 miles of range per hour, making it an ideal choice for overnight charging and daily commuting. This output provides a balanced solution – faster than 16A units while avoiding the panel upgrades often required for 32A or 40A EV chargers.
To comply with NEC’s 80% rule for continuous loads, 24A chargers must be installed on a dedicated 30A circuit with proper wire sizing and breaker protection. Many are plug-in units that support popular outlet types, while others are hardwired for permanent installation.
24 Amp vs 16 Amp and 32 Amp EV Chargers
Compared to 16A EV chargers, a 24A unit charges up to 50% faster, making it better suited for full EVs or daily use. While 32A EV chargers offer more speed (7.7 kW), they require a 40A circuit, which may not be available in older homes without service panel upgrades. A 24A charger strikes the right balance – fast enough for most EVs, yet easier to install and more affordable overall.
24 Amp Level 2 EV Charger Circuit Requirements
A 24 Amp Level 2 EV charger requires a 240V circuit with a 30A double-pole breaker and 10 AWG copper conductors rated for 75°C insulation (e.g., THHN). Most models plug into a NEMA 6-30 or 14-30 outlet, though hardwired options are also available. GFCI protection may be required and should be provided in the breaker, outlet, or within the charger.
NEMA 6-30P 24 Amp Level 2 EV Charger Circuit Wiring Diagram
The diagram below shows a 240V wiring setup for a 24A Level 2 EV charger (5.76 kW) using a NEMA 6-30P plug. A 30A double-pole breaker feeds two 10 AWG copper hot wires (black and red), and one 10 AWG green ground wire through a conduit to the NEMA 6-30R outlet. A plug-in EV charger connects to the receptacle.
NEMA 14-30P 24 Amp Level 2 EV Charger Circuit Wiring Diagram
The diagram below shows a 240V setup for a 24A Level 2 EV charger (5.76 kW) using a NEMA 14-30P plug. A 30A double-pole breaker feeds four 10 AWG copper wires – black and red (Hot), white (Neutral), and green (Ground) – through a conduit to the NEMA 14-30P outlet, where the charger plugs in.
Hardwired 4-Wire 240V Wiring Diagram for 24 Amp Level 2 EV Charger
The diagram below shows a 4-wire hardwired installation for a 24A Level 2 EV charger (5.76 kW). A 30A double-pole breaker feeds four 10 AWG solid copper conductors – black (L1) and red (L2) from the breaker, white (Neutral) from the neutral busbar, and green (Ground) from the ground busbar – through conduit to a junction box where the charger is directly connected.
Hardwired 3-Wire 240V Wiring Diagram for 24 Amp Level 2 EV Charger
This diagram shows a 3-wire hardwired setup for a 24A Level 2 EV charger. A 30A double-pole breaker feeds three 10 AWG solid copper wires—black (L1) and red (L2) from the breaker, and green (Ground) from the ground busbar – through a conduit to a junction box for direct wiring to the charger. No neutral is used in this configuration.
