Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger Review
The Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger offers fast and reliable home charging for Tesla vehicles. With an easy plug-and-play setup, it works with standard household outlets. Its compact design ensures convenience, while it provides safe and consistent power for everyday charging needs. Ideal for quick and efficient at-home use.
The Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger is a simple and efficient charging solution for Tesla owners. With a NEMA 5-15 plug, it provides 15 Amps of charging current and delivers 1.65 kW of power. This is ideal for overnight charging at home or in any location with a compatible outlet. It adds around 40-50 miles of range to your Tesla overnight, making it a cost-effective option for daily use.
One of the standout features is its direct compatibility with Tesla models S, X, 3, and Y. Unlike other chargers, this model does not require an additional plug or adapter. It connects easily to any standard 110-volt outlet and starts charging right away. The charger delivers the full 16 amps, which is typical for Level 1 charging, and performs without any issues. The Lectron charger is also built with safety in mind. It includes protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits, ensuring a safe charging experience.
The charger is lightweight, and the cord is long enough to provide flexibility when plugging it in. While the charger is effective, a few accessories may improve the experience. For example, using clamps to secure the cord and a housing unit to store the cable after use would be helpful. Overall, the Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger offers great value for its price, delivering reliable and straightforward charging without the need for extra accessories or a complicated setup. The Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger faces competition from the Bokman 16 Amp Wall Charger. The Bokman charger is more affordable and offers advanced features compared to the Lectron model.
For a permanent, hardwired home EV charger that delivers faster charging speeds and enhanced compatibility, we recommend Tesla EV chargers like the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector and the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. The Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector is ideal for Model 3, Y, S, and X owners. It provides faster charging speeds, superior durability, and seamless integration with Tesla vehicles. Its customizable amperage settings and connection to the Tesla network make it a top choice for home installations.
For Cybertruck owners, the Tesla Universal Wall Connector is the best option. It offers similar fast charging as the Gen 3 model but offers more advanced EV charging features with the Cybertruck such as bi-directional EV charging. Its customizable amperage settings and permanent installation make it a reliable, efficient choice for optimal charging performance.
