Key Takeaways

  • Best for: Tesla and NACS-port EVs
  • Standout: 48A with a native NACS plug for under $480
  • Watch out: Hardwired only and no app
  • Not for: Owners of J1772-port EVs

The Lectron NEXUS is a 48A hardwired Level 2 charger with a native NACS (Tesla-style) connector and a 23 ft cable. It skips the app to keep the price down, at about $420 to $480.

What you need before you buy

  • A 60A, 240V circuit hardwired by an electrician.
  • A NACS-port EV, or an adapter for J1772 cars.
  • Your car’s app if you want to schedule off-peak charging.

How fast it charges

At 48A it adds up to about 46 miles of range per hour, refilling most daily driving in an hour or two.

  • Costs less than most 48A smart chargers

  • 23 ft cable with a holster for tidy mounting

Cons

  • Hardwired only, so it needs an electrician and a 60A circuit

Common Questions

Does it work with non-Tesla EVs?
Yes for newer EVs with a NACS port (such as recent Ford, GM, Hyundai and Rivian models). Older J1772-port cars need a NACS-to-J1772 adapter.
Can I plug it into a 14-50 outlet?
No. It is hardwired only and needs a 60A circuit for full 48A charging, installed by an electrician.
Does it have an app?
No. It charges as soon as you plug in; use your car's app to schedule off-peak charging.
