EVIQO EVIPOWER J1772 40A NEMA 14-50 Plug-In Level 2 EV Charger
An existing EV-graded NEMA 14-50 outlet on a dedicated 50-amp circuit
The plug-in EVIPOWER delivers 40 amps through a J1772 connector on a 25-foot cable, in an IP66 and NEMA 4 housing rated from -22°F to 131°F. It needs an EV-graded NEMA 14-50 outlet on a dedicated 50-amp circuit, and EVIQO's warranty specifically excludes failures where that receptacle was not used.
Published specifications
