  • QuestionWhat is the charge rate that the car is expected to receive? I just bought this charger and my car is only showing charging at 0.9 to 1.0kw. seems low to me?

    Asked by Powercharge.

    • Answer A touch low. American power outlets handle a maximum of 15 amps at 120v. If you're not reaching 1.8kw then you either have low voltage or amperagw to your outlet. Voltage is usually the culprit.

  • QuestionPlease confirm the charging cable is 20 feet long per specifications on the Best Buy listing. Everywhere else I look including Lectron's website the length is 16 feet.

    Asked by Peter.

    • Answer The Lectron Portable J1772 Level 1 EV Charger with a NEMA 5-15 plug comes in different models with varying cable lengths. 16 ft (approximately 4.9 meters): This model is rated at 15 amps and features a 16-foot cable. 21 ft (approximately 6.4 meters): This version is rated at 16 amps and includes a 21-foot cable. Therefore, if you're referring to the 15A model, it indeed has a 16-foot (4.9-meter) cable. The 16A model, on the other hand, comes with a longer 21-foot (6.4-meter) cable.

  • QuestionI have a 2014 Chevy volt and purchased this and my car will not recognize it/start charging. Did I purchase the wrong one??

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The 2014 Chevy Volt is compatible with J1772 connectors. However, the issue may stem from a few different factors: Power Source: Ensure that the outlet you're using is working correctly and provides enough power. Try plugging something else into the outlet to check if it's functioning. Charger Compatibility: While the Chevy Volt should work with a Level 1 charger, it may have trouble if the charger isn't providing stable power. Check the charger's status lights to see if it's showing any faults. Car Settings: Sometimes the vehicle may need a specific setting enabled for charging, such as a delayed charging schedule. Ensure the Volt’s settings are set to "Charge Immediately." Charger Reset: Try resetting the charger or unplugging it for a few minutes, then plug it back in. If none of these steps work, please contact us via email at [email protected]

  • QuestionDoes this model work with the electron app?

    Asked by Lui.

    • Answer Yes, the Lectron Portable J1772 Level 1 NEMA 5-15 Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger can work with an Electron app, provided the app supports connectivity or control of the charger via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or any other communication protocols. However, Lectron chargers themselves do not have direct integration with apps for managing or monitoring charging in the same way that more advanced chargers (like Tesla Wall Connectors or ChargePoint) do. This charger is primarily a Level 1 charger (120V) that connects to a standard 5-15 NEMA plug, and it doesn't inherently come with an app to manage or monitor the charging process. It just provides the charging function when plugged into a standard household outlet.

    • Answer Lectron Level 1 Tesla Charger is a Level 1 electric vehicle charger designed specifically for Tesla vehicles. It features a NEMA 5-15 plug, allowing it to connect to standard 110V household outlets, and delivers up to 15 amps of charging current. This charger is compatible with all Tesla models, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y .

  • QuestionInstructions say connect only to a circuit with 50 amp max branch circuit overcurrent. Normal household outlets are just 15 amps. A 50 amp circuit is very unusual. Is it safe to use with standard 15 amp wiring and breaker?

    Asked by Circuit.

    • Answer Yes, it's safe if plugged into a regular 15A or 20A household outlet, without any adapter or modification. No, it’s not safe to use with 50-amp circuits unless the charger is explicitly designed for it (which yours isn’t), or unless the plug type and wiring match (which a 5-15 does not).

  • QuestionHow long does it take to fill a kia niro tank. Full is around 250 miles? Do I need to join an electric charging club like ev to charge, or just simply plug it in?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer You plug it in and the car will start charging. My 2024 Niro EV charges slow as a snail on this thing (69 hours to fill from 30% to 80%). Not sure if its the car, my outlets in my brand new house, or if its this piece of junk but it makes it basically useless.

  • QuestionWill this work on Volkswagen ID.4

    Asked by Jay.

    • Answer Yes, the Lectron Portable J1772 Level 1 NEMA 5-15 Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger with up to 15 amps and 120 volts should work with your Volkswagen ID.4, as the ID.4 uses the J1772 charging standard for Level 1 and Level 2 charging in North America. This charger will allow you to charge your ID.4 from a regular household outlet, but keep in mind that Level 1 charging (120 volts) is slower compared to Level 2 charging (240 volts). Depending on the battery size and current state of charge, it may take a significant amount of time to fully charge the vehicle.

  • Questionwill this charger work on my 2021 kia Niro hybrid

    Asked by Doug.

    • Answer If your Niro has a J1772 port, yes this will work.

      Answered by RussellS

  • QuestionHow is this safe to use? It uses a NEMA 5-15p plug and plugs into a NEMA 5-15r receptacle. Those are only rated for 12 A for continuous loads. For a 15 A continuous load you are supposed to use a NEMA 5-20p plug and a NEMA 5-20r.

    Asked by tzs108.

    • Answer The Lectron Portable J1772 Level 1 EV Charger uses a NEMA 5-15 plug, which is the standard 120V household outlet. While the charger is capable of handling up to 15 amps, it’s designed with safety and compliance in mind. Although it says "up to 15A," most Level 1 EV chargers, including Lectron’s, are programmed to draw only 12 amps when using a NEMA 5-15 outlet — fully in line with NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines for continuous loads. These chargers often have built-in protections that detect your outlet’s capabilities and automatically adjust the current to a safe level. So even if the unit is rated higher, it won’t overload your outlet. We also ensure their products meet UL standards or equivalent safety certifications, giving added peace of mind.
