Product Description

The 40-amp OpenEVSE Level 2 station is ready to plug into any NEMA 14-50 outlet (240volt / 50amp), and it works with all production EV's on the road today. It offers faster charging and more features like a nice LCD at a far lower price than any of the competitors.

It is perfect for customers who are tired of long slow charging with their stock “brick” chargers. I can speak from personal experience; my 2013 LEAF went from 24 hr charge time down to 5 hours! Don’t pay the dealer $1500 for an AeroVironment 30A charger with NO LCD that’s permanently on the wall. (That’s what many including myself have been quoted!) Get yourself an OpenEVSE Charging Station and support the Open Source hardware/software movement.

  1. More power and features for the money than any other charging station
  2. Can be used with any power source: Plugs into a dryer, RV park or regular wall outlet with available adapters. Save hundreds of dollars on installation - just install a common NEMA 14-50 outlet and you are ready to plug in your OpenEVSE
  3. Great for both Home or on-the-road charging: OpenEVSE can be removed from the wall via slotted screw holes in seconds if you wish to take it with you as a portable charging option. OpenEVSE is just 8.75"x5"x3.5" and weighs ~12lbs with cables.
  4. Indoor and Outdoor rated

It contains my company's email address. I also sell directly and accept PayPal. You will see the prices are lower buying directly from my company.

It will charge any J1772 compliant car at up to 32A. However you can dial it back to whatever you have for a supply like a 20A 240volt welder or A/C outlet. (adapters available from me)

Flexibility:

The OpenEVSE may be set in multiple steps between 6A-32A in 2 amp increments. This advertises the available current to the EV which intern draws what it is designed for. You can go into the menu and set it for less if you take the EVSE on the road with you to fit what you may find in the wild.

 

I can now customize the firmware to whatever values you like before shipping. I chose these values to give the user flexibility for various outlets found in the wild. I stop at 32A as this is 80% of a 40A circuit, which is maximum recommended load. This unit is constructed with a 40A power input cable, 40A J1772 Whip and a 50A contactor. It is built to plug into a common 14-50 outlet used in RV parks and Range/Oven’s

            The 14-50 is the one all the Tesla guys have installed as well as the standard at RV parks!

           You can even use the PlugShare app and set the filters to include NEMA 14-50 and see all of them in the country, there are a surprising number of them.

           It has a nice Blue LCD display.

           I used a metal Menu/Select button. With IP65 water resistance rating

Customizable:

If you would like the unit customized with a twist lock plug for example or something other than the NEMA 14-50 plug I can do that for the difference in parts. For example a L6-30. This would allow you to use many adapters. I also build custom adapters, see my PDF.      Works on 240volts AC, also available in Level 1/2, auto switching 120v/240v version.

 

Local pickup in Las Vegas is available. Payment is by PayPal if shipped or cash for local pickup. $25 for UPS ground shipping in the continental USA. I stand behind my work with a 1 year parts/labor warranty!
