EV Charger Check

Disclosure: Manufacturer links on this site are plain links, not affiliate links yet. If that changes we may earn a commission at no cost to you, and this notice will say so. We have not tested any charger. Specs come from ENERGY STAR certification data and EPA/DOE fuel economy data; charging-time, range-per-hour and cost figures are estimates. Not electrical advice: have a licensed electrician size and install your circuit. Learn more.

48 amp EV chargers compared by spec

All 26 featured 48 A (11.5 kW) chargers in ENERGY STAR data, sorted by listed cord length (longest first), then standby power. Every one delivers the same maximum power, so these are the specs that differ. We have not tested them and this is not a quality ranking.

*Estimate: ENERGY STAR "no vehicle mode" input power × 8,760 h, i.e. the most it could use in a year if no car were ever plugged in, × U.S. average residential rate 18.31¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026 (preliminary)).

Needs about a 60 A circuit breaker (estimate). See the 48 A guide.
