Editor's analysis
Real-time on-device LCD screen showing voltage and output.
The Lectron V-Box differentiates itself immediately with a large, bright front LCD screen that shows voltage, continuous amperage, session duration, and kilowatt-hours delivered without needing to pull up a smartphone app. It delivers up to 48 amps (11.5 kW) when hardwired, or 40 amps (9.6 kW) plugged into a NEMA 14-50 outlet, replenishing approximately 34 miles of range per hour. The station connects via the Lectron app to set delayed timers and track history, though the software interface is more spartan than ChargePoint's. The primary drawback is its 20-foot charging cord, which is several feet shorter than standard 24-foot cables. For drivers whose charging port is close to the station, it provides tremendous hardware value.
