The charger accepts 110‑240V AC, working with both North American and European/Asian household supplies without manual switching.
Adjustable current output
It select 16‑40A to match your circuit capacity and avoid tripping breakers in older buildings.
Intelligent control box
It built‑in LCD shows real‑time voltage, current, power, and charging time; LED indicators provide instant status feedback.
Over‑the‑air firmware updates
OCPP‑ready communication enables remote diagnostics and future feature enhancements.
Interchangeable connectors
The J1771 Portable Tesla Type1 Type2 Electric Vehicle EV Fast Car Charger includes both Type 1 and Type 2 plug options, covering nearly all passenger EV models on the road today.
Weather‑ready construction
IP55 rating protects against dust and water jets, allowing safe outdoor use in moderate rain.
Use Scenarios
Home overnight charging:plug into a dedicated garage outlet and wake up to a full battery every morning.
Workplace top‑ups: charge during office hours using available 16A or 32A sockets, adding enough range for the commute home.
Road trip backup: keep the J1771 Portable Tesla Type1 Type2 Electric Vehicle EV Fast Car Charger in the boot – if public chargers are occupied, any campsite or hotel outlet becomes your charging point.
PHEV daily replenishment: ideal for plug‑in hybrids with smaller battery packs, fully charging in 2‑4 hours from a standard socket.
Visiting friends or family: no need to locate public chargers – just use a normal wall outlet wherever you stay.
Interface Types
1. Type 1 (J1772)
The North American standard with 5 pins, supporting single‑phase AC only. Commonly found on older or region‑specific models such as early Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The J1771 Portable Tesla Type1 Type2 Electric Vehicle EV Fast Car Charger includes a Type 1 option for these vehicles.
2. Type 2 (Mennekes)
The European standard with 7 pins, supporting both single‑phase and three‑phase AC. Used by most modern EVs including Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, and many Chinese brands. It allows higher charging speeds (up to 22kW) where three‑phase supply is available.
3. Tesla specific
Tesla vehicles in North America use a proprietary connector but come with a J1772 adapter. In Europe, Tesla uses the standard Type 2 connector. The VanTon unit works with Tesla via the appropriate plug or adapter, ensuring broad vehicle coverage.
Safety & Usage Notes
Socket and wiring check: confirm the outlet has proper grounding and that the circuit can sustain the selected current continuously. Have a qualified electrician inspect older installations.
Avoid extension cords: standard household extension leads are not rated for prolonged high‑current draw; use only dedicated heavy‑duty cables if necessary.
Weather considerations: although IP55 rated, position the control box and plugs away from standing water or direct rain for maximum longevity.
Vehicle OBC limitation: the actual charging speed is capped by the vehicle's onboard charger – even if the charger outputs 9.6kW, a car with a 6.6kW OBC will only draw 6.6kW.
Regular inspection: check the plug pins and cable insulation for wear every few months, particularly if frequently used outdoors.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging with this device?
A: Level 1 uses a standard 110‑120V household outlet, delivering around 1.4‑1.9kW. Level 2 uses a 220‑240V outlet (up to 32A), delivering 3.5‑9.6kW. The J1771 Portable Tesla Type1 Type2 Electric Vehicle EV Fast Car Charger supports both, automatically adjusting to the available supply.
Q: Can I use this with my Tesla?
A: Yes. For North American Tesla models, use the provided J1772 adapter that comes with your Tesla. For European Tesla models, the Type 2 plug connects directly. The unit is fully compatible with Tesla's onboard charging system.
Q: Does it work with three‑phase 400V systems?
A: This portable charger is designed for single‑phase operation (110‑240V). For three‑phase 400V AC charging, a dedicated wallbox is required. However, most household and workplace outlets are single‑phase, which this unit handles perfectly.
