[Amazon.ca] AmazonBasics 32 Amp Level 2 EV Charging Station $514.38

Deal Link:: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07HKW ... &psc=1
Price:: 514.38
Retailer:: Amazon.ca

18 foot cable, NEMA 4 rating. 1 year warranty.

I've been watching EV Charging stations for a while. This is the best price for a high quality UL certified (non sketchy) 32 amp charging station that I have seen. It is a rebranded LITE-ON, there is also a PowerCharge version of the same charger with a longer cable and 3 year warranty on Amazon for $600. This one dropped from $600 yesterday. Just ordered.

It's a NEMA 6-50 outlet rather than your standard household 110v 1-15 outlet. They look similar, but they're not physically compatible without an adapter.

Yes, but I believe that the Model 3 comes with with the correct adapter. This EV charger uses the North American standard SAE J1772. This video shows you how to use it (it's in the glovebox, it seems?):

if this is installed outside, make sure the cable stays flexible at low temperatures. extremely annoying to have a stiff cable, difficult to manage an place back on charger

I need a Qi version of this charger.....you drive your car onto the pad until the charger beeps that you have the right position.

I'd be careful with such an investment: consider buying something more reliable unless you want surprises... so far amazonbasics hasn't worked well for me. You can expect the quality as what the name says...

Think of it as “gas pump at your house that sells quarter-price gas”. Depends how much you drive but savings add up quickly and it’s damn convenient.

I wonder where it is made and who the oem manufacturer is. With a one year warranty its probably cheap Chinese junk and will fail when you need it the most.

Other option (Ontario) is buying from Costco or Autochargers.ca with the 25% energy savings rebate (likely to expire VERY soon)

Costco example of 32A Sun Country Highway (Clipper Creek) with 25' cable length for a total price of $647.49 below

Yikes. I wonder if EV's are set to be the Lightning/micro usb/usb-c connectivity thing all over again. smh
