So easy to install, set up and start charging.

What can I say,

Order received quickly, lots of videos to help with installation and set up.

Electrician loved the room to pass the cables,

Took 10 minutes to set up and start charging.

Really like the software, gives me a good idea of the cost on my electric bill.

Just happy with the charger

AC Elite Home 50A 12 Kw EV charger

Very good looking charger, easy to handle. App co.es with it's also very useful. I had an issue with wifi connectivity ( charger goes offlineand need to be wake up with Bluetooth connection), but the customer Support was extremely helpful and the last update correct the issue. Bought it at the end December ( was on special ) and used to charge my Ioniq 5. Until now, I'm very satisfied. Thanks Autel

Hi Valentin,

Autel MaxiCharger AC Elite Home 50A EV Charger

I purchased the Autel MaxiCharger AC Elite Home 50A charging station and had it installed during the month of June 2024. After pairing it with the app on my cell phone, no network was detected. At first, I thought the terminal was defective, but after purchasing a Wifi range extender (Linksys RE7000), the terminal displayed several networks, including my own. I connected to my network and it worked. Since then, I've been using my app, and I have to say that it's really well designed and user-friendly. When I thought my charging point was faulty, I contacted Autel customer service and was really well served; I didn't wait long for someone to get back to me and the person was really courteous and kind. She was even willing to change my charging point, which I thought was faulty. Once my charging station was connected to my Wifi network, I called Autel's technical support team back to get some explanations on how to use the application, and they were very patient with me. I highly recommend this product. Thank you to the Autel staff for their warm welcome and service.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you're satisfied with the Autel MaxiCharger and our customer service. Your recommendation means a lot to us. If you ever need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

Works great

Install was easy and straight forward. I did hire an electrician to do the install. I am an amateur electrician and after watching him do it. I am confident I could do it if I ever need to again. It looks nice, the cord is ample and the machine works great. The app is constantly improving and works great.

We appreciate your positive review! It's wonderful to know that you found the installation process easy and that you're satisfied with the performance of the machine as well as the app. Thanks for choosing our product!

Pretty good EV charger

I got the hardwired version so I can use the full 11.5kw limit supported by most cars today.

The app and hardware are both done quite well. Installed the charger on my own without any issues - quite simple.

I like the ability to hard-limit to 48A instead of 50A, as I've a 60A breaker.

Definitely recommend this charger.

Thank you for the positive review and recommendation! We're very glad to hear that you're satisfied with our app and hardware and that the installation process was straightforward for you. Your support means a lot to us. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or need further assistance. Thanks again for your review!

Very good charger, app and great customers service!

I was worried by the original cable being too stiffed during cold weather, but the new one they are now offered has very improved! At -10C it’s still flexible 🙂

I’m using it to charge my Vinfast Vf8 car.
Thank you Autel!

Dear customer, we're thrilled to hear that you're satisfied with our charger, app, and customer service. We appreciate your feedback regarding the flexibility of the cable in cold weather. Thank you for choosing Autel to support your Vinfast Vf8 car charging needs.

Fast Charger.

50A charger makes this one of the faster level 2 you can install in your home. Just remember that your breaker should be rated for 125% of this amperage. But our car charges so much faster than our neighbors with Tesla level 2 chargers.

Thanks for the feedback! We're thrilled our 50A charger is working well for you. Safety and efficiency are our top priorities. Correct breaker rating is important for proper functioning. Keep enjoying the faster charging times!

Best, Team Autel Energy

Red Dot Design Award

The design of the charger is impressive, and I am eagerly awaiting its installation by an electrician. I have included some photos of the internals in this review. Once I have had a chance to use the charger, I will provide an update. Many electricians and EV car manufacturers recommend hardwiring the charger. It's important to check with your local government as some places require a certified electrician for installation.

Thank you for your review! We're glad you appreciate the design of our charger. It's great to hear that you're being thorough with your installation process. We're keen to hear your thoughts once you've had a chance to use the charger. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us. Enjoy your EV charging experience!

Good so far

Had this professionally installed. Looks good. It's mounted outdoors and seems sufficiently weatherproof.
Charges much faster than our level 1 trickle charger. The app is good and allows for timed charging based on the utilities' time of use rates.

Fast charger

The best car charger. Fast level 2 charger. Long, 25 feet charging hose.
There was only one issue that it had to be connected to the Ethernet port for the firmware update after it was installed on the outside wall. So I had to run long Ethernet cable from my router to the charger. After the firmware was updated then I was able to connect the charger to the Wi-Fi.

Hello, thank you for your review on our EV charger! Regarding your experience with the Ethernet connection requirement for firmware updates, we want to clarify that our chargers are designed to offer more convenience. You shouldn't have needed to initially connect via Ethernet for updates. Instead, after installation, you can simply download our app to configure the network settings directly through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, making updates hassle-free :)

Does the job.

Nice long plug cord so it doesn’t matter which side of the driveway I park.
