Other 80A chargers?

[MickeyAO]

I would do a deep dive on IF I needed an 80 A EVSE. In my case with a Lariat ER and a KIA EV6 sharing a single 40 A EVSE, the answer is NO, I don't need 80 A.

I have had a few times where I needed/wanted a quick “splash” to get a buffer of miles and having the full 80 FCSP was nice to have.

Given the issues some people have had with the FCSP charging at 80A, it begs the question, are there any other good options?

My charger has operated flawlessly at 80A since it's installation in May of this year. What issues are people having charging at 80 with their FCSP?

There have been a few times I'd have liked to have a 19.2KW charger to top up faster, but the vast majority of the time I get by on a 40A autel unit and will do more than fine on my upcoming upgrade of a 50A autel commercial unit (just adds an LCD).

Still, I hope this helps

First, if you don’t need to charge at 80A, then sure, dial it back down to 60A or 48A or whatever works for your driving habits, and the FCSP should be able to handle that in almost any environment. That works for most people since most people won’t drive enough in one day such that a 60A overnight charge won’t fill It up.

But for those that want/need 80A charging, are there any other good J1772 80A EVSEs out there?
