Lectron V-BOX Pro review
A 48-amp J1772 wall unit from the maker of many of the adapters on this site. Its strengths are the app and the choice of plug-in or hardwired; its weakness is a short cable.

Lectron is best known on this site for adapters and portables. The V-BOX Pro is its wall unit: a J1772 charger that can go on a 14-50 now and be hardwired later. We have not tested one; figures come from Lectron's product page, linked at the foot of this page.

Plug-in or hardwired
The two ways to install it
On a NEMA 14-50 (50 A circuit): 40 A x 240 V = 9.6 kW, about 34 miles per hour
Hardwired on a 60 A circuit: 48 A x 240 V = 11.52 kW, about 40 miles per hour
Circuit for 48 A: 48 x 1.25 = 60 A
The same unit covering both is useful if you are renting now or unsure of your panel: plug in today, hardwire later if the load calculation allows. Hardwired vs plug-in.
The cable is the catch
At 16 ft, the V-BOX Pro's cable is the shortest of the wall units on this site; most publish 24 or 25 ft. Measure from the mounting spot to your charge port first, and never add a household extension cord. Cable length guide.
Who should skip it
- Your charge port is more than about 16 ft from the wall.
- You want no app at all. Chargers without an app.
- You want the toughest case. The Grizzl-E Classic's cast-aluminum NEMA 4 / IP67 box is the comparison. V-BOX Pro vs Grizzl-E.
