| Spec | Espen EVC/A48X2 | Leviton EV48S-DP | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official maximum output powerThe official maximum output power published on the ENERGY STAR certified AC-output EVSE record, in kilowatts. It is the certified nameplate figure, not a charging speed we measured at a vehicle. In this category the reference range is 12 kW to 19.2 kW. Official figures above 19.2 kW are clamped at the reference best so a rare dual-output 38.4 kW record does not dominate the ranking. | 23.04 kW | 23.04 kW | 30% |
| Official maximum output cord lengthThe official maximum output cord length published on the ENERGY STAR record, in feet. A record of 0 ft is shown as 0 ft and usually means the certified unit is an inlet or socket without a factory cable. We do not guess a cable length from retailer listings. Official lengths above 30 ft are clamped at the 30 ft reference best. | 25 ft | 25 ft | 25% |
| Official no-vehicle-mode input powerThe official no-vehicle-mode input power published on the ENERGY STAR record, in watts. Lower official standby power is better. This is a certified laboratory figure for the charger when no vehicle is connected, not a bill we measured at a house panel. | 5.29 W | 5.29 W | 25% |
| Official network capabilityOfficial network capability on the ENERGY STAR record, recorded as yes or no when the field is filled in. This is the certified network-capability flag, not a test of the maker's app. If the field is blank it is shown as Not listed. | Yes | Yes | 20% |
