ROCGO Level 2 EV Charger: Smart and Efficient Charging for Your Electric Vehicle

Update on Dec. 15, 2024, 5:57 p.m.

As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly popular, the demand for efficient and convenient charging solutions rises. While public charging infrastructure continues to expand, home charging remains the most practical option for many EV owners. The ROCGO Level 2 EV Charger offers a compelling solution with its blend of high-power output, smart features, and robust design, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a seamless and reliable home charging experience.
 ROCGO Level 2 EV Charger 48 Amp

Overview

The ROCGO Level 2 EV Charger is a 48 Amp charger that delivers up to 11.5 kW of power, significantly faster than a standard Level 1 charger that plugs into a regular household outlet. This translates to shorter charging times and more time on the road. With its smart app control, durable construction, and comprehensive safety features, the ROCGO charger is designed to integrate seamlessly into your EV lifestyle.

Design Philosophy - Efficiency, Safety, and User Experience

ROCGO developed this charger with a focus on three core principles:

  • Efficiency: Maximize charging speed to minimize downtime.
  • Safety: Prioritize user and vehicle safety through rigorous standards and protective mechanisms.
  • User Experience: Provide an intuitive and convenient charging experience with smart features and a user-friendly interface.

High Power and Fast Charging - Minimizing Downtime

The ROCGO charger’s 48 Amp output delivers up to 11.5 kW of power, substantially exceeding the 1.4 kW typically offered by a Level 1 charger. This higher power output translates to significantly faster charging times. For instance, an EV with a 60 kWh battery that might take over 40 hours to charge with a Level 1 charger could be fully charged in under 6 hours using the ROCGO Level 2 charger.

Understanding Charging Speed: It’s important to remember that actual charging speed is influenced by several factors, including the vehicle’s onboard charger capacity, the battery’s state of charge, and environmental conditions. However, a Level 2 charger like the ROCGO significantly reduces charging time compared to a Level 1 charger.

Intelligent App Control - Personalized and Convenient Charging

The ROCGO charger elevates the charging experience with its intelligent app control. By connecting to the charger through the ROCGO app, users can:

  • Monitor Charging Status: Track real-time charging progress, view session history, and estimate time to full charge. This feature provides valuable insights into your charging patterns and helps you plan your trips effectively.

  • Schedule Charging Sessions: Optimize your charging schedule by setting charging sessions during off-peak hours when electricity rates may be lower, potentially leading to cost savings.

  • Remote Control: Start or stop charging remotely, providing flexibility and control over your charging process. This is particularly useful for managing charging sessions while you’re away from home.

  • Set Current Limits: Adjust the charging current to match your specific electrical setup and vehicle requirements. This feature allows for customization and ensures compatibility with different electrical systems.

Wide Compatibility - Charging for Today’s and Tomorrow’s EVs

The ROCGO charger utilizes the J1772 connector, the industry standard for most EVs in North America. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of electric vehicles, including Tesla models with an adapter. By adhering to this standard, ROCGO ensures that its charger remains relevant and compatible with current and future EV models.

J1772 Explained: The J1772 connector is a standardized charging plug used by most electric car manufacturers in North America. It provides a safe and reliable connection between the charging station and the vehicle, ensuring compatibility and interoperability.

Multiple Safety Certifications - Charging with Confidence

Safety is a top priority in EV charging, and the ROCGO charger meets rigorous standards to provide peace of mind. It has obtained FCC and ROHS certifications, demonstrating compliance with electrical safety and environmental regulations. Furthermore, the charger incorporates multiple protection mechanisms:

  • Overcurrent Protection: Prevents excessive current flow, safeguarding your vehicle and electrical system from potential damage.

  • Overvoltage Protection: Protects against voltage spikes that can harm the vehicle’s battery and electronics.

  • Overtemperature Protection: Continuously monitors the charger’s operating temperature and automatically shuts down if it exceeds safe limits, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards.

  • Leakage Current Protection: Detects and interrupts current leakage to prevent electric shock, ensuring user safety during charging sessions.

These safety features are crucial for providing a reliable and worry-free charging experience.

Durable and Weatherproof Design - Built for Long-Term Reliability

The ROCGO charger is engineered to withstand various environmental conditions. With an IP65 waterproof rating, it is protected from dust and water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. This durability ensures that the charger can withstand the elements and provide reliable performance for years to come.

Easy Installation - Get Charging Quickly

The ROCGO charger is designed for user-friendly installation. The wall-mountable unit comes with a 25-foot cable and is compatible with the standard NEMA 14-50 outlet, commonly used for electric ranges and dryers in North America. This compatibility eliminates the need for complex wiring and allows for quick and easy setup.

Understanding NEMA 14-50: The NEMA 14-50 outlet is a 240-volt outlet that provides more power than a standard 120-volt household outlet. This higher voltage is essential for Level 2 charging, enabling faster charging speeds.
