Our verdict
If you drive a Tesla or another NACS-port EV and want one cord for home and away, this is the Lectron to look at. Two plugs push into the control box: a NEMA 5-15 for an ordinary 120 V outlet, where it charges at 12 A (about 1.44 kW), and a NEMA 14-50 for a 240 V outlet, where it charges at 40 A (about 9.6 kW). The plug you fit sets the current; there's no app and no other setting.
The manual lists a Type 6 control box and a Type 3R connector rated from -22 to 122 °F, built-in CCID20 ground-fault protection, and UL 2231 and UL 2594 as its standards. Lectron's page calls it UL certified, and it's on the ENERGY STAR list with a 16 ft cord. At 8.38 lb it's lighter than Lectron's single-plug 40 A cords, and a wall plate is included.
The catches: nothing between 12 A and 40 A, and no breaker size for either plug in the manual, so have a licensed electrician confirm or install the outlets to the NEC and local codes, as Lectron asks. Never use an extension cord or AC adapter. The two-year warranty appears only as a store-wide badge, and Lectron doesn't state a Canadian safety mark, so we list it for US buyers only.

Lectron Portable Level 1 & 2 Tesla (NACS) EV Charger (12 A / 40 A) questions
How fast does the Lectron Level 1 & 2 NACS charger charge on each plug?
The manual lists 12 A at 120 V (about 1.44 kW) on the NEMA 5-15 plug and 40 A at 208–240 V (about 9.6 kW) on the NEMA 14-50 plug. There is no setting in between: the plug you push into the control box decides the current, and the green light rolls faster at 40 A.
Can I use it with an extension cord?
No. The manual says never to use it with an extension cord or an AC adapter, and never with a damaged power cord or EV cable. Plug it straight into a grounded outlet installed by a licensed electrician to the NEC and local codes.
What does a solid red light mean?
A communication (CP signal) fault between the charger and the car, according to the manual. Check that the car's charge timer allows charging, unplug and reconnect, and contact Lectron support if it continues. Solid yellow is different: it means the supply voltage is too high or too low.
