Our verdict
For a Tesla or another NACS-port car in a home whose panel is close to full, this is one of the simplest ways to get load management. It is Schneider Charge with a J3400 (NACS) plug: Schneider’s guides cover both versions and list the plug as the only difference, so it keeps SmartAmp load management, certified to UL 3141, with the two current transformers in the box. The charger slows down while other big loads run, and load monitoring doesn’t depend on Wi-Fi.
It is hardwired only, at up to 48 A through a 25 ft cable. The installer sets the maximum current by choosing the breaker size in the eSetup app; a 60 A circuit is recommended for full output, and the guide says not to use a GFCI breaker. SmartAmp covers service panels of 200 A or less.
The catch is the plug. Schneider’s homeowner guide says not to use a converter or extension between the charger and the car, so a household that also charges a J1772-port car should buy the J1772 model. The warranty is three years and the rated range stops at -22°F. It is certified to US and Canadian standards, but we track one US store for it so far, and none in Canada yet.

Schneider Charge NACS questions
Can Schneider Charge NACS charge a car with a J1772 port?
Not with a converter. Schneider’s homeowner guide says not to use a converter, extension cable or extension cord between the charging cable and the car. For J1772-port cars, Schneider sells the J1772 version (EVRBA48ANAMJ1772), which is otherwise the same charger, with the same load management and install requirements.
Does Schneider Charge NACS need a GFCI breaker?
No. Schneider’s installation guide says not to put it on a GFCI breaker, because the charger has its own ground-fault protection. It goes on a dedicated circuit that no other appliance shares, and your electrician follows the manual and the code edition adopted where you live.
What breaker does Schneider Charge NACS need?
Schneider recommends a 60 A circuit for the full 48 A. The installer can choose a smaller breaker size in the eSetup app, which lowers the maximum current to match: a 50 A breaker gives 40 A and a 40 A breaker gives 32 A. A licensed electrician sizes the dedicated circuit to the local code.
