Hello, Does anyone know an intelligent EV charger with the following features:
I have a Tesla Model Y

Must be 48 Amp Level 2
Waterproof for outdoor
With Wifi and app control
Ability to schedule start and end time
Ability to set access list, who can charger and who can't

Tesla Gen3 outdoor charger has access control via app but can't set end charging time
Many other brand charger has good hardware but no wifi

Basically, does anyone know a smart ev charger that is smarter than Telsa Outwall Gen3?

Thank you in advance!

The InsideEVs authority on EVSEs is Tom Moloughney. Check out his videos on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney

Or you could use the Inbox at the top of this page and start a conversation with him (enter "Tom Moloughney") to ask if there's a consumer-level EVSE that supports valid user lists.
 
That's not true. You can set start time and end time both for charging Tesla with Tesla wall connector.
Infact that's one of extra advantage if you have Gen 3 TWC. You just use Tesla app and add TWC to app, then you can set both start time ad end time.
Here's how you can do: https://evchargersguide.com/tesla-off-peak-charging/#Exception_of_Tesla_Wall_Connector

However its true that default Tesla car side settings don't allow this, but charger side settings allow.
 
Hello,

I recommend checking out the ChargePoint Home Flex. It offers the features you're looking for:

1. 48 Amp Level 2 Charging: Yes, it supports up to 50 amps.
2. Waterproof for Outdoor Use: Yes, it is designed for outdoor installation.
3. WiFi and App Control: Yes, it has WiFi connectivity and a comprehensive app for control.
4. Ability to Schedule Start and End Time: Yes, you can schedule charging sessions.
5. Access Control: Yes, you can set an access list for who can use the charger.

Additionally, the JuiceBox 48 is another great option that meets your criteria:

1. 48 Amp Level 2 Charging: Yes, supports up to 48 amps.
2. Waterproof for Outdoor Use: Yes, designed for outdoor use.
3. WiFi and App Control: Yes, includes WiFi and a mobile app.
4. Ability to Schedule Start and End Time: Yes, scheduling is supported.
5. Access Control: Yes, it has access control features.

Both of these options are more feature-rich than the Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 and should suit your needs well.

I thought the max current a plug-in EVSE could deliver was 40 Amps, but Tessery says their plug-in EVSE can pump out 48 Amps. How did they do that?

My Tesla Universal wall charger requires a 60 A circuit. Recommended 80% load becomes:

80% * 60 A = 48 A​

Correct. The Tesla Universal charger needs a 60 A circuit but limits the charge current to 48 A. My two EVs support:
  • 31 A - 2019 Model 3
  • 30 A - 2017 BMW i3-REx
I already have a NEMA 14-50 powering a JuiceBox 40 Pro but the vendor has abandoned support (and configuration) in North America. The Tesla Universal charger has a load-sharing capability between units to limit total charge current to whatever and when I want.

I sold my TSLA stock to buy a solar roof. Between the Model 3, Time of Day charging, and the Tesla Universal charger, I will charge either car during the day, the peak solar charging period. As much as possible, excess solar power will be saved in the car batteries. If there is any left over, it goes into the solar battery backup for night access.
