The NEMA 14-30 is a portable Level 2 EV Charger that delivers up to 24 amps (5.7 kW) of power, making it one of the most popular plug-in solutions that takes advantage of existing 240V outlets in your home. It works with all electric vehicles using the J1772 connector, and Tesla drivers can easily connect using a Tesla-to-J1772 adapter.
Choosing the right plug type depends on your outlet setup, charging needs, and installation environment.

Both are 4-prong connectors, but the NEMA 14-30 is a 30-amp outlet (24A max charging), while the NEMA 14-50 is a 50-amp outlet (40A max charging) typical in RV and modern home setups, offering significantly faster charging speed.
If you already have a NEMA 14-30 outlet in the desired location, no—you simply plug in the charger. However, if you need to install the 14-30 outlet, we always recommend professional installation by a certified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
A NEMA 14-30 charger delivers 24 amps of power at 240 volts, resulting in about 14–21 miles of range per hour of charging. This is significantly faster—up to 4 to 6 times quicker—than a standard 120V Level 1 charger, which only adds about 3–5 miles of range per hour.
Yes. While the NEMA 14-30 is limited to a 24-amp charging output, it provides a very reliable Level 2 speed that is sufficient for nearly all overnight charging needs. It can fully recharge most EVs from empty in 8 to 12 hours. As long as you charge overnight, this speed remains highly effective.
