Can I use my Project EV charger without the app?
With plug and charge, simply connect your vehicle to a Project EV charger, and your charging cycle will begin. You do not require any additional software or applications to control your EV charge point. However, like any piece of electrical equipment, EV chargers require regular maintenance to keep them in good working order. Maintaining the charging system will reduce downtime, extend the lifespan of the unit, and ensure it’s always working safely to charge vehicles when users need it.While many modern EV chargers require an app for optimal functionality, some allow basic charging without one. For those preferring a more straightforward approach, it’s important to identify chargers that support plug-and-play options.Grizzl-E Ultimate EVSE is the most powerful AC Level 2 EVSE for home use. With a maximum current of 80A 19. W, your vehicle is charged up to 2x as fast as a standard Level 2 EVSE and up to 14x faster than a Level 1. Available with J1772 or NACS output cable.Key Takeaways. Most new Level 2 EV chargers run at 40 or 48 amps. This is fast enough to fully charge almost any EV within 5-10 hours. Slower chargers can make sense.

What is the lifespan of a Project EV charger?
The expected service life of an EV charger depends on several factors, including the charger’s quality, usage patterns, maintenance, and technological advancements. On average, a well-maintained and high-quality EV charger can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Electric car batteries typically last 10–20 years, depending on climate, driving habits, and charging practices. Most automakers guarantee at least 70% capacity for 8–10 years or 100,000 miles under warranty (opens in a new tab) . California extends that warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles.As EVs get older, the batteries progressively degrade. It is expected that at around 75% of the battery’s original capacity, it has reached the end of its life in an EV. In reality what this means is that if the car was sold with 400 km driving range, at the end of its useful life it could be down to around 300 km.
