ApexCharger MACH 2 – 48A Level 2 EV Charger (Professional Review)

The ApexCharger MACH 2 is a high-power, American-designed Level 2 EV charging station built for both home garages and light commercial settings. Its core advantage lies in true multi-vehicle compatibility, robust installation flexibility, and a feature set typically found on higher-priced commercial chargers.

Charging Power & Performance

MACH 2 delivers up to 48 amps (11.5 kW) on a 240V circuit, making it up to 9× faster than Level 1 charging. In practical terms:

• Adds roughly 35–44 miles of range per hour depending on vehicle efficiency
• Supports adjustable amperage for different breaker sizes
• Suitable for overnight full charges on most EVs

Real user feedback indicates consistent performance, with some owners reporting approximately 1 kWh added in about 7 minutes under optimal conditions.

Universal Compatibility (J1772 + Tesla NACS)

Unlike many Level 2 chargers, MACH 2 is designed as a true universal solution:

• Native SAE J1772 connector for all non-Tesla EVs
• Includes the PRO 1 Tesla NACS adapter (no extra purchase required)

This makes MACH 2 compatible with every EV currently sold in the U.S., including Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y, Ford Mach-E, Chevy Bolt, Hyundai IONIQ, VW ID.4, BMW, Audi, and more.

Design, Display & Daily Usability

ApexCharger clearly prioritized user experience. MACH 2 features:

• Large 4.75-inch LED display with standby energy-saving mode
• Breathing light indicator for charging status
• Integrated cable holder for the heavy-duty 30 ft cord

The enclosure is suitable for outdoor installation and engineered to handle harsh weather conditions, making it viable for driveways, parking lots, or shared spaces.

Smart Features & Access Control

MACH 2 supports both True Plug N’ Play and controlled access modes:

• Bluetooth & Wi-Fi connectivity
• Mobile app with usage data and consumer reports
• Two included RFID cards for access control

If access control is not required, users can enable Plug N’ Play and simply charge on connection or via scheduled sessions.

Installation Flexibility & Safety

The charger supports:

• NEMA 14-50 plug with a 50A breaker
• Optional hardwired installation (kit included)

Anti-theft bolts, fittings, and a sturdy mounting frame are included, which is especially valuable for semi-public installations such as apartment garages or shared parking.

Value & Market Position

When compared to similarly equipped units like ChargePoint Home Flex, MACH 2 stands out by including:

• Tesla NACS adapter
• RFID access control
• Longer 30 ft cable

This makes it a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing functionality or charging speed.
