AplysiaTech Level 1 Tesla Charger – Portable 110V Home Charging Review

The AplysiaTech Level 1 EV Charger for Tesla is a compact, portable charging solution designed exclusively for Tesla vehicles using the NACS connector. It is built for owners who want a reliable backup charger or a simple overnight charging option using a standard household outlet.

Charging Power & Real-World Speed

This charger operates on a standard NEMA 5-15 (110V) outlet and delivers up to:

• 15A / 1.65 kW maximum output
• Approximately 4–6 miles of range per hour

While it is not intended for fast charging, customer feedback confirms it performs consistently and is well-suited for overnight top-ups or daily short commutes. Many users describe it as an excellent “set-and-forget” solution.

Tesla-Only Native NACS Design

Unlike universal J1772 chargers, this model is designed exclusively for Tesla vehicles:

• Native NACS connector (no adapter required)
• Compatible with Model Y, Model 3, Model S, and Model X

The connector includes Tesla-style wireless charging door control, allowing users to open the charge port directly from the handle — a feature Tesla owners expect and appreciate.

Safety, Protection & Build Quality

AplysiaTech places a strong emphasis on electrical safety. The charger includes:

• Anti-leakage and grounding protection
• Over-voltage, over-current, and overheating protection
• Automatic shutdown once charging is complete

The unit is built with high-conductivity copper wiring and a TPE flame-retardant sheath, rated UL 94V-0. With an IP66 waterproof rating, it can safely be used outdoors in rain or snow.

Daily Usability & Portability

Designed for real-world use, the charger includes:

• 21 ft charging cable for flexible parking situations
• Dynamic LED indicators for charging status
• Compact form factor with included carrying bag

This makes it particularly attractive for road trips, visiting family, or keeping in the trunk as a dependable fallback option.

Customer Feedback Summary

Based on verified customer reviews:

• Users consistently report stable charging at ~6 mph
• Praised for solid build quality and reliability
• Frequently described as good value for money

Several owners highlight that while it is slower than Level 2 solutions, it performs exactly as expected for a Level 1 Tesla charger.
