Charging port and connector
European EVs (BMW i4, iX and i5; Mercedes EQ models; Audi e-tron and Q4/Q6; Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.Buzz; Porsche Taycan and Macan Electric; Volvo EX and XC Recharge) use J1772 on earlier model years and NACS on newer ones, with manufacturer adapters.
How fast it charges at home
Most charge at up to 11 kW (48 amps) on Level 2; Porsche and some Audi and Mercedes models can take 19.2 kW (80 amps) with a compatible charger. Plug-in hybrids from these brands charge at 3.7 to 7.4 kW.
Manufacturer and universal chargers
Each brand sells or recommends a wall box, and any hardwired 48-amp unit performs the same. Porsche and Audi 19.2 kW owners need an 80-amp charger on a 100-amp circuit to use the full rate.
Installation notes
Progressive installs the brand-supplied wall box when you have one and a universal unit when you do not.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche & Volvo-branded charger?
No. The manufacturer unit works well and is a good choice if you already have it; a universal hardwired charger performs the same and often costs less.
Will my panel handle it?
Usually a 200-amp panel will; many 100-amp panels will not without load management or an upgrade. The load calculation in our assessment answers it, and we quote both options.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
