Autel, a Chinese company long known for making solid automotive supplies and diagnostic tools (and drones<\/a>) recently jumped into the residential EV charger market with its MaxiCharger<\/a> ($459). As an auto company with technology in its DNA, we hoped to see some innovation. And we did \u2013 but not where we expected.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Like most EV chargers, Autel\u2019s MaxiCharger comes in a big heavy cardboard box. Autel\u2019s internal packaging is sadly not biodegradable but uses reusable velcro straps holding the wiring in place. It comes fully assembled, so you don\u2019t have to connect cables or screws like with other EV chargers.<\/p>\n

Installing Autel MaxiCharger<\/h2>\n

Installing the MaxiCharger is incredibly straightforward. You simply put the metal plate on the wall where you want the charger, drill two holes and put in some screws. Obviously, you\u2019ll want to find the wood studs behind drywall or use a masonry bit if drilling into cinderblocks\/bricks or similar. Once the plate is on the wall, you simply hang the charging unit on the plate, and it locks in pretty solidly. The flipside to the easy install is that it is also relatively easy to steal if located outside. <\/p>\n
