The issue is that the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that a continuous load should not exceed 80% of the rating of electrical equipment. This means that a NEMA 14-50 receptacle with a 50A breaker and 8GA THHN is fine for a 50A intermittent load like a welder but is only is good for a continuous load of 40A. The NEC defines a continuous load as any electrical draw expected to run continuously for 3 hours or longer. Examples include EV chargers, pool pumps, and electric space heaters.
Community Reviews
This WOLFBOX 50 amp J1772 charger stands out as a basic but capable Level 2 home EVSE with a 25 foot cable, smart scheduling, and a plug or hardwired setup. The housing is bulky and visually awkward for indoor mounting, but the app is described as bare bones rather than complicated. Certification is the main concern, since it is CSA certified rather than UL certified, though the CSA label is also described as testing to UL standards. The 14 50 plug setup may need derating to 40 amps continuous, so hardwiring looks cleaner for full output.
Common Questions (5)
It is CSA certified rather than UL certified. CSA and UL are both recognized testing labs that test to the same UL standards, but the missing UL mark is still a concern for some buyers on a high-power charger.
Yes, and hardwiring avoids some of the breaker and GFCI nuisance-trip issues that can happen with plug-in installs. It also lets the charger run at higher continuous output without the 14-50 plug's 40A continuous limit.
A NEMA 14-50 plug is rated for 50A maximum, but continuous charging is limited to 80% of that, or about 40A. That is why plug-in EVSEs are typically configured for 40A continuous, while 50A continuous is reserved for hardwired installs.
Yes. 25 feet is commonly treated as the maximum practical length and is also cited as the NEC limit, with 16-20 feet described as the more typical working range.
The coupon appears to apply only to the hardwired version, not the NEMA 14-50 version. The 50A model reportedly includes both hardwire and NEMA plug options, but the NEMA setup must be derated when used on a plug.

Bulky for indoor too, but I think it's a good price for the capabilities.
I wouldn't trust the "cloud app" to work for more than a few years. These things need to work on a LAN.
What kinda complaint is this? The option to avoid gasoline, and this is your mindset.
If you are staying within code, it's going to be better to hardwire it nowadays simply because these things absolutely hate GFCI circuits.

Yes, it's bulky, and probably one of the ugliest things to mount to a RESIDENTIAL building. There's no reason for this thing to be so large. There is no conversion happening in a Level 2 EVSE - it doesn't need to be nearly 2 feet tall, over a foot wide, and stick out of the wall a foot.
My factory EVSE is 2 inches thick and maxes out a NEMA 14-50 circuit. I'd like an exterior wall mount unit for visitors to use, but they don't need to be so big. Nor "cloud connected" of course - that's just planned obsolescence. I guess that's already a given with J1772 though.

I guess that's the point I was trying to make
UL does 2 things.
1- write a test standard
2 - perform testing
A few years back, there was some major concern with the electric code requiring a private company (UL) to test stuff. So, they made a deal. UL would publish the test specs as a non-profit action and perform the testing as a profit action. Other companies, if properly recognized, would test to the same standard.
ETL and CSA perform the same test as UL, but frequently cheaper. They are recognized by the US National Electric Code as valid test agencies. UL testing is still the gold standard because of name recognition, but they all test to the same UL standard.
So, there is nothing fishy. This is normal for cheaper brands.
Now, we can have a whole debate on if CSA testing is as strict or if these chinese companies are lying. Those are worthwhile discussions, but seeing a CSA vs ETL vs UL label just tells you which lab did the testing. They all mean it is tested to the standard on the label.
