Fast 12kW EV Charging
The MaxiCharger AC Elite can deliver up to 12kW at 50A, allowing compatible electric vehicles to charge considerably faster than conventional low-power AC charging solutions.
Actual charging speed depends on the vehicle’s onboard AC charger, electrical installation, configured charger output and available electrical supply.

Smart Charging with the Autel Charge App
Connect the AC Elite to the Autel Charge App to manage and monitor charging directly from your smartphone.
- Start and stop charging
- View real-time charging information
- Schedule charging sessions
- Adjust maximum charging amperage
- Monitor charging activity
- Manage charger settings
Scheduled charging can also help EV owners take advantage of preferred charging periods or off-peak electricity tariffs where available.
__
Adaptive Load Management
The AC Elite supports Adaptive Load Management (ALM) and Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB), allowing charging power to be managed according to available electrical capacity.
This is particularly useful in homes and facilities where an EV charger operates alongside other high-demand electrical equipment. Instead of allocating maximum power to the vehicle at all times, the system can intelligently manage the available load.
__
Flexible Connectivity
The MaxiCharger AC Elite provides multiple communication options for smart charging and integration:
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- Ethernet
- CAN
- RS485
Connected operation enables app functionality, OTA updates, smart energy management and communication between compatible charging equipment.
__
RFID Charging Access
RFID authentication can be used to control who has permission to use the charger. This makes the AC Elite suitable not only for private homes, but also for workplaces, apartment complexes, shared parking facilities and other locations where controlled EV charging access is required.
Note: RFID cards may be sold separately depending on the supplied package.
