Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox 22kW (Type 2, three-phase)

The Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox 22kW is the three-phase flagship of the AC line - 32A per phase on a 400V connection, Type 2, IP65, with the same built-in Type B residual-current protection and app stack as the 7kW unit. We publish no verified market price: on 2 August 2026 the only Pakistani listing we could open is Acom Distributors (Lahore) at Rs 380,000, "call for order," with no second seller anywhere to check the number against.

Before the price question comes a harder one: whether your car can use this charger at all. Most EVs' onboard AC chargers cap at 7kW or 11kW - plugged into a 22kW wallbox, such a car draws what its onboard charger allows and not a watt more. The 22kW case has to be built on the car's spec sheet, not the charger's.

Specifications

Honest assessment

Pros. Where a genuine three-phase supply and a 22kW-capable car exist, this is a lot of AC charging from a compact IP65 unit - a 60kWh pack in under 3 hours instead of 9. The built-in Type B RCD matters even more at 22kW than at 7kW, because the fault currents and the installation stakes scale with the power. RFID and OCPP compatibility make it usable as a small commercial point - staff cards for a shop or office fleet - which is the plausible Pakistani use case.

Cons. Everything wrong with the 7kW situation, amplified: one importer, no Autel Pakistan, no stated warranty term, "call for order" pricing at Rs 380,000 - the most expensive AC charger on Acom's own shelf, Rs 200,000 above W11Stop's RNR 22kW. The three-phase requirement excludes most homes before the conversation starts, and for many cars the extra Rs 135,000 over the 7kW unit buys charging speed the onboard charger will silently refuse.

Who should buy. A premises with existing three-phase supply, a car (or two) that genuinely accepts 11-22kW AC, and a use pattern - daytime top-ups, shared charging - where 7kW is demonstrably the bottleneck. Everyone else is buying headroom they cannot use.

Pakistan reality check

Three-phase is the gate. This unit needs 400V three-phase at 32A per phase. Most Pakistani domestic connections are single-phase with 2-5kW sanctioned loads; a three-phase upgrade starts around Rs 63,000 in demand-notice charges plus line work, and the sanctioned load behind a 22kW charger is billed forever - Rs 675/kW/month on the domestic ToU band per IESCO's published guide (applied on 50% of sanctioned load or maximum demand, whichever is higher). On commercial premises the tariff category and fixed charges differ again - price the connection before pricing the charger.

The onboard-charger trap, concretely. AC charging speed is set by the car's onboard charger, not the wallbox. Before buying, find the "AC charging" line in your car's spec sheet: if it says 7kW single-phase - as it does for many EVs sold in Pakistan - this unit delivers exactly what the 7kW unit delivers, at a Rs 135,000 premium. If it says 11kW, the 11kW MaxiCharger (Rs 315,000 at the same store) is the honest match.

Grey-import checklist. Same as the whole range: no Autel Pakistan distributor found, so demand the importer's name, written warranty term and honouring party, serial on the invoice, and IEC 62196-2 conformity documentation before payment. For a semi-commercial install, also ask who performs and documents the three-phase electrical work - the built-in RCD does not replace proper earthing and phase protection at the board.

Security. An OCPP/4G-connected charger on commercial premises is a networked device. Researchers compromised a MaxiCharger at Pwn2Own Automotive 2026 (details on the brand hub); isolate it on its own network segment and keep firmware updated.

Price context vs rivals (August 2026)

Live Pakistani listings opened 2 August 2026, 22kW class:

Acom's own shelf offers three cheaper 22kW units, including ABL - a German maker with its own pedigree - at Rs 115,000 less. The Autel's case rests on the built-in Type B RCD, the connectivity stack and the -40C to +55C envelope. If those don't decide it, the same store undercuts it three times, and if 22kW itself is the open question, start with the 7kW page and your car's onboard-charger spec.
