What home charger does the Subaru Uncharted need?
| Model years | Trims | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-2027 | all trims | 48 A | 60 A |
The Subaru Uncharted takes a 48 A charger on a 60 A breaker. It accepts 11.0 kW on AC in both the 2026 and 2027 models.
Why 48 amps and not more
This is a compact, efficient crossover, and it charges quickly at home: 43 miles of range per hour at 48 A. A 40 A charger brings that to 36, which is still brisk. A charger above 48 A changes nothing, because the car limits its own intake.
Charging time by model year
| Year | EPA range | Level 2, miles per hour | Level 2, empty to full | 120 V, miles per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | 273 to 308 mi | 43 | 7.2 h | 5.6 |
| 2026 | 273 to 308 mi | 43 | 7.2 h | 5.6 |
Level 2 figures assume a charger that supplies the car's full rate. Where a year shows a range, it spans that year's trims.
The 2026 and 2027 models match at the plug. Each has 273 to 308 miles of range and fills from empty in about 7.2 hours, so a full charge fits well inside one night. A used 2026 and a new 2027 need identical equipment.
What it costs to charge at home
At the U.S. average residential rate of 18.19¢ per kWh, the 2027 Subaru Uncharted costs 4.7 to 5.4¢ a mile to charge at home. A full charge from empty comes to about $14 to $15, and 37 miles a day to about $53 to $60 a month. EPA measures energy use at the wall, so the energy lost while charging is already counted. Rates run from 12.36¢ in North Dakota to 46.28¢ in Hawaii, and the cost guide has every state.
What the install involves
Plan for a permit and an inspection on the new 240 V circuit. The electrician will fit a 60 A breaker and hardwire the charger, since no standard receptacle is rated for 48 A. If your panel is short on room, the car's efficiency makes a 40 A charger on a NEMA 14-50 outlet and a 50 A breaker a very reasonable choice.
- 48 A charger: 60 A breaker, hardwired, because no household receptacle is rated for a 48 A charger.
- Dryer outlet: a 4-prong NEMA 14-30 on a 30 A breaker can run a 24 A charger. That adds about 22 miles of range per hour to the 2027 Subaru Uncharted, or 220 in a 10-hour night. What to check first.
- Charge port: J1772. From 2025 the industry is moving to the NACS port, and makers switch at different times. Some of these cars have a J1772 port and some have NACS with an adapter, so look at the port on your own car before choosing a charger's plug.
Chargers that fit the Subaru Uncharted
Smallest adequate unit first. Every amp above what the car accepts is capacity it never uses.
Energy monitoring built in. Hardwire it for the full 48 A.
Compact unit, good for tight garages.
Adjustable from 16 A to 50 A in the app, which helps if your panel is tight.
