Well, it CAN have WiFi, the module is extra. With it, you can use your smartphone to program the charger remotely…which is kind of weird since you’re presumably sitting right in front of the charger, but it’s still going to be fun to try out. As for the charger itself, you’re looking at dual outputs (plus a USB), 100 watts total output, and max 10 amp charge rate–plus other stuff, see Hitec’s hype below.
