How many watts does a EV Charger (Level 1, 120V) use?

Running watts
1,400 W
Starting watts
1,400 W

A EV Charger (Level 1, 120V) draws a steady 1,400 watts with no meaningful startup surge, since it has no motor to spin up. Technically pluggable, but an EV needs far more total energy than a portable power station carries — not a realistic battery use case.
