We pored over specs, scoured customer reviews, and charged dozens of EVs to find the home chargers that offer the best features and most value.
The Classic doesn't have Wi-Fi connectivity or a smartphone app, and you can't use it to track your energy consumption and costs, or schedule charging during set times of the day. We think that simplicity is a selling point, rather than a shortcoming, as Wi-Fi-enabled smart chargers are overkill for the average driver. The apps are often clunky, and the key selling point—programming charging to start at a certain time—duplicates a feature built into most EVs.
The Grizzl-E's basic design lacks the curves of the competition for good reason. While most home charging stations are made of plastic, Grizzl-E's Classic is built around an aluminum enclosure. That makes it an especially smart choice for anyone installing one outdoors, where extreme temperatures and sunlight quickly age plastic.
Grizzl-E sells the classic with either a NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 plug, which means homeowners with an existing 240-volt outlet in the garage and basic DIY skills can install it without hiring an electrician. Alternatively, either unit can also be hardwired by a professional.The Tesla Wall Connector is a masterpiece of industrial design that's as functional as it is beautiful.
Note that the unit pictured here is Tesla's J1772 Wall Connector for non-Tesla vehicles. The version with Tesla's proprietary charging port is white but otherwise visually identical. We like the J1772 Wall Connector so much, we considered naming it our top pick for all EV drivers, but the price keeps us from giving it that full endorsement. Tesla charges a hefty premium to anyone buying its home charging station to power a Ford, Hyundai, Chevrolet, or any other competitor's EV.
