| Product | Best for | Main strength | Main caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChargePoint Home Flex NEMA 14-50 Plug-In Level 2 EV Charger, J1772 (CPH50-NEMA14-50-L23) | An existing 50-amp 14-50 outlet within about 20 inches of the mounting stud | Plugs into an existing 14-50 outlet and can be moved to another one later | Plugged in it is a 40-amp charger; the 50-amp figure belongs to the hardwired version |
| Emporia Classic Level 2 EV Charger, J1772, White (EMEVSE1) | A hardwired 60-amp circuit, or a 50-amp industrial-grade 14-50 outlet | One unit covers both a 40-amp plug-in and a 48-amp hardwired installation | Full 48 amps needs hardwiring and a 60-amp circuit, not the supplied plug |
| ChargePoint Home Flex Hardwired Level 2 EV Charger, J1772 (CPH50-HARDWIRE-L23) | A hardwired circuit where you want to pick the amperage to suit the panel | Maker publishes the full circuit-rating to maximum-load table, so sizing is checkable | Warranty excludes on-site labour to uninstall or reinstall the station |
| EVIQO EVIPOWER J1772 48A Hardwired Level 2 EV Charger | A hardwired 60-amp circuit, or a 70-amp one if you want the 50-amp setting | Maker publishes the whole circuit-to-amperage table with switch positions | Reaching 50 amps means opening the unit to move an internal switch |
| EVIQO EVIPOWER J1772 40A NEMA 14-50 Plug-In Level 2 EV Charger | An existing EV-graded NEMA 14-50 outlet on a dedicated 50-amp circuit | Plugs into an existing 14-50 outlet, so it can move with you | EVIQO's FAQ says no electrician is needed while its guide asks for permits and code compliance |
| EVIQO EVIPOWER NACS 48A Hardwired Level 2 EV Charger | A Tesla or other NACS car on a hardwired 60-amp circuit | NACS connector charges Teslas directly, with a charge-port button on the handle | J1772 cars need a NACS-to-J1772 adapter, which is not included |
