These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.

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

Home Flex is set at install to match your circuit, anywhere from 16 to 50 amps, with ChargePoint publishing the circuit-to-load table. This hardwired J1772 version can reach the 50-amp maximum, which needs a 70 or 80-amp circuit, and it is the configuration ChargePoint points to for outdoor mounting.

Published specifications

  • Guide: 50A max load on an 80A or 70A circuit; 48A on 60A; 40A on 50A; 16A on 20A

  • Guide: mount centre 39-43 in above the floor; Wi-Fi signal required at the location
  • Guide: 3-year parts exchange warranty, original purchaser, single-family residence

Strengths

  • Maker publishes the full circuit-rating to maximum-load table, so sizing is checkable
  • Wide operating temperature range, down to -40°F at settings up to 48 amps
  • Hardwiring unlocks the 60, 70 and 80-amp circuit ratings a plug cannot use

Caveats

  • Warranty excludes on-site labour to uninstall or reinstall the station
  • No enclosure NEMA or IP rating appears in the guide or product page we read
  • Some app functions and troubleshooting need Wi-Fi at the charger's location
