The 8 Best Electric Vehicle Chargers for Powering Up Your Ride

The JuiceBox has a lot going for it and wins our top spot for best features and overall design. It offers adjustable 40-amp capacity, has integrated cord storage, and a locking security mechanism. We also appreciate app-control via built-in Wi-Fi, so there’s no need to mess with ethernet cables or SIM cards.

The app monitors battery status, gives estimated charge times, sets amperage, and schedules future usage. Another plus is that you can pair it with an Amazon Echo device to easily activate it using voice commands in your home.

Power can be supplied by either a 14-50 plug, or a hardwire kit option. The charger is weatherproofed, Energy Star-certified, and includes a three-year warranty.

This wall-mounted box has a clean and modern look that's low- profile enough to fit on any space where your car is parked. It's also weather-resistant, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged in the rain or snow. The charging station comes with an adjustable outlet that satisfies three different amperages.

The EvoCharge is manufactured in the United States, and includes a three-year factory warranty. The standard charging c0rd only spans 18 feet, but there's a 25-foot version available for about $200 extra. Another upgrade option is Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows the user to control charging remotely via the EvoCharge mobile app.

The ChargePoint Home Flex EV charger boasts some of the most impressive charging speed on the market, rated up to 50 amps, but there is one catch. Versions are sold that include both NEMA 6-50 and 14-50 plugs, but the system needs to be hardwired in order to access the highest speeds. Using either plug, the charger is locked at 40 amps max, which is still solid performance.

There is very little in the way of display or controls on the body of the Home Flex. All that is handled by the ChargePoint smartphone app, which connects over Wi-Fi. Using the app, you can set charge speed, schedule ahead of time, and look at estimated dollar costs for its power consumption. You also get a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The Wallbox Pulsar packs plenty of features into a small package, including smartphone controls through both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. When not connected to a network, the base can auto-optimize charge settings.

Multiple versions of the Pulsar can even wirelessly sync to each other, allowing two or more vehicles to charge efficiently at once without the risk of tripping circuit breakers. It boasts a 40-amp max output, and can be throttled down to 16 amps.

The device is also weather-resistant and watertight, with a three-year manufacturer warranty.

This rudimentary electric vehicle charger comes with a 240-volt dryer plug, as well as an adapter to fit it to any grounded 120-volt household outlet. Additional features are lacking, but it does come with a 25-foot cord in case you need to reach a long distance from your power source.

It’s also weather-resistant, which is something we want out of any long-term charging source. The only display is a control box with LED indicators to keep you updated on the charging status.

Current is limited at only 16 amps, which means bigger batteries won't charge quickly, even with a 240-volt connection. This device is best suited to lower range EVs and plug-in hybrids.

This 40-amp electric vehicle charger comes not only with a cutesy name, but with a convenient mounting kit to tidily stow its 24-foot cord on a garage wall. Both 6-50 and 14-50 plugs are available, along with white, black, and camo color options. It’s rated not only for weather resistance, but also fire resistance and surge protection.

The Canadian manufacturer provides a three-year service warranty. The Grizzl-E box comes with no display other than a single power indicator, but thankfully selects the correct amperage output automatically. Other automated features include a shut-off function in cases of extreme temperature, and one that allows it to resume charging once power is restored after an outage.

This thin wall-mounted electric vehicle charger sports a sleek matte black finish.

The low-profile body does mean that there are only a few LEDs for display options. The commercial version of HQ-150 can connect to the internet through either cable or an optional SIM card. The retail model, however, is missing this functionality.

Amperage peaks at 32, and can automatically adjust itself for smaller batteries. The body is weather- and heat-resistant, operating in temperatures from -22 degrees Fahrenheit all the way up to 122 degrees. If you purchase this product, Blink throws in a one-year warranty against defects.

This simple Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging kit could be very convenient for trips on the road, when a dedicated charging station may not be accessible. It comes with a small duffel bag to hold the charge port and cords, making it easily stowed away in the vehicle’s storage compartment. Power is supplied by either a NEMA 6-20 outlet, or a 120V household outlet using the included adapter.

The compact nature of this kit does however limit charging capacity, which caps out at 16 amps. This device charges slower than home systems, and much slower while using the 120V plug. While traveling, slow power is still better than no power at all. A two-year defect warranty is also included with purchase.
