Grizzl-E Smart Level 2 240V 40A EV Charger - Durable Fast Home

Our review of the Grizzl-E Smart Level 2 240V 40A EV Charger finds it best suited for homeowners and small businesses who want a rugged, reliable home charging station with smart features. The single biggest reason to consider it is the combination of a heavy-duty metal NEMA-4 enclosure and Wi-Fi smart monitoring, which together deliver weatherproof durability and useful energy and schedule controls for everyday electric vehicle charging.

Key Features

• Metal NEMA-4 enclosure: A heavy duty, water-resistant and fire-resistant metal case protects the unit for indoor or outdoor use.
• Smart Connect Wi-Fi: Real-time monitoring, charging schedules and energy statistics are available through the Grizzl-E Connect software for greater control.
• Flexible amperage: Adjustable output from 16A to 40A lets users match charge rate to their home circuit for optimal performance.
• Built-in safety protections: Multiple protections including over current, over voltage, missing diode and ground fault help keep charging safe.
• Portable and easy to install: Plugs into a NEMA 14-50 receptacle or can be hardwired, and the mounting bracket makes removal and transport simple.
• Certification and rebates: UL tested and Energy Star certified, and eligible for federal rebate programs where applicable.

Who It's For

The Grizzl-E Smart Level 2 charger is ideal for EV owners who need a durable, weatherproof station that can live outdoors year round and who want smart monitoring to track energy use and set charging schedules. It suits owners of all EVs and PHEVs sold in North America who want faster daily charging than a standard wall outlet.

It is less appropriate for buyers who prioritize flawless cloud connectivity above all else; some customers report mixed Wi-Fi experience. Also, those who want a wall-mounted plastic enclosure or a much smaller form factor should look elsewhere.

Cons

• Wi-Fi connectivity receives mixed reports from customers, so cloud features may not be consistent for everyone.
