EVIQO Level 2 EV Charger — 40A WiFi (J1772)
…SPEND LESS · EVIQO Level 2 EV Charger — $395.98 · 91
A strong value smart charger: 40A, WiFi app, IP66/NEMA 4 weatherproofing and a 4.7-star average, at a price that undercuts the premium tier. The pick when you want app scheduling without spending $500+.

Autel MaxiCharger — 40A WiFi + Bluetooth (J1772)
…SPEND MORE (+$28) · Autel MaxiCharger — $446.50 · 78
A well-built 40A smart charger with both WiFi and Bluetooth and a flexible 25 ft cable. Capable and cleanly rated, but the review base on this NEMA 14-50 plug variant is still small versus the category leaders.

…CONSIDER · Grizzl-E Classic · 71

Wallbox Pulsar Plus — 40A Level 2 EV charger (J1772, 25 ft)
…CONSIDER · Wallbox Pulsar Plus — $649.99 · 69
Researched as the compact smart-charger pick to replace the delisted Emporia. Wallbox's Pulsar Plus delivers a 40A (9.6kW) Level 2 charge over a J1772 plug, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scheduling to shift charging to off-peak rates. Owners rate it 4.3/5. It's the priciest pick in this category, and the app is most of what you're paying for over a plainer 40A unit.
