But if you’d rather…

ChargePoint Home Flex — up to 50A smart charger (J1772)
…GET THE WINNER · ChargePoint Home Flex — $418.08 · 83
The most established smart-charging ecosystem, with amperage configurable up to 50A and one of the best-regarded scheduling apps. We rate it the pick for app polish and network features; the 4.3-star average reflects some WiFi reliability gripes.
Buy on Amazon
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+.
Buy on Amazon
Autel MaxiCharger — 40A WiFi + Bluetooth (J1772)
…SPEND MORE (+$3) · 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.
Buy on Amazon
Grizzl-E Classic — 40A rugged Level 2 charger (J1772)
…CONSIDER · Grizzl-E Classic · 71
The no-frills durability pick: a die-cast metal enclosure, 40A output and adjustable amperage, with no app to fail. We rate it best for owners who want a set-and-forget charger over connected features.
Price unavailable
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.
