Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger up to 40 Amp, NEMA 14-50 Plug, 24 feet Premium Cable, Indoor/Outdoor EV Car Charging Station, Avalanche Edition

I purchased this about 2 years ago for a rav 4 prime. Works great! No problems at all.

Before buying the Grizzl-E charger, I researched the heck out of it because of it being so inexpensive. The simple reason is that it doesnt have all the, Smart features that many of the others have. Since my car has all the information on the screen and in the app, it wasnt necessary to have it displayed on the device. I had the charger installed by a licensed electrician using the Nema 14-50 plug with a dedicated 50 amp circuit and it works perfectly. I set the schedule up in the car and sure-enough, charging started right on-time and completed in 2 hrs. using the 40 amp setting. The case is strong and the wire is thick, but pliable. The plug holster is disappointing. Although it holds the wire, the lip isnt high enough to firmly hold the wire in place. No big deal though.. I replaced it with a small garden hose holder and that works beautifully. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase and appreciate the lower cost and 3 year warranty.

Have had this in service in our garage since October 2022, zero problems. Only quibble is that the screw mounting holes for the car-plug holder are awkwardly positioned, making installation of that element difficult. But mounting of the charger unit itself went very smoothly, and seems quite solid. It was charging our car within a couple of hours of delivery, and no glitches since.

When it worked, it worked just fine. Its everything you would want out of a basic level 2 charger without any of the gimmick smart features the more expensive chargers have. It worked flawlessly for over a year, it even survived a month of constant rain and it still worked through rain and frost, then after the weather became good again, it just stopped functioning and the light on it that tells you the fault didnt work. I filed a warranty claim, customer service got back to me quickly but ignored my claim about none of the lights flashing, I replied, and I havent heard since. According to their own website, theyre supposed to send me a new unit under warranty and because this isnt a fault with the breaker, home wiring, or the car, but theyve been silent. Ill gladly change my review to a 5 star since this is a 5 star product when it works, but it seems like the only way to get these companies to stand by their product is to leave them some negative publicity on their product page. Update 2/23/23 They claim they were delayed due to a Canadian holiday but now theyre shipping me a new unit. I dont know if its because I left a negative review or not, but theyre finally standing by their warranty so Im changing my review to a 5 star like I said since this is a good charger when its not dead.

This charger is UL listed, which was a basic requirement for me. Im not a fan of IoT devices or smart anything. I see them as a security liability as ransomware and cyber crime escalate (not to mention govt surveillance). There are also a lot of reviews of smart chargers where chargers are bricked by a software update, or cant charge while updating, or removes some feature they liked via update. The Grizzl-e doesnt do any of that. You set it up and it just works. The mounting process is easy. The holster is functional and solidly supports the cable and plug using the supplied anchors on drywall. The case is heavy but not in a bad way - more in a this is built to last way. The cable is thick and makes the cord that came on my factory Bolt dual charger look puny. The cable is made to last. Changing output is easy - remove 4 bolts and flip some switches according to the manual. This unit was recently featured in a teardown on Munro Live. They loved the simplicity and added safety of physical fuses. This charger doesnt offer any bells and whistles, but this is a great value for someone who doesnt care about all the data mining and checking on things with your phone and just wants something simple and built to last. Set it up and it just works.

I’ve had this charger for almost a year now and I’m very happy with it. I don’t have a garage and wanted a charger that would perform well in all kinds of weather- especially the cold winter months. This one hasn’t let me down!

Less then two years old and charger stopped charging. Five year warranty but united charger will not honor warranty. Offered a cable for me to pay a electrician hundreds of dollars to install to see if it works. Stay away from this company. Update, finally sent me a replacement charger hope it works.

Great charger. Easy installation and it works as expected. The lack of wifi is really not a big deal since you monitor charging you the app. The setup looks solid and the cable gets all the way to my garage door. Very happy with the purchase.

Well built simple 40 amp EVSE at a good price point. It did not come with the mounting bracket and J1772 holster featured on the manufacturer’s webpage. Since it was drop shipped from the manufacturer not sure why they didn’t include these parts. Disappointed that the manufacturer doesn’t respond to inquiries about the missing parts. Amazon customer support was unable to help either. As pictured, charger can be mounted via the (standard/not metric) 5/16 course threaded holes at each corner of the back of the charger.
