Compatibility

Invest in a Level 2 home charger that can keep up with your EV. As EV battery ranges continue to grow, EVs require longer charging sessions to fully charge. A Level 2 home charger will power up your EV even faster.

Protect your investment with a station that is UL Listed for safety and ENERGY STAR® Certified for efficiency. Choosing an ENERGY STAR-certified station ensures your EV uses 40% less power than a non-certified charger during critical downtime.

Choose a smart home EV charger for maximum convenience. A networked charger will save you time and money with scheduled charging and remote control of your EV. A smart charger also may qualify you for additional utility savings.

Make sure your station fits your life. Invest in a station that works with any EV on the road, including Tesla. Choose the right connector type for your EV: NACS (J3400) for Tesla and J1772 for all other EVs in the U.S. Pick a station with a long cable to support any parking scenario.
