Grizzl-EClassic Level 2 Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger up to 40 Amp, UL Certified Indoor/Outdoor Electric Car Fast Wall Charging Station, NEMA 14-50 Plug, 24 feet Premium Cable, Avalanche Edition

I’m really impressed with the Grizzl-E Classic so far. The matte black metal enclosure looks sharp and durable, and installation was incredibly easy — just plug into the NEMA 14-50 outlet and go.Performance-wise, it’s already outshining the original Audi charger that came with the vehicle. Charging is noticeably faster, and the LED status light is simple and intuitive. One of the standout features for me was the long cable — much more convenient than expected — and the holster dock is cleverly designed. You can insert the charging end at an angle, and it clicks securely into place without fuss.Another major plus: it doesn’t overheat in the hot Colorado sun like my old charger used to. Even on scorching days, it runs cool and reliable.All in all, a great value for a tough, dependable Level 2 charger. Highly recommend if you're looking for a no-nonsense, high-performing unit that just works.

3 Mar, 2025 Update:This thing has worked flawlessly from day one! Because it's white, it's probably about 50 degrees cooler inside than the black one! I expect it to work and work and work... VERY nice charger of outdoors!(And I sent the black one they had sent back and got refunded without any problem!)_________________________________________________________________________On Jul 30, 2020, I had ordered a Grizzl-E Classic. It seems to be almost exactly the same as this Avalanche, except it's black. It has to be out in the sun and weather. I have no garage and all the electric is on the southeast side of the building and I don't want to buy $500 worth of wire and run it around to the other side of this building. So, that one quit in October, this year (`24). That doesn't seem very long to me. That thing got HOT out there in the sun on a 95 degree plus day. All the stickers on the outside of it had fallen off. I even wrote that in the review. I don't know if that's why, but a while later, they came out with this white one! When it broke in October, I got done making sure there was still 240 volt power to the 14-50 outlet weatherproof outlet box, took that Classic apart, saw two fuses that both looked and checked good. The next step would have been to scour Al Gore's "Internets" and see if I could get a schematic, and|or contact the Canadian company for a schematic and see if they were nice enough, and|or take the board out of it and follow traces around and try to figure things out. Nah. I'm old and tired and wanted a white one anyway. Do NOT underestimate the difference between black and white as far as gathering heat from the sun! So, since it had gotten cheaper anyway, I ordered this Avalanche; two birds with one stone. I got a black Classic instead. I deliberated and decided to start with Amazon. YAY, AMAZON! No muss, no fuss. After explaining the somewhat complicated state of affairs, I was sent this Avalanche (and it IS the white one! YAY!) and got paperwork and stuff to send the broken Classic back! (I haven't done that yet; I wanted to make sure I actually got the right one and that it worked first.) Now, I've got this one (Avalanche) mounted and I had to move the 6 foot dryer cord that I'd bought for this one over to the Avalanche. It's working great! The Classic has a circuit board rev 1 and this Avalanche has a rev 6 point something circuit board. The nozzle that plugs into the car is much nicer and better looking! And it works just fine and, in my opinion,looks better! The charging cord on this Avalanche is MUCH smaller, lighter and more flexible! Nice! So now I have to send the Classic back. The Amazon rep (real nice lady) told me I have until Feb to do that.We have a Chevy Bolt and a Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Plug-In. An Emporia charger is the primary for the Bolt. That thing has a pretty huge battery and the Emporia is hard wired and is set all the way up to 50 amps (12 kw). This one (Avalanche) has about 50 feet of 10 gauge wire inside the building, which is 40 amps, but 80% as per code, is 32 amps. I now have an ideal setup! If the Emporia breaks, I can use this one for either car (A little slower for the Bolt; overkill for the Ioniq since the Ioniq throttles it down to about 12 amps anyway, only having an 8.9 kwh battery.) PERFECT! You don't want to buy two EV's and still only be a one car family because of the charger situation!This Avalanche has one drawback: It comes with a really short - 12 inches or 18 inches - power cord. My 14-50 outlet is about 2 feet off the ground and the Avalanche is about 4-5 feet off the ground, to the right of the outlet. To make that work, I had to go buy a dryer cord at the hardware store. Now the power cord loops between the bottom of the Avalanche to the outlet with a drip loop that goes almost to the ground before plugging into the bottom of the outlet for maximum protection against water! PERFECT! Now that it's white and doesn't get 170 degrees or whatever inside, I love everything else about it! It's all aluminum and TOTALLY waterproof (and bug and dust proof)! And it can be set to 16. 24, 32, or 40 amps using dip switches inside the unit to perfectly match whatever kind of wiring you have! Very nice charger! I had another charger years ago, that was nowhere near waterproof and had an inch deep lake in the bottom and corroded contacts when it finally broke. Night and day! Water proof is the way to go on planet Earth.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase of the Grizzl-E Classic Level 2 EV Charger! The "dumb" charger -- meaning not the 'smart' charger is what I came to purchase after reading about the internet connectivity issues. This charger is simple, works great, looks great and I am very happy with this item.Easy Installation: The NEMA 14-50 plug makes setup a breeze – just plug it in, and you’re ready to go. No need for complicated wiring or professional installation unless you’re mounting it permanently. [yes, there should be a cover on the exterior NEMA outlet! - but that is between me and my electrician... separate from the grizzl-e itself,]Robust Build Quality: The metal case enclosure feels solid and built to last. It’s UL Certified, which gave me peace of mind about safety, and it performs beautifully outdoors, even in heavy rain.Super Fast Charging: With 40A output, my hybrid Jeep wrangler charges from zero to full in just over a couple hours.Weather-Resistant Design: This charger lives outside, and the fact that it’s designed to handle various weather conditions has proven true. I haven’t experienced any hiccups, even in wet conditions – this thing is a tank![Note: AI helped me write this review, however, it was edited and submitted by a real live human, and I did indeed purchase the grizzl-e charger and installed it on my house as shown in the attached image.]

We've only had this a few weeks, but we're extremely satisfied with it. It's built like a tank, feels like it will last forever, installation was very simple (used included bracket to attach it to a stud). Operation is as simple as can be, no apps or scheduling, we rely on our vehicle for that. I liked that you could set the amperage, as we have a 40 amp line that needs this to be set at 32 (which was easy to do). The bracket for hanging the plug and cord works, but doesn't feel up to the same quality of the main unit. Also be aware that the cord is VERY heavy duty. This a good thing from an operational/safety standpoint, but does make it more awkward to loop it over the hanger. We got it for our new Toyota Rav4 PHEV, went from 12 hours for a full charge with Toyota cable to 2.5 hours with this one. I expect it will last at least as long as the car.
