Grizzl-E Smart EV Charging Station Review

The Grizzl-E Smart is the smart-charging version of the very popular Grizzl-E CVlassic which we reviewed a few months ago. It's a 40-amp smart-charger for electric vehicles from Canada-based United Chargers that is built to survive even the most challenging weather conditions. We put it through our tests and offer our thoughts on this reasonably-priced EV smart-charging option.

[@johnpoldo8817]

Tom's EV reports are some of the best you'll find on YT and no one analyzes charging better. I know dozens of people who live in condominiums who won't buy an EV because the association won't give away electricity. A few commercial charging units are available with direct user billing, but they are expensive and like Chargepoint take a percentage of the revenue collected. Hopefully the Grizz-E Smart charger supports multiple accounts soon because it looks like a great charger at an economical price. Enel-X is another brand that's high quality per Tom's review and may be supporting multiple accounts / direct billing.

Hey man, I just want to say that I really appreciate the dives that you do on each of these chargers. Your website is also super helpful as well. It seems like there are a lot of features for this charger that were still in development at the time of this video.

Hi Tom I am grateful to have a channel like this to help people in there ev charging quest for knowledge. I purchased a Grizl-E smart partly on your reviews. I was thoroughly disappointed after receiving it and finding out how awkward it is to hard wire. You are recommending people hard wire the units in. Because so many people go on your recommendation l am hoping you will let your viewers know about this issue. Thanks Dan

Thanks Tom! Your reviews gave me all the information I needed to choose among the many EVSEs out there.

[@patrickboyarski7414]

Tom, I enjoy your charger reviews as they are comprehensive and objective. Two questions for you, please: 1. Do I need a smart charger if the car can control charging start time, minimum and maximum charge levels, etc,? 2. Have you ever run into a situation where the smart charger conflicts with what has been programmed into the car? What happens then?

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Hi Patrick. No, you don't "need" a smart charging station. Most EVs today can perform the tasks that you mentioned, without the need of a smart charging station. However, there are plenty of other features that are good smart home charging station can offer that the EV cannot do. Schedules can conflict between the vehicle and the EVSE if you set them that way. In that case the vehicle won't charge unless both the schedule that's set for the charging station and in the car both agree it's time to charge.

[@tonys9413]

I would love to see a review of the Shell Recharge 32 or 40 amp portable EVSEs. I own the 32a version, but I haven’t seen a lot of reviews, and most people I talk to have never seen one. It is one of the few portable (or mounted, for that matter) EVSEs that not only has adjustable amperage (12, 16, 24, or 32), but also works on 120v with the included adapter. It also has a small, but informative display, including incoming voltage and total kWh delivered. So far, I am really happy with this unit. I am using it at work and will use it on trips as well.

We have had the Grizzl-e original for three years and really like it. The holster caused some concern once. Bugs got into it once and then got crushed inside the car receptacle. I saw the mess and thought something awful must be happening electrically. Now we always put the rubber cover on the end. Have you ever done a video on how we do not all get electrified when we plug in during a rain storm.

[@JeanFrancoisLarinRigaud]

About flexibility, don't mix flexible with supple. In cable engineering, a supple cable a cable that is easy to bend (with little force). A flexible cable is a cable that can be bend many times without breaking. When building a cable, you can favor one characteristics, but you loose on the other one. IE: making a supple cable will last less time (be less flexible).

[@saravasquez489]

Thanks more your reviews. I hope this he qualifies for the upcoming EV debate and the PSEG program in NJ.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

I don't see why it wouldn't.

[@ryan52403]

Would love to see you review the new Emporia Smart Home EV Charger. It's a US based company, only $499 and rated for up to 48 amps if hardwired. Considering purchasing it, but there aren't any reviews yet.

[@ryan52403]

I should add that it's not UL listed yet, but according to Emporia "We're in the process of UL Certification right now. Got our first results with everything passing with flying colors. Right now we're just waiting on UL to wrap up their certification process. Hoping to have that finalized within the next few months (certainly before the end of the year)."

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

I'm considering something like this for my Tesla vs just going with the Tesla wall charger. I was originally considering just doing the NEMA 14-50 outlets with the mobile charger, but really want something installed so I can keep the mobile charger in the car for when we travel, considering an extra mobile charger is nearly as expensive as a wall charger - this is a viable option. The Tesla wall charger charges faster since it can use a 60a circuit (48a used), it costs less than other smart wall chargers, and no need for an adapter. Of course the downside is that if we sell the house, a hardwired wall charger will be of little value to new owners unless they also have (or get) and EV - specifically a Tesla. Which is why I'm considering going with a non-Tesla wall charger that can plug into a standard NEMA outlet. I can take the charger with me and the outlet can provide value to the new owners for other uses. Of course, perhaps I'm over thinking this.

[@rkgsd]

I'd consider the Emporia charger for $399 which he's also reviewed. It CAN do 48 amps (hardwired). If you're not thinking of moving anytime soon, I'd still go hardwired and enjoy the benefits of that. Cut you losses if/when it's time to move. A home buyer might find it a nice enough perk to buy the home. A $399 EV donation is easier pill to swallow than a $650 Tesla charger donation.

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

@@rkgsd Sure. A general purpose EV charger would be more appealing overall (slightly less to Tesla owners) although both can charge any EV with the right adapters. However, the 14-50 plug is even more useful since RVs and power tools can use it.

[@cesartrujillo4190]

Avalanche (white) edition would be great for Phoenix to help keep it cooler. I would actually want a black one for snowy areas. But I guess white would keep your winter wonderland looking pristine. A small black box would be a small visual price to pay to have less soot in the snow from ICE vehicles. I love that lock.

Great reviews! I’m curious about the pedestal you used to mount the unit to during the extreme weather test. Is this a custom unit you had made or is this something readily available?

[@henrysamek9211]

You shouldn't hardwire the weatherproof "EVSE" unit! Whether mounted on an exterior post, mounted on the exterior of the dwelling the "EVSE" unit should have a hard usage #6-3 rubber cord with a 14-50 male W.P. RV plug installed and wired into the unit! The 14-50 male plug should be plugged into a W.P. 14-50 receptacle mounted in a weatherproof box NEMA 3R that has an "In Use Cover" to cover and protect the receptacle! This way, you have a weatherproof disconnecting means where you park the all electric vehicle! If a malfunction in the vehicle should occur, not a short circuit, without going to the electric vehicle you can unplug at the point of disconnect thus stopping the current flow from the receptacle! The supply at the service panel should always be a GFCI breaker!

1. It won’t charge if I ask the car to schedule charging during off peak hours - Update: if I schedule both in the app and the car (Ioniq 5) I can use scheduled departure. They are working on a firmware update for this. 2. It significantly over reports the kWh or doesn’t report it at all - Update: they are working on a firmware update for this. 3. It just now started charging during peak hours even though there is a schedule configured and active in the app - Update: this will happen when ever your internet goes down. Since resetting my modem I’ve been good. 4. Now there are two of them listed in the app - Update: was a one time thing and hasn’t happened since my connectivity was fixed. 1/27/23 Update: the ChargeLab support team is very pleasant to work with. Based on all of these updates I’m going to raise from 3 to 4 stars.

Other than theft deterrence, I'm not sure what the advantage of hardwiring it would be if it can't do up to 48 amps on a 60 amp circuit.

However, I have read many user reviews saying there are major issues with the smart version of the charger, specifically with the wi-fi connectivity causing issues charging the car. Even people with range extenders (like we have) and people who have their charger very close to the modem have experienced problems. Can you speak to that please?

[@bww129]

I'm considering this charger as well and the WiFi performance is not something any review really covers. From an engineering standpoint, the aluminum enclosure is great for sealing the electronics from the environment BUT it is also one of the best ways to shield the electronics from electromagnetic waves, including 2.4GHz WiFi. Ideally, there would some kind of plastic window in the enclosure where the WiFi module's antenna is to improve signal integrity. If your router is very close to where the charger will be then it might not be an issue, but unfortunately the only to figure that out is to buy it and test it...

[@RCdiy]

Minor point - why didn’t it get points for the holster. You spent time praising it.

It's a good holster. Holsters should be good, IMO. I'm more apt to deduct points if it's substandard. I would I've given it a point if it was backlit with an LED.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Yes, you can. The car dictates the power it will take in, so there's never any concern that a charging station is too powerful. The Grizzl-E can deliver more power than a Prius Prime can accept, but the car won't allow it to.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

I have outlets in the garage that are both ground down and ground up, because different units use different configurations. Yes, the Grizzl-E's is ground down, so unless you want to bend the cable in a U shape, you need to switch the outlet.

Have you tested the Vevor EV charger? It’s made in Canada and I am not sure if it’s NEMA 4 certified? Any info? Thanks Malcolm Treger

Do you know what charge speeds are for the Hyundai Kona ev

[@glslezak]

I designed the original EWM Juicebox, this one looks awfully familiar....

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

It uses the same off the shelf, NEMA-4 enclosure. Everything else looks different. I don't see any issues with that, especially since the JuiceBox is totally redesigned now.

[@stephenpetersen354]

I see a lot of cold weather but what about hot? These things can sit in exposed sun.

[@barryw9473]

Nice EVSE. Is anyone other than Clipper Creek going to make a UL or Intertek rated 24 amp EVSE (with NEMA 14-30 plug) to make it easy to use a Neocharge splitter?

[@thanhho9716]

I have a Jeep Wrangler 4xE that uses 32A. Can I leave the Grizzl-E preset at 40A or do I have to change to 32A and will it void the warrantee. Thanks.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Yes, you can. The vehicle will limit the power it takes in so you don't have to worry. You can always use a charging station that can deliver more than your EV can accept without any issues. That goes for all EVs.

[@garyclark6747]

Does it mean that a Tesla can communicate directly with the box via the cable requesting power or is it only has the ability to communicate with multiple apps?

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Both, but a Tesla will communicate with any EVSE. The uniqueness is the the Grizzl-E can connect to any OCPP compliant EV charging app.

Can you put a prepaid charger in front of a house location

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

I'm not sure what you mean by prepaid.

[@jperez007]

Hi, if you take the “smart” out of this charger, is it exactly the same as the classic?

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

Yes

[@rzu7120]

Is there a home charger that allows you to schedule charging times on the charger itself without being connected to WiFi?

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

The Wallbox Pulsar Plus can do it via Bluetooth. But they're always needs to be some sort of connection. You can't just physically set it on the box.

Alpha EV Charger is the one.

will the case hold up to hail?

Absolutely. It will hold up to a baseball bat! :)
