The electric car industry is booming, and it’s not just the manufacturers that are benefitting.
One industry that has taken advantage of this trend is the manufacturer of electric vehicle charging stations. Choosing the right electric vehicle charging station manufacturer is an important decision, and we’re going to help you.
Buying a home charging station that does not offer the features you need can cost you money and time, so it’s worth taking your time to find one that meets all of your needs. This article will go over 9 of the best home chargers and show you why they’re worth checking out.
Top 9 Electric Car Charging Stations
1. Chargepoint Home Flex Charger
The ChargePoint Home Flex is an excellent choice for consumers looking to charge electric vehicles.

The unit comes standard as a plug-in charger and can be customized into either NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 plugs–the cable length also reaches 23 ft., making it perfect for most outlets! With its WiFi connection, you’ll have access not just to sleek features but information on your past sessions in order to make sure the environment remains safe.
