Grizzl-E Classic
The no-app, no-nonsense workhorse. The Grizzl-E Classic is deliberately dumb: no app, no Wi-Fi, no scheduling.
The verdict
The Grizzl-E Classic is deliberately dumb: no app, no Wi-Fi, no scheduling. It is also rugged, inexpensive, and easy to move if you rent. For a car that maxes out at 32 or 40 amps, it is all the charger you need.

Compatibility
A good match for the Bolt, Leaf, older ID.4 and bZ4X, which cannot use more than 32–40 amps anyway.
Is it worth it?
Match the charger to the car's onboard charger first. A 48-amp unit only makes sense if your car accepts 48 amps and your panel can support a 60-amp circuit. If either answer is no, a 40-amp charger such as the Grizzl-E Classic is the better spend.
