I just took delivery of my new Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring and I'm absolutely loving the plug-in hybrid experience so far! However, relying on the standard 120V Level 1 charger is taking way too long to top off the battery overnight. I’m looking to install a dedicated Level 2 setup in my garage to make the most of those EV miles. Since the Corsair has a 6.6 kW onboard charger, I want something that can handle that speed efficiently. Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable, UL-listed charger that pairs well with the Lincoln Way app? I’m stuck between a hardwired ChargePoint or a NEMA 14-50 plug-in model like the JuiceBox. Which Level 2 charger have you found to be the most reliable for your Grand Touring?
Seconding the recommendation above regarding the Emporia. It's great for the price, but if you want something even more basic and budget-friendly, I've been super satisfied with the Grizzl-E Classic NEMA 14-50 40 Amp Level 2 EV Charger. It's built like a tank and handles the 6.6 kW charge perfectly without any smart features to mess with. Definitely a solid value pick! Good luck with the new ride!
Hi there! For your situation, I've gotta say the ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 EV Charger is absolutely fantastic! I've been using one for my Grand Touring and honestly, it's been rock solid. I went with the hardwired setup to maximize that 6.6 kW onboard charger speed without worrying about a plug melting. Seriously, the build quality is way better than the JuiceBox IMO. It's a bit pricier, but totally worth the peace of mind! Good luck!
For your situation, I would suggest the Emporia Level 2 EV Charger 48 Amp since it's super reliable and quite a bit cheaper than the JuiceBox or ChargePoint options.
