EVIQO Level 2 EV Charger Gen 2 Review: A 40A Plug-In Charger for Non-Tesla EVs
Home EV charging speed comes down largely to amperage, and EVIQO's Gen 2 Level 2 charger targets the upper end of what a standard NEMA 14-50 outlet can deliver: 40A (9.6kW), enough to fully recharge most EVs overnight. It's currently priced at $396.99, discounted from $570, and ships in 1-2 business days.
Certifications and Build
The charger carries UL, ETL, FCC, and Energy Star certifications and is housed in an IP66/NEMA-4 weatherproof enclosure, meaning it's rated for outdoor installation in rain, snow, and dust. It works with all non-Tesla North American EVs and PHEVs via the standard J1772 connector, and can also charge Teslas when paired with a separate J1772-to-NACS adapter (not included). The charger includes a 25-foot cable, WiFi app control for scheduling and monitoring usage, and a side reset button for quick restarts without disconnecting power.
Reviews and Third-Party Coverage
EVIQO's own product page states an average rating of 4.92 from 864 reviews and claims to be the '#1 Best Seller on Amazon' in its category — figures that come directly from the brand and its Amazon listing rather than an independent audit, though the review count is substantial enough to suggest a meaningful customer base. The page also features quotes attributed to reviewers from outlets like MotorTrend, State of Charge, ZDNET, and CleanTechnica; these are brand-selected excerpts rather than full independent reviews we verified directly, so they should be read as favorable third-party mentions rather than a complete picture.
Pros and Cons
Pros: strong 40A/9.6kW charging speed for a plug-in unit; broad certification coverage (UL/ETL/FCC/Energy Star); long 25-foot cable; renter-friendly plug-in installation rather than hardwiring.
Cons: Tesla compatibility requires a separately purchased adapter; headline review figures and press quotes are brand-curated rather than independently sourced.
