I recently sold my Clipper Creek EVSE to a forum member and bought a Grizzl-E instead. This in no way reflects poorly on Clipper but was mostly from my desire to have a 40 Amp EVSE instead of the 32 Amps I had, and a hope to integrate the new EVSE into a smart home network in the near future.
So far the Grizzl-E is meeting and exceeding expectations.
A lot of thought was put into the fit and finish, the installation experience, and the user manual. I very much appreciate these details, and I like the aesthetic, metal product. VERY well done.
I bought the premium cable. When winter comes around I'll see if it lives up to its billing as staying pliable in the cold.
Last but perhaps not least: the connector has two nice touches:
1, the safety latch is metal instead of plastic. That should be standard on *any* EVSE, particularly those in public use.
2, the connector inserts into the car port easily and securely. Hooray for tight manufacturing tolerances.
My single criticism is the connector holster. It has holes that might let water in since it is installed outside. The Grizzl folks may have anticipated my concern by attaching a rubber cap to the connector, perhaps to be used in the winter. I may build a small 'roof' for the holster.
The product comes with a 3 year warranty, and that can be extended to 5 years for an additional small cost if desired. It is less expensive than the Clipper or the Enel products, and combined with a tax credit it is surely a better value than rebadged, no-name Chinese generics.
