All units tested are UL listed, 30A or more, and have a plug (hardwired versions are available, and usually cheaper). The test vehicle was a 2017 LEAF SL, and testing occurred over a 1 month period. They also tested the two fastest units on a Bolt, to see if there as any significant difference in charge speed (no).

. . . So, what are some of the best charging stations on the market?
Research and tests by The Wire Cutter concludes that the Siemens Versicharge VC30GRYU is the best all-round choice for an at-home charging station. While it may not possess the most features, it's powerful enough to charge most electric cars, it's convenient, and it doesn't cost a fortune: just $500 when purchased from online retailer Amazon.
The runner-up charging station is the eMotorWerks JuiceBox Pro 40. It provides more power for longer-range electric vehicles like the Chevrolet Bolt EV and includes Wi-Fi connectivity. The JuiceBox Pro 40 may be a good investment as future electric cars become more powerful and house greater ranges in the future.
Finally, as a portable option, the AeroVironment TurboCord Dual is a top pick. The portable charging station can plug into any 240-volt, 15-amp tool outlet, but an adapter will also also allow to charge more slowly via a 120-volt outlet. . . .
