What is Reddit's opinion of ChargePoint Home Flex Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger upto 50 Amp, 240V, Level 2 WiFi Enabled EVSE, UL Listed, Energy Star, NEMA 6-50 Plug or Hardwired, Indoor/Outdoor, 23-Foot Cable?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Maybe the easiest would be to get an L2 charger that is either switchable or programmable to say, 16amps at 240v.

That would charge it overnight (12 to 14 hrs ~ 40kw).

Then, if you needed to charge faster, you change it to 32amps.

My utility (Pepco) offers rebates on the Chargepoint Home Flex, the Enel X JuiceBoc 32 or 40, an unspecified Siemens charger (link is broken), and a Tesla charger that only appears compatible with Tesla.

I'm thinking about going with Chargepoint, but I'm still at the preliminary stages of research, myself, and no, I haven't found any good resources yet, but I'll let you know if I do.

For a few dollars more...

Love my Chargepoint -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WNXTHNW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought it off Amazon before the price increase about a month ago. Just looked now and it’s only $699.

You aren't going to be able to get a level 3 charger for at your house. Even if you could afford the charger itself, it would be prohibitively difficult to get installed. I have had a 2016 e-Golf for the past 1.5yrs. For the first 8mo, I used a level 1 charger and a 50ft extension cord. That was a really dumb solution. Earlier this year, I got a ChargePoint Home Flex EV Charger installed and it was the best choice I could have made.

It integrates into the ChargePoint app, so you can see if the car is charging without needing VW's crazy carnet crap. Electrify America has a similar offering but they weren't selling it yet when I bought the ChargePoint one.

For what it's worth, while I was using the 50ft extension cord, I was driving up to the grocery store all the time to use their EVgo level 3 charger for a quick top-off. Since getting the new charger installed, I haven't done that once. Level 2 is totally sufficient if you aren't on a roadtrip or something.
