Grizzl-E EV charger Review
If you’re searching for an electric vehicle (EV) charger, the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is a fantastic alternative to consider. This charger is one of the most popular on the market, and for good reason – it’s well-made, reliable, and easy to use. However, there are a few things you should know before you buy one.
First, the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is very affordable – in fact, it’s one of the most affordable options on the market.
It’s also easy to set up and use; you don’t need any special tools or knowledge to get it up and running.
And it’s reliable, too – the EV Adept’s customers have been using mine for over a year without any problems.
This Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is perfect for fast charging your electric vehicle. With adjustable amperage and a maximum current output of 40 Amps, this charger can be used with any 50A, 40A, 30A or 20A circuit breaker.
It is easy to install and use, and it saves you hundreds of dollars on installation costs. It is also easily transportable, so you can take it with you wherever you go. And it features a NEMA-4 water and air tight metal enclosure, so you can be sure that your charger will be safe and secure.
With over current, over voltage, under voltage, missing diode, ground fault, and over temperature protections, it’s safe. It also features self-monitoring and recovery, power outage recovery, and a built in GFCI.
It is a simple, powerful, heavy-duty and portable Electric Vehicle Charging Station which is suitable for normal and cold weather. Compatible with all EVs and PHEVs sold in North America.
However, there is a drawback to consider. The Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is a bit slower than some of the other options on the market (if we compare our EVSE to a hardwired one).
Overall, the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is a great option for anyone looking for an affordable and reliable EV charger.It’s simple to operate, dependable, and cheap – and it comes with a three-year warranty, so you can rest assured that you’re getting a high-quality product.
Grizzl-E is committed to developing the most reliable and efficient electric vehicle charging stations on the market1. The company manufactures its own EV chargers, which are sold mainly in North America. Grizzl-E provides up to one year warranty on goods with a customer support department and quality control. The brand has an average demand among customers because of the variety available in their product assortment2.
Grizzl-E is typically a charger that you install in your garage, and it charges only one car. This means they are intended only for one-person household.
Typically Grizzl-E is installed in the garage, so it do not need to be weather proof. It usually consists of only one phase.
If you install this Grizzl E, it is best to never leave your car parked in front of the garage (parked in front of the charger) unless you are charging. It will stress out your car, since people would have to open doors on both sides of the car, and they open the door of your neighbor’s car too if parked in front of this charger.
Grizzl-E is typically rated for 16 amps (16 kW) or 30 amps (7.2 kW). 30 amp units are typically about 2 feet long, and look just like a hair dryer plugged into a regular household power outlet. But remember that GEVCs do not typically have built-in cooling fans, so they can get quite hot while charging.
Some of these come with additional features such as LCD display, timer to delay start of charging and similar things which we will discuss further on. But typically these offer no advanced feature nor low voltage disconnect capability so you should always install it in your garage, never outside.
If you’re looking for a home EV charger that will make your life easier, look no further. This product is easy to use and install in any household3 because it doesn’t require any special knowledge of electric vehicles or how they work. Even Tesla owners can use it with an adapter. Plus, thanks to the halo lights around the edge of this device there are never going to be any surprises when charging time comes. How does this charger compare with others on the market? The only way to find out is by giving it a try yourself today – so don’t hesitate another second.

I like Grizzly. I just installed a Grizzly Classic in my second garage and for $600 with the premium cable ($500) for standard it is a very solid and simple unit. However, they will provide any additional features if you request them.
If I was doing an outside project in the north, I’d choose this piece. However, it is a little too expensive for a garage installation. Winters in Minnesota, on the other hand, may dip to below-freezing temperatures.
i don’t need a smartphone to interact with it, and the adjustable charge current is perfect for me. i like my grizzl-e. it’s simple to use and it meets my needs.
Do any of the Grizzl-e chargers have delay start timer?
Installed a Grizzl-E in my garage last winter. It was a lifesaver. I was initially worried about its performance in cold weather but it didn’t let me down. Impressed by how reliable it is. But gotta be honest, it’s a bit slower than my buddy’s Tesla charger. Still, for the price, I can’t complain. Would recommend. Thoughts on speed vs reliability?
I feel the same way. It may not be the Usain Bolt of EV chargers, but it sure is the Iron Man – durable and reliable. I think reliability over speed is a fair trade-off, especially for that price point.
Anyone know how Grizzl-E chargers handle fluctuating power grids? I live in an area prone to brownouts. If I invest in one, I don’t want it to fry on me.
I’m no expert, but the Grizzl-E chargers are built with multiple safety features and power protections. Haven’t had any issues despite the summer heatwaves that make my area’s grid pretty unstable. I’d say it’s worth looking into for your situation.
For those of you new to Grizzl-E, it’s super easy to adjust the amperage. All you have to do is open the box and tweak a few switches. Done it a couple times to suit different cars I’ve test driven. It’s nice that you’re not stuck at one setting. Who else has fiddled with these settings?
So I’ve got two EVs in the family now. Considering the Grizzl-E Duo for simultaneous charging. Is it worth it, or should I just stagger charge times with a single unit? I’m all about convenience but don’t want to waste money. Suggestions?
If convenience is key, the Duo is a no-brainer. I got one, and it’s been a household peacekeeper, let me tell you. No more arguing over whose turn it is to charge. The intelligent power-sharing is pretty neat too.
Recently my Grizzl-E started tripping the circuit breaker. I don’t get it; worked fine for a year. Anyone had similar issues? What’d you do?
I faced a similar issue once. Turned out it was not the Grizzl-E but the house wiring. If it was fine for a year, maybe get your circuit breaker and wiring checked?
Had a ChargePoint Home before switching to Grizzl-E. For me, the simplicity and robustness of the Grizzl-E trumped ChargePoint’s bells and whistles. Sometimes less is more. The only downside is the speed; Grizzl-E is a bit slower. What’s your comparison experience?
Quick tip: If you’ve got the Grizzl-E with a J1772 plug, you can use it with pretty much any EV. I’ve used an adapter to charge a friend’s Nissan Leaf. So it’s more versatile than you’d think. What other ‘hacks’ have you guys discovered?
Just heard Grizzl-E is releasing a software update to improve charging speed. Keep an eye out. Anyone else excited about this or is it just me?
Heads up, check your Grizzl-E’s firmware regularly, especially after power outages. Mine acted weird once after a blackout but a quick update sorted it out. How often do you folks update?
