The best home EV chargers for an electric truck
Electric pickups carry some of the biggest batteries on the road, and they are split between two connectors. Here is the charger that covers the truck you have, and the circuit it deserves.

How this page is funded: we earn a commission if you buy through our Amazon links, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend, and we say plainly when the honest answer is to buy nothing. Full disclosure.
For most cars we argue against buying the biggest charger. Trucks are the exception: large packs, heavy vehicles, and sometimes a trailer on the back mean more energy to put back each night. The question is which connector your truck uses, and how big a circuit your panel allows.

Ranked for a first home charger. Every row jumps to the full write-up below.

Which connector your truck uses
| Truck | Port | Home charger |
|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, GMC Hummer EV | CCS; GM sells a NACS adapter | J1772 |
| Ford F-150 Lightning | CCS | J1772 |
| Tesla Cybertruck | NACS | NACS, or J1772 through the Tesla's adapter |
| Rivian R1T | NACS from the 2026 model year; CCS before | J1772 serves both, with an adapter on NACS trucks |
How much the circuit matters
An illustrative 100 kWh refill -- your number will differ
At 32 A (7.7 kW): about 13 hours
At 40 A (9.6 kW): about 10 hours 25 minutes
At 48 A (11.5 kW): about 8 hours 40 minutes
At 50 A (12 kW): about 8 hours 20 minutes
The top tier fits a big refill inside a night; the smaller ones may not. But a 48 A charger needs a 60 A circuit and a 50 A charger needs 70 A, and the truck's onboard charger has to accept that much. Check the manual, then the panel -- chargers for a 200-amp panel and load calculation.
The picks in detail
Two high-output J1772 units and one dual-connector unit, each with the case against it.
1. Homes with an uncertain panel
ChargePoint Home Flex
ChargePoint · J1772 · 50 A / 12 kW · 23 ft cable
The most adjustable unit here. It can be set anywhere from 16 A to 50 A, which makes it the one to buy when you do not yet know what your panel will allow.
What is good
- Six selectable amperage settings from 16 A to 50 A
- Sold in both hardwired and NEMA 14-50 versions
- Rated for indoor or outdoor installation
- The app is mature and does not require a subscription
What is not
- 23 ft is a foot shorter than the longest cables in this group
- The 50 A setting needs a bigger circuit than most panels have spare
| Maximum output | 50 A / 12 kW at 240 V |
|---|---|
| Amperage settings | 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50 A |
| Connector | SAE J1772 |
| Cable | 23 ft |
| Installation | Hardwired or NEMA 14-50 |
| Certification | UL listed, Energy Star |
| Warranty | 3 years |
Skip this if: Skip it if your circuit is already fixed and you just want the cheapest safe 40 A unit. You are paying for flexibility you will not use.

2. Long reach outdoors
Autel MaxiCharger AC Home
Autel Energy · J1772 · 50 A / 12 kW · 25 ft cable
The 25 ft cable is the longest in this group, and the NEMA 4 case plus a cold-flexible cord make it the easiest unit to live with on an exposed outside wall.
What is good
- 25 ft cable, the longest of the wall units here
- Sold in NEMA 14-50, NEMA 6-50 and hardwired versions
- NEMA Type 4 enclosure rated for rain, snow, hail and sleet
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so it still works if the Wi-Fi drops
What is not
- The 50 A version is hardwired only
- The app has more features than a first-time owner needs
| Maximum output | 50 A / 12 kW hardwired; 40 A / 9.6 kW plug-in |
|---|---|
| Connector | SAE J1772 |
| Cable | 25 ft |
| Enclosure | NEMA Type 4 |
| Certification | Tested to UL standards by CSA |
| Warranty | 3 years |
Skip this if: Skip it if your parking spot is right next to the panel. You are paying for cable you will coil up and never use.

3. A two-car, two-connector garage
Tesla Universal Wall Connector
Tesla · J1772 + NACS · 48 A / 11.5 kW · 24 ft cable
The Wall Connector with a J1772 adapter built into the holster, so it charges a Tesla and a non-Tesla without anything loose to lose.
What is good
- Charges NACS and J1772 cars without a separate adapter to store
- Same 48 A output and four-year warranty as the Gen 3
- The adapter docks in the holster, so it cannot walk off
What is not
- Costs more than the NACS-only Gen 3
- Hardwired only
| Maximum output | 48 A / 11.5 kW at 240 V |
|---|---|
| Connector | NACS with an integrated J1772 adapter |
| Cable | 24 ft |
| Installation | Hardwired |
| Warranty | 4 years |
Skip this if: Skip it if both cars use the same connector. You are paying for an adapter you do not need.
