The connector

CarGurus says the refreshed 2026 Solterra arrives with a NACS port and that the new 2026 Trailseeker SUV has a native NACS port, with a third Subaru EV following in 2026. SimpleSwitch notes that Subaru's EV plans closely align with Toyota's.

Choosing the charger

If an older Solterra and a new Subaru share the garage, Tesla's Universal Wall Connector serves both connectors. A plug-in J1772 unit on a NEMA 14-50 is the simplest install, with an adapter for the NACS car. Tesla Wall Connector vs Universal.

The chargers in detail

A dual-connector unit and two J1772 units, each with the case against it.

1. 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
Published specifications for the Tesla Universal Wall Connector
Maximum output48 A / 11.5 kW at 240 V
ConnectorNACS with an integrated J1772 adapter
Cable24 ft
InstallationHardwired
Warranty4 years

Skip this if: Skip it if both cars use the same connector. You are paying for an adapter you do not need.

2. Harsh weather and no app

Grizzl-E Classic

United Chargers · J1772 · 40 A / 9.6 kW · 24 ft cable

A cast-aluminum box with no app, no account and no firmware to update. If you want a charger that behaves like an appliance, this is the one.

What is good

  • Cast aluminum NEMA 4 / IP67 enclosure, built for outdoor mounting
  • No app, no account, no network dependency
  • Amperage is set with physical switches, not software
  • Protections for over-current, over-voltage, ground fault and over-temperature

What is not

  • 40 A ceiling, slower than the 48 A units if your panel can take more
  • No scheduling, so off-peak charging has to be set in the car
  • The cold-flexible 24 ft cable is only on the Extreme Edition
Published specifications for the Grizzl-E Classic
Maximum output40 A / 9.6 kW at 240 V

Skip this if: Skip it if you want scheduled charging or energy tracking in an app. The Classic deliberately has neither.

3. 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
Published specifications for the ChargePoint Home Flex
Maximum output50 A / 12 kW at 240 V
Amperage settings16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50 A
ConnectorSAE J1772
Cable23 ft
InstallationHardwired or NEMA 14-50
CertificationUL listed, Energy Star
Warranty3 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.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Does the Subaru Solterra have a NACS port?
The refreshed 2026 Solterra does, per CarGurus. Check the port on an older one.
What home charger fits a Subaru Trailseeker?
CarGurus reports a native NACS port, so a NACS or dual-connector charger plugs straight in, and a J1772 charger works through a J1772-to-NACS adapter.
Can one charger serve an older Solterra and a 2026 model?
Yes: the Universal Wall Connector has both connectors, or a J1772 charger serves the older car directly and the newer one through an adapter.
