The best NACS home chargers

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 years the home-charging question was which J1772 charger to buy. Now half the cars on a dealer lot have a NACS port, and the question has a second half: which connector should the charger have? This page is the answer for anyone whose car already has the Tesla-style inlet.

How these are ranked

Every unit below is sold with a NACS connector in North America. They are ranked on what the charger does for a household -- connector coverage first, then output, cable and installation -- not on brand. Where a unit is sold in both connector types, that is noted, because it means you are not locked in.

1. Tesla Universal Wall Connector -- both connectors, no adapter to lose

48 A hardwired, a 24 ft cable and a four-year warranty, with a J1772 adapter docked in the holster so a non-Tesla can charge without anything loose. In a two-car, two-connector household this is the least annoying object in the category. It is hardwired and it is the most expensive unit here. Full review.

2. Grizzl-E Classic Connect -- the plug-in NACS option

40 A on a NEMA 14-50, a 25 ft cable, a UL Type 4 rating, -22 F to 122 F, and a NACS cable if you choose it at purchase. The easiest of these to actually get installed, because it plugs into an outlet. The ceiling is 40 A. Full review.

3. Emporia Pro -- NACS with load management

48 A hardwired or 40 A on a plug, a 25 ft cable, a NACS connector option, and PowerSmart load management with a Vue 3 monitor in the box. The pick when your panel is the obstacle rather than the charger. Pro against Classic.

4. Lectron NEXUS -- 48 A NACS with no app

The no-software route: 48 A hardwired or 40 A plug-in, a 23 ft cable, an IP66 housing, ETL listing to UL 2594, UL 2231 and UL 2251, and a NACS version. Nothing to log into, ever. Full review.

5. Grizzl-E Duo Connect -- two NACS cables

For two NACS cars: one plug-in charger with two 25 ft cables, sold in a NACS/NACS pair. United Chargers lists 40 A total and 20 A each when both cars charge, so it is a convenience buy rather than a speed buy. Full review.

6. Tesla Wall Connector (Gen 3) -- the original

48 A, a 24 ft cable, a four-year warranty and power sharing across as many as six linked units. It is NACS only, so a J1772 car in the same garage needs an adapter. Note that it is not reliably stocked on Amazon at the moment; our review covers the specification either way.

The specs, side by side

When a J1772 charger is still the right buy

• Your household has both connector types. A J1772 charger plus an adapter, or a dual-connector unit, beats a NACS-only charger.
• Your next car is uncertain. J1772-to-NACS adapters are cheap and widely available; going the other way is also possible. Adapters.
• The unit you want is only sold in J1772. An adapter costs less than settling for a worse charger.
• You already own an adapter that lives on the cable and never gets lost.

That last point is worth sitting with. An adapter on a home charger is not the same nuisance as an adapter on a road trip: it stays clipped to the connector in your own garage. The case for buying NACS is that it is free to choose at purchase, not that adapters are unworkable.

What NACS does not change

Your circuit, your amperage and your charging speed are all unaffected by the connector on the end of the cable. A 40 A NACS charger and a 40 A J1772 charger deliver exactly the same 9.6 kW. How many amps you need is still the question that decides speed, and the plug types page explains what the shapes mean.

The NACS field

Every one of these is sold with a Tesla-style connector. Several are sold with J1772 too, at the same price.

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 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.

2. Grizzl-E toughness, with an app

Grizzl-E Classic Connect

United Chargers · J1772 · 40 A / 9.6 kW · 25 ft cable

The next-generation Grizzl-E: 40 A on a NEMA 14-50, a 25 ft cable, a UL Type 4 indoor/outdoor rating -- and, unlike the Classic, Wi-Fi and the Grizzl-E Connect app. Sold with a J1772 or NACS cable.

What is good

• +25 ft cable, a foot longer than the Classic Extreme Edition's
• +Wi-Fi app with schedules and charging statistics, which the Classic deliberately lacks
• +UL/cUL listed, with a published file number
• +Rated to run from -22 F to 122 F

What is not

• −40 A ceiling, with no hardwired 48 A version
• −Sold with a NEMA 14-50 plug; the Classic's 6-50 option is not among the Connect listings we found
• −The app needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi where the charger is mounted

Published specifications for the Grizzl-E Classic Connect

Maximum output	40 A / 9.6 kW at 240 V (the maker lists 10 kW)
Adjustable	16 A to 40 A
Connector	SAE J1772 or NACS, chosen at purchase
Cable	25 ft (7.6 m)
Plug	NEMA 14-50
Enclosure rating	UL Type 4, indoor and outdoor
Operating temperature	-22 F to 122 F
Size	10.25 x 6.25 x 3.75 in
Connectivity	Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and the Grizzl-E Connect app
Certification	UL/cUL, file E510712
Warranty	3 years; 5-year warranty sold separately

Skip this if: Skip it if you wanted a Grizzl-E precisely because it has no app -- the original Classic is still the no-software choice -- or if you want 48 A. The Classic Connect is a 40 A plug-in unit.

3. A tight panel

Emporia Pro EV Charger

Emporia · J1772 · 48 A / 11.5 kW · 25 ft cable

Emporia's 48-amp charger with PowerSmart load management built in: the Vue 3 energy monitor comes in the box, and the charger backs off when the rest of the house is busy. The one to look at when your panel is the obstacle.

What is good

• +PowerSmart load management included, not an add-on
• +Vue 3 energy monitor in the box, for whole-home data
• +Emporia says it works even with older 60 or 100 amp services
• +J1772 or NACS connector options

What is not

• −PowerSmart needs the Vue installed in your panel -- electrician work
• −Costs more than the Emporia Classic, which charges at the same 48 A
• −Only worth it if your panel is the constraint

Published specifications for the Emporia Pro EV Charger

Maximum output	48 A hardwired; 40 A with a NEMA plug
Connector	J1772 or NACS, chosen at purchase
Cable	25 ft
Load management	PowerSmart, standard
In the box	Emporia Vue 3 energy monitor
Installation	NEMA 14-50 plug or hardwired; rear-entry option
Certification	UL certified, GFCI-protected
Warranty	3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if your panel has comfortable room for a full EV circuit. Without that problem you are paying for load management you will not use -- the Emporia Classic charges at the same 48 A.

4. A long cable, no app

L48A

Lectron NEXUS Level 2 charger

Lectron · J1772 · 48 A / 11.5 kW · 23 ft cable

Lectron's wall charger: 48 A hardwired or 40 A on a NEMA 14-50, with a 23 ft cable, an IP66 housing and ETL listing to UL 2594, UL 2231 and UL 2251. Sold with a J1772 or NACS connector -- and with no app at all.

What is good

• +23 ft of cable, among the longest on this site
• +48 A hardwired, or 40 A from an existing NEMA 14-50
• +ETL listed to UL 2594, UL 2231 and UL 2251 -- a listing, not a claim of compliance
• +Wall mount, J-hook and plug holder included

What is not

• −No app, Wi-Fi or scheduling on Lectron's NEXUS pages
• −The 48 A version is hardwired only, so it needs an electrician and a 60 A circuit
• −Lectron does not publish an operating temperature range for it

Published specifications for the Lectron NEXUS Level 2 charger

Maximum output	48 A / 240 V / 11.5 kW, hardwired
Plug-in version	40 A / 240 V / 9.6 kW on a NEMA 14-50
Connector	SAE J1772, or NACS (SAE J3400), chosen at purchase
Cable	23 ft
Cable thickness	15.0 mm (J1772) or 16.0 mm (NACS), per Lectron

In the box	Wall mount, J-hook and plug holder
Certification	UL 2594, UL 2231, UL 2251 (ETL listed); Energy Star; FCC
Warranty	3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if you want scheduling or energy tracking on your phone. Lectron's NEXUS pages list no app, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

5. Two EVs on one circuit

Grizzl-E Duo Connect

United Chargers · J1772 · 40 A / 9.6 kW · 25 ft cable

Two 25 ft cables on one 40 A plug-in charger, so two EVs can be plugged in at once. The honest catch is in the maker's own spec: 40 A total, and 20 A each when both cars charge together.

What is good

• +Two cars can stay plugged in on one 50 A circuit, with no swapping cables at midnight
• +Two 25 ft cables, the longest on this site, so both bays are reachable
• +Connector pairs to suit a mixed household: J1772/J1772, J1772/NACS or NACS/NACS
• +UL/cUL listed with a published file number, and a UL Type 4 indoor/outdoor rating
• +Wi-Fi scheduling and statistics in the Grizzl-E Connect app, with an indicator light per connector

What is not

• −40 A is the total, not per car: United Chargers lists 20 A each when two vehicles charge at once
• −Plug-in only at 40 A, so there is no 48 A hardwired version
• −Costs far more than one Classic Connect, which gives a single car the full 40 A
• −Two-car households that charge at different times gain nothing over a single charger
• −2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, like the rest of the Connect range

Published specifications for the Grizzl-E Duo Connect

Maximum output	40 A total (the maker lists 10 kW)
With two cars charging	20 A each, per United Chargers
Adjustable	40 A down to 16 A
Connectors	Two: J1772/J1772, J1772/NACS or NACS/NACS
Cables	Two, 25 ft (7.6 m) each
Plug	NEMA 14-50
Enclosure rating	UL Type 4, indoor and outdoor
Operating temperature	-30 C to +50 C (-22 F to 122 F)
Enclosure size	10.25 x 6.25 x 3.75 in
Weight	26.46 lb (12 kg)
Connectivity	Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and the Grizzl-E Connect app
Certification	UL/cUL, file E510712
Warranty	3 years, or 5 years chosen at purchase

Skip this if: Skip it if only one car charges at a time, or if either car needs the full 40 A overnight. One Classic Connect costs far less and gives that car everything the circuit has.

Specifications above are the manufacturer’s published figures. Source: United Chargers. We have not tested this unit — see how we pick.

6. Tesla owners

T48A

Tesla Wall Connector (Gen 3)

Tesla · NACS · 48 A / 11.5 kW · 24 ft cable

48 A, a 24 ft cable and a four-year warranty, the longest in this group. The catch is the connector: Gen 3 is NACS, so a J1772 car needs an adapter.

What is good

• +Four-year warranty, longer than the three-year standard here
• +Up to six units can share one circuit for a two-EV household
• +Wi-Fi with over-the-air firmware updates
• +Scheduled departure and charge stats live in the Tesla app

What is not

• −NACS connector, so a J1772 car needs an adapter on every charge
• −Hardwired only

Published specifications for the Tesla Wall Connector (Gen 3)

Maximum output	48 A / 11.5 kW at 240 V
Connector	NACS (Tesla)
Cable	24 ft
Installation	Hardwired
Power sharing	Up to six units can be linked
Warranty	4 years

Skip this if: Skip it if you drive a J1772 car and do not want to keep an adapter on the cable. Buy a J1772 unit instead.
