We first encountered the Grizzle-E product line when searching for a reliable off-road EV charger. We bought the Grizzle-E classic for our Jeep 4xe, and we can attest to its rugged model, which can withstand even the most extreme conditions compared to other EV chargers. Whether you need an outdoor installation or a charger that can withstand the extreme environments of portable EV chargers, the Grizzle-E line of products is the best choice.

Grizzl-E Smart EV Charger

The Grizzl-E Smart EV Charger is an upgraded version of our popular Grizzl-E Classic. It retains the same reliable design but now offers advanced smart charging features. We loved the Classic for our rugged Jeep 4xe adventures and were thrilled to see the smart version available. While it’s not the top choice for those seeking a simple, no-frills charger, it’s an excellent option for homeowners looking for a feature-rich, affordable smart charging solution.

When the Grizzle-E came first to our hands, it was complicated to set up, and the mobile app at that time was the ChargeLab app which had lots of compatibility issues being a third-party app, now all that has changed and Grizzle-E listened to our complaints and released their mobile application the Grizzl-E Connect Application that allowed the Grizzle-E to improve the user experience allowing you to manage your Grizzle-E smart EV charging remotely.

The Grizzl-E Smart EV Charger offers flexible installation options, you can choose from a professional hardwire installation or a plug-in option that requires either a NEMA 6-50 or NEMA 14-50 outlet.
