Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Level 2 Portable EV Chargers

Grizzl-E Mini Connect (40A)

4.6

$470

The Grizzl-E Mini Connect is the rugged 40A premium pick. Cast aluminum enclosure that survived an F-150 drive-over test, 40A output for the fastest Level 2 charging here, and a Wi-Fi smart-charging app round out the feature set. The 4-adapter NEMA kit means it plugs into garages, RV outlets, and most standard 30/50A receptacles without buying extra gear. Trade-offs are weight and the $100 premium over MUSTART for equivalent 40A output.

Strengths

— 40A output delivers up to 9.6 kW — fastest Level 2 charging in this round-up
— Cast aluminum NEMA 4X enclosure — survived being run over by an F-150 in durability testing
— Wi-Fi-enabled with smart scheduling, monitoring, and energy use tracking

Watch-outs

— Heavier than the Lectron WiFi 40A or MUSTART 40A
— Premium pricing — more expensive than the MUSTART 40A by ~$100
— App setup requires Wi-Fi connection — pure offline use loses smart features

Lectron Level 1/2 Portable (Dual NEMA)

Ranked #5 in Best Level 2 Portable EV Chargers

Lectron Level 1/2 Portable (Dual NEMA)

4.3

$230

The Lectron Dual NEMA is the simplest entry-level pick. Two plugs (5-15 for Level 1, 14-50 for Level 2) in one charger, 32A output, and a price point that undercuts every other Level 2 pick here. The trade-offs are exactly what you'd expect at this price: no Wi-Fi, no delay timer, 32A vs 40A speed. For an EV owner who occasionally needs Level 2 portability away from a hard-wired home unit, it's the right value-tier pick.

Strengths

— Dual NEMA plugs (5-15 + 14-50) cover Level 1 and Level 2 in one charger
— 32A Level 2 output for up to 7.7 kW
— Cheapest pick in this round-up with both Level 1 and Level 2 capability

Watch-outs

— 32A is below the 40A picks (Grizzl-E, MUSTART, Lectron WiFi)
— No Wi-Fi or smart features
— Plastic enclosure with ETL certification

How they stack up

Grizzl-E Mini Connect (40A)

Most durable construction. Ties with the Lectron WiFi 40A and MUSTART 40A on amp output but exceeds them on enclosure rating. More expensive than the MUSTART 40A; cheaper than the Webasto Go. Includes more NEMA adapters out of the box than any other pick here.

Lectron Level 1/2 Portable (Dual NEMA)

Cheapest pick in this round-up. 32A speed matches the Webasto Go but at half the price. Lacks Wi-Fi like the MUSTART 40A but with dual-plug flexibility the MUSTART lacks. Less premium than every other pick here.
