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