Yes, if you plug it into a regular 120v outlet. But you can also plug it into a NEMA 14-50 240v outlet for a charging rate of around 21 miles per hour.
Glad to see some good reviews on the Grizzl-E classic. I just bought one and I expect to install it this weekend. I just couldn't justify paying almost twice the price for the Chargepoint Flex (which was appealing due to the ability to charge at 48V hardwired, which I'll be doing for my charger). I like that the Grizzl-E appears to be well built, and I feel like I can utilize the "smart" features in Fordpass to save $300+.
My utility offered a $250 instant rebate on the CPHF. That definitely played a part in my decision to go with a 'smart' EVSE.
That's a great deal, and would have swayed my decision as well. The Grizzl-E has a sturdy, no frills look.....the Chargepoint Flex just looks cool!
I got the Grizzl-e for the same reasons, and that it will also do 40A. Couldn't rationalize the extra $ for smart charging when FordPass can do the same.
Just to be clear, FordPass can do some of the things a smart charger can do, but not everything. Showing the charging speed (power draw) is one example.
The other reason was so that I didn’t have to hardware the 48amp Ford connect.
This video explains everything in a very easy to understand way and should help you decide what you might want for home charging. A 14-50 240v 50 amp outlet with the charger that comes with the car will work for many people.
Yes check with your accountant, but I think the personal credit is limited to your main home. So if you install one now, then move and install another, you are eligible for double credit.
