What's good
- 48-amp capability at entry-level money
- kWh session caps are genuinely useful for splitting a rented garage's bill
What's not
- 16 ft cable is the shortest here — measure your parking spot first
- 2-year warranty trails the field
Our verdict
The price-first pick. The short cable is the real constraint — if the math works for where the car parks, the rest of the package does 90% of what the expensive units do.
