Our Grizzl-E Review
A strong pick for buyers who want durability and independence from an app. Choose the Classic if you do not need scheduling.
The Classic 40A lists at $379.99 but Grizzl-E's own store had it at $299.99 under a tariff-related discount at verification in July 2026, with factory refurbished units at $249.99. The smart version, Classic Connect with J1772 or NACS connector, is $349.99. The 80 A hardwired Ultimate is $899.99, or $629.99 refurbished. Plug-in and hardwired are the same unit, the NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 plug is removable, so there is no hardwire price difference. A 5-year warranty upgrade adds $100 on the Classic line. The dual-port Duo still appears on the site but had no price listed on the current store at verification.

Strengths & Considerations
Strengths
- +Rugged UL listed cast-aluminum NEMA 4 (UL Type 4) enclosure rated for indoor and outdoor use and marketed as fire resistant, a strong build for the price.
- +40 A / 9.6 kW output with field-adjustable current (16, 24, 32, or 40 A) and a long cable of about 24 ft.
- +The Classic is intentionally a non-connected unit with no app or WiFi, which owners repeatedly report just works with no connectivity headaches.
- +Flexible installation: ships with a NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 plug and the plug is removable for hardwiring, same unit, no price difference.
- +Verified store pricing of $299.99 on sale ($379.99 list) makes it one of the cheapest UL listed metal-body chargers, with factory refurbs at $249.99.
- +3-year replacement warranty with no registration required, upgradeable to 5 years for $100, plus ENERGY STAR certification and Canadian manufacturing.
Watch Out For
- −The Classic has no smart features at all, no app, WiFi, scheduling, or energy monitoring, so scheduling has to be handled from the car.
- −The connected models (formerly Smart, now Classic Connect) have documented WiFi reliability problems, the metal enclosure weakens the antenna and owners report frequent offline drops.
- −The companion app has a weak reputation in owner forums, and the charger only works on 2.4 GHz WiFi.
- −The core line tops out at 40 A / 9.6 kW, buyers who want 48 A or more must jump to the $899.99 Ultimate.
Before You Buy: Confirm These
These are Grizzl-E's own documented terms and open questions, not our own test results. Confirm the specifics in writing before you order.
- ?The Classic has no app, no WiFi and no energy reporting, check whether your utility rebate requires a connected charger before choosing it.
- ?The connected models are 2.4 GHz WiFi only and the metal enclosure weakens signal, test coverage at the exact mounting spot before install.
- ?40 A charging needs a 50 A circuit, and the 80 A Ultimate needs a 100 A circuit plus hardwiring, get the panel checked first.
- ?The lineup was reshuffled recently, the Smart became the Classic Connect and the old store was retired, make sure a discounted listing is current stock and not the discontinued Smart.
Why Consider Grizzl-E?
Plug-in or hardwired, cast-aluminium body, made in Canada. The Classic is a non-connected charger with no app dependency; a Smart model exists for buyers who want scheduling.
Key Models

Methodology
Brand verdicts are based on buyer fit, app and accessory ecosystem, support path, price pressure, and the risks that tend to show up after install. A strong reply from a manufacturer can improve factual clarity, but it does not improve placement.
If support coverage, warranty language, or dealer access are thin, we would rather say that plainly than hide it behind marketing copy.
