Best EV Chargers for an Airbnb or Rental Property

A charger at a property you don't live in has a different job. It will be used by strangers, it cannot be reset by walking to the garage, and it has to survive whoever parks there next. Speed matters less than control, records and a body that shrugs off weather.

By Stephen V.Last updated How we pick

EV drivers look for it. A Level 2 charger at a short-term rental or a long-term tenancy is one of the cheaper amenities you can add that a specific group of guests will actively search for, and it costs the same electricity as a dryer running for a few hours. But the buying question is not the one a homeowner asks. You will not be there. You cannot tell a guest which end goes in the car, you cannot walk out and press a reset button, and you cannot see whether the neighbor has been quietly charging on your driveway all winter.

So we ranked on four things a host actually needs, in this order. One: lockout from your phone, so the charger only runs when a paying guest is in residence. Two: a record of energy used, so you can price the amenity, bill a long-term tenant, or simply know what it costs. Three: a sealed, hard body, because a rental charger lives outdoors more often than a homeowner’s does and gets treated worse. Four: nothing that needs you on site— no schedule a guest has to understand, no WiFi pairing they have to redo.

One thing to know before the list: none of the units we list publishes a card reader or payment terminal. Those are commercial features and commercial prices. For a home-class charger, “access control” means an app switch, and “billing” means a kWh figure you read and apply to a rate yourself.

How this is funded: we earn a commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which product we recommend, and we’ll tell you when we’d skip one. Full disclosure.

Grizzl-E Classic Connect 40A

Grizzl-E Classic Connect 40A

Grizzl-E's cast-aluminum build with a WiFi radio in it. You get the IP67 body and the cold-flexible 25 ft cable that made the brand's name, plus scheduling, usage history and utility demand-response programs in the Grizzl-E Connect app — in a plug-in unit that comes off the wall when you move. The amperage is still set with a DIP switch, which is either charmingly honest or annoyingly analog depending on your taste.

ChargePoint Home Flex

ChargePoint Home Flex

The safest default for most homes: you set the amperage in the app to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50A, so one charger fits whatever circuit your panel can spare today and scales up if you upgrade later. The app is the most mature here, firmware arrives over the air, and the warranty is long.

Grizzl-E Duo Connect 40A

Grizzl-E Duo Connect 40A

One box, two cables, one circuit. The Duo Connect lets a two-EV household charge both cars overnight without a second charger, a second breaker or a panel upgrade — because it splits one 40-amp supply between the connectors rather than doubling it. That is the whole trade: convenience and a much cheaper install, at half the speed each when both cars are plugged in.

Lectron Nexus 48A J1772

A full 48 amps with nothing to log into. Lectron's Nexus body is IP66-sealed for an outdoor wall, the cable is a heavy 15 mm compound the brand says is built to stay flexible in freezing weather, and the safety paperwork is the real thing — ETL to UL 2594/2231/2251, plus ENERGY STAR. Hardwired only, and there is no app, which is the entire point.

Grizzl-E Classic Connect 40A

Grizzl-E's cast-aluminum build with a WiFi radio in it. You get the IP67 body and the cold-flexible 25 ft cable that made the brand's name, plus scheduling, usage history and utility demand-response programs in the Grizzl-E Connect app — in a plug-in unit that comes off the wall when you move. The amperage is still set with a DIP switch, which is either charmingly honest or annoyingly analog depending on your taste.

Strengths

  • Cast-aluminum NEMA 4 / IP67 body rated -22F to 122F, in a plug-in unit
  • WiFi and the Grizzl-E Connect app for scheduling, usage history and remote lockout
  • 25 ft cold-flexible output cable, offered with a J1772 or a NACS connector

Trade-offs

  • 40 amps is the plug-in ceiling — no 48A option in this model
  • Amperage is set by a physical DIP switch, not in the app
  • Grizzl-E's own pages don't publish an ENERGY STAR certification for this model

The value pick that doesn't feel cheap: a full 48 amps, ENERGY STAR listing, WiFi with genuine energy monitoring, and a 25 ft cable — for well under what the big names charge. It's the one we point most people to first.

Strengths

  • 48A output and ENERGY STAR at a value price
  • The app actually tracks energy use, not just on/off
  • Long 25 ft cable and a remote holster in the box

Trade-offs

  • 48A hardwired needs a 60A circuit; on a NEMA 14-50 plug it's limited to 40A
  • App polish trails ChargePoint's, and support is smaller

#3Best for guest self-service

ChargePoint Home Flex

The safest default for most homes: you set the amperage in the app to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50A, so one charger fits whatever circuit your panel can spare today and scales up if you upgrade later. The app is the most mature here, firmware arrives over the air, and the warranty is long.

Strengths

  • Adjustable 16-50A means it fits a small panel now and a bigger circuit later
  • The most mature app of the group — scheduling, reminders, usage history, over-the-air firmware
  • 3-year warranty and a long 23 ft cable
  • Sold hardwired or on a NEMA 6-50 or NEMA 14-50 plug, in J1772 or NACS

Trade-offs

  • You pay a premium over value 48A chargers for the app and brand
  • Full 50A output needs a 60A circuit most older panels don't have to spare
  • The plug-in SKUs cap at 40A, so the top speed is a hardwired-only feature

UL/cUL listed, ENERGY STAR

Our charging-speed math. At its 50A max (12 kW) and a typical 3.5 miles per kWh, the Home Flex adds roughly 42 miles of range per hour. Dial it down to 40A to fit a 50A circuit and you get about 34. ChargePoint's own, more conservative claim is up to 37 miles per hour hardwired and 30 on the plug-in SKUs.

Build note. Amperage is set in the app to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50A. The plug-in SKUs are capped at 40A, so the full 50A is a hardwired-only figure. UL and cUL listed per UL 2594 and UL 2231; firmware updates over the air, and the station stores up to 90 days of session data locally if the network drops.

#4Best for two guest cars

Grizzl-E Duo Connect 40A

One box, two cables, one circuit. The Duo Connect lets a two-EV household charge both cars overnight without a second charger, a second breaker or a panel upgrade — because it splits one 40-amp supply between the connectors rather than doubling it. That is the whole trade: convenience and a much cheaper install, at half the speed each when both cars are plugged in.

Strengths

  • Charges two EVs from one 40 A circuit — no second breaker, no panel upgrade
  • Grizzl-E's cast-aluminum, IP67-sealed body with two 25 ft cold-flexible cables
  • Per-connector current limits and scheduling in the Grizzl-E Connect app

Trade-offs

  • 40 A is the TOTAL, not per car — two cars charging at once get about 4.8 kW each
  • Costs roughly what two single chargers cost, so the saving is in the wiring, not the box
  • This Amazon SKU is NACS-to-NACS; a mixed-fleet household needs a different cable pairing

Our charging-speed math. The 40 A / 9.6 kW rating is for the whole unit. One car alone gets the full 9.6 kW — about 34 miles of range per hour at ~3.5 mi/kWh. Two cars at once split it: roughly 4.8 kW, or about 17 miles per hour, each.

Build note. Two 25 ft output cables from a single cast-aluminum, IP67-sealed body rated -30C to +50C, with an LED per connector and a DIP-switch current selector (16/24/32/40 A). Grizzl-E states dual charging automatically splits the available current in half, or you can set each connector's current in the Grizzl-E Connect app.

#5Best if the driveway is private

Lectron Nexus 48A J1772

A full 48 amps with nothing to log into. Lectron's Nexus body is IP66-sealed for an outdoor wall, the cable is a heavy 15 mm compound the brand says is built to stay flexible in freezing weather, and the safety paperwork is the real thing — ETL to UL 2594/2231/2251, plus ENERGY STAR. Hardwired only, and there is no app, which is the entire point.

Strengths

  • Full 48A / 11.5 kW hardwired, with ENERGY STAR and ETL listings to UL 2594/2231/2251
  • IP66 enclosure and a 15 mm cable Lectron builds to stay flexible in freezing weather
  • Ships with the wall-mount J-hook and plug holder, and there is no app or account

Trade-offs

  • Hardwired only — a licensed electrician and a 60-amp circuit, with no plug-in option
  • 23 ft cable is shorter than the 25 ft several rivals ship
  • Lectron publishes no operating-temperature range, so we can't state a cold rating

Our charging-speed math. At 48A (11.5 kW) and ~3.5 miles per kWh, about 40 miles of range per hour — a full overnight charge for almost any battery on the market.

Build note. IP66-sealed housing for indoor or outdoor mounting, with a heavy-duty 15.0 mm (±0.3 mm) 23 ft output cable Lectron states is engineered to stay flexible and easy to wrap in freezing weather.

The four things a host cares about, as published by each brand: whether you can lock it from your phone, what record it keeps, how it connects to the supply and how well it is sealed. Blanks read “Not published” because that is what the brand’s page says.

Lockout is the feature that matters most

A charger on a driveway is a 240-volt outlet anyone with a car can use. The fix is not a padlock on the handle; it is a charger whose output you can switch off remotely and back on for a booking. Grizzl-E publishes this explicitly — the Classic Connect’s app includes “lockout to prevent unauthorized use,” and the Duo Connect lists “remote lockout” — which is why the two Grizzl-E units take the top and the two-car slots. Emporia and ChargePoint both publish app scheduling and control, which gets you most of the way, but neither page names a lockout function, so we do not credit one.

The no-app alternative is the breaker. A Lectron Nexus on its own circuit can be switched off at the panel between guests, which works fine if the panel is inside a locked space and you or a cleaner is there between stays. It does not work for a remote host with weekly turnovers.

Records: what to bill, and how to know

Most hosts fold charging into the nightly rate and want only a rough idea of the cost. For that, the arithmetic is simple: a typical overnight session might add 30 to 40 kWh, and the EIA puts the 2025 US residential average at 17.30 cents per kWh, so a full session is in the range of five to seven dollars at that rate. Your own rate is on your bill; our cost-to-charge guide has the per-mile version.

A long-term tenancy is different: you may want to bill actual use. Emporia’s app reports per-session energy and cost and is the clearest of the group for that; ChargePoint’s datasheet publishes power measurement to ±2% and keeps session history, storing up to 90 days locally if the network drops. Neither is a utility-grade revenue meter, and for a formal sub-metered lease you should ask your electrician about a dedicated submeter on the circuit. For an informal monthly figure both are more than adequate.

Where it lives decides the body

A rental charger is more likely to be outdoors, more likely to be mounted where a guest backs into it, and less likely to have its cable coiled properly. That argues for a cast-aluminum body and a high sealing rating. Grizzl-E publishes IP67 on a cast-aluminum enclosure for both units here; Emporia publishes NEMA Type 4; Lectron publishes IP66; ChargePoint publishes Type 3R, which is a rain-and-sleet rating rather than a hose-down one and is the lowest of the group. Our ratings explainer covers what those codes actually promise.

Plug-in or hardwired matters more at a rental than at home. A plug-in unit on a NEMA 14-50 can be unplugged and taken — by a departing tenant, or by anyone — while a hardwired charger cannot. ChargePoint’s datasheet also notes that an outdoor plug-in install needs an outdoor-rated GFCI breaker upstream. If the charger is outside and in public view, hardwire it.

How we separated them

Grizzl-E Classic Connectis first because it is the only 40-amp unit here that publishes a lockout, in a cast-aluminum IP67 body rated -22°F to 122°F, on a NEMA 14-50 plug that an electrician can also hardwire. The DIP switch sets 40, 32, 24 or 16 amps to match whatever circuit the property has. Grizzl-E publishes no ENERGY STAR mark for it, which matters only if a rebate program requires one.

Emporia Level 2takes the records slot: per-session energy and cost in the app, 48 amps hardwired or 40 on a plug, UL listed and ENERGY STAR, NEMA 4. If your main question is “what did that guest cost me,” this answers it best.

ChargePoint Home Flex is here for the guest who has never used a charger: the handle, the light and the app are the most familiar in the category, and there is nothing to configure at the unit. The trade is the Type 3R enclosure and no published lockout. Best in a garage, less so on an open driveway.

Grizzl-E Duo Connectis the two-car answer for a property that sleeps two households: two 25 ft cables from one 40-amp circuit, per-connector current limits and remote lockout in the app. The Amazon SKU we link is the NACS-to-NACS cable pair — a rental serving mixed cars would want the J1772 or mixed pairing Grizzl-E sells direct. Read our two-car roundup for the amps math.

Lectron Nexus 48Ais the private-driveway pick: 48 amps, IP66, ETL listed to UL 2594, ENERGY STAR, and no app, no WiFi and no account a guest could log out of. Control is at the breaker. If your property’s parking is behind a gate or in a locked garage, that is enough, and it is the cheapest unit on this page to own.

What we left off, and why

The portable units — Lectron 40A, ELEGRP, Ampure Go — because a charger that lives in a bag walks away from a rental. The Wallbox Pulsar Plus, which publishes Bluetooth and app control and would suit a host well, but at a premium the lockout-equipped Grizzl-E undercuts. And the Autel units, whose apps we cannot verify carry a lockout from the pages we cite.

Before you list it as an amenity

Have the circuit installed and permitted by a licensed electrician — our permits guideexplains why that matters more at a property you rent out. Post a one-line card by the charger: how to start, and who to message if the light is red. And decide the pricing before the first guest asks; a flat “charging included” is the simplest answer and the one most hosts land on.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best EV charger for an Airbnb?

A hardwired or plug-in Level 2 unit you can lock from your phone, in a sealed body. The Grizzl-E Classic Connect is our top pick because Grizzl-E publishes an app lockout 'to prevent unauthorized use' in a cast-aluminum IP67 enclosure. The Emporia Level 2 is the pick if per-session energy records matter more than lockout.

Can I stop guests or neighbors using the charger when nobody is booked?

With a charger that publishes a lockout, yes — the Grizzl-E Classic Connect and Duo Connect both do, from the app. Emporia and ChargePoint publish app scheduling and control but not a named lockout. A no-app charger like the Lectron Nexus can be switched off at its breaker between stays if you or a cleaner has panel access.

How much does it cost me when a guest charges?

Roughly the kWh delivered times your rate. A typical overnight session adds around 30 to 40 kWh; at the EIA's 2025 US residential average of 17.30 cents per kWh that is about five to seven dollars. Your own rate is on your bill, and a charger with per-session records — the Emporia is clearest — tells you the actual figure.

Should a rental charger be plugged in or hardwired?

Hardwired if it is outdoors or in public view. A plug-in unit on a NEMA 14-50 can be unplugged and removed; a hardwired one cannot. ChargePoint's datasheet also notes an outdoor plug-in install needs an outdoor-rated GFCI breaker upstream. In a locked garage a plug-in is fine and cheaper to install.

Do any home chargers take payment from guests?

None in our registry publishes a card reader or payment function — those are commercial-charger features. For a home-class unit, 'access control' means an app switch and 'billing' means reading a kWh figure and applying your rate. Most hosts include charging in the nightly rate instead.

Do I need a charger for both Tesla and non-Tesla guests?

Practically, a J1772 charger covers everyone: non-Tesla EVs plug straight in, and Lectron's FAQ notes Tesla owners use the J1772-to-Tesla adapter included with most Teslas. Keeping a spare adapter at the property is the cheap insurance. Our Tesla-plus-non-Tesla guide covers the dual-cable route if you want no adapter at all.
