EVIQO Level 2 EV Charger Review
One of Amazon's top-selling home EV chargers for good reason. The EVIQO delivers smart Wi-Fi features, a 25-foot cable, and NEMA 4 weatherproofing in plug-in and hardwired configurations — at a competitive mid-range price.

Our Verdict
The EVIQO EV Charger has earned its place among Amazon's top-selling home EV chargers through a combination of solid features, installation flexibility, and competitive pricing. The 40A NEMA 14-50 plug-in version gives homeowners a smart charger without full hardwiring, while the 48A hardwired version matches the raw performance of the top-tier Emporia.
The 25-foot cable is one of the longest available, and the NEMA 4 outdoor rating exceeds the NEMA 3R protection on many competitors. Wi-Fi connectivity, app scheduling, and charging history cover the smart feature checklist adequately.
The primary concern is brand track record. EVIQO is a newer entrant and lacks the multi-year ownership data that established brands carry. Before purchasing, verify that the specific model SKU carries a valid UL or ETL certification. For buyers who have done that check and want a capable mid-range charger at a fair price, EVIQO delivers.
