Of the Level 2 home chargers we checked in makers' own US stores on November 6, this was the lowest price by more than $100: Lectron's NEXUS was $419.99, Emporia's Classic started at $449 and ChargePoint's Home Flex at $549. The $349.99 reference matches archived store pages from September and October.
No end date is stated, so the price can change any day. Opened or installed units can't be returned, and unused returns cost a 25% restocking fee. You need a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 outlet; if you don't have one, an electrician adds that cost. The price includes a 3-year warranty; 5 years cost $100 more.
Drivers who have a NEMA 14-50 outlet, or are adding one, and want a simple 40-amp charger with either connector.
United Chargers announced the sale on November 5 for all Wi-Fi chargers in its US store. The Classic Connect drops from $349.99 to $299.99 with a 3-year warranty; with a 5-year warranty it is $399.99. The J1772 and NACS versions cost the same.
According to the maker, it charges at up to 40 amps (9.6 kW at 240 volts; the page says 10 kW), has a 25-foot cable, a NEMA 14-50 plug, current adjustable from 16 to 40 amps, a UL Type 4 indoor/outdoor enclosure and Wi-Fi with an app. The listing names UL/cUL file E510712, which we did not look up separately. These are manufacturer claims; we found no independent test of this model.
The same sale lists the hardwired Ultimate 48A at $349.99 against an "old price" of $479.99. Archived store pages show it at $383.99 in late September, so the saving there is about $34 rather than $130 (our calculation). We only list the Classic Connect, where the reference price holds up.
There is no federal credit to stack: the IRS says the home charger credit can't be claimed for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. Some utilities still pay rebates, but several require Energy Star, which the Classic Connect page does not list. Whether a plug-in unit or a hardwired one suits your garage is covered in “Hardwired or plug-in EV charger? Choose the installation before the box”.
The catch: A licensed electrician has to install it, and Enphase itself puts a standard installation at around $1,000. Shipping, returns and sales tax are not stated on the product page. The 5-year warranty depends on registering the charger within 30 days of installation.
The catch: Only LADWP residential power customers qualify. The charger must be network capable (Wi-Fi or internet) and installed before you apply; claiming installation needs a licensed electrician and a finaled LADBS permit. Payment can take up to 120 days, funds are limited and LADWP may waitlist applications.

The catch: You must join a time-of-use rate, allow demand response, enroll in the smart charging program and charge overnight between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The charger must be UL/ETL listed and Energy Star certified (or made by the carmaker) and on the utility's approved list, which we have not read. The utility's own pages disagree on details such as "instant" versus "cash back".
