Why EV Drivers Prefer the ChargePoint Home Flex for Charging at Home

By
3 Minutes Read

ChargePoint has one of the largest Level 2 charging networks across the country and a helpful app that lets you find nearly every available charger out there (including public DC fast-chargers). Its Home Flex 50-amp smart charger is similar in operation to its public chargers so there is no learning curve for EV drivers. The ChargePoint Home Flex is a fan-favorite for many electric vehicle (EV) drivers - including Tesla drivers. Here are some reasons why:

Sleek, Functional Design 

  • Small footprint - The minimalistic design of the ChargePoint Home Flex allows the charger to blend in with the surrounding environment while not taking up too much space and provides for easy installation. 
  • Extra long cables - Most residential chargers come with a 12-18 ft cable. Although this cable length will typically be sufficient for most garages/EVs, it may not provide the EV driver with much slack. The ChargePoint Home Flex comes standard with a 23 ft charging cable. 
  • Cable Holster - When not in use the connector swivels down and the charger takes up less space. When you remove the connector from the holster and plug in your car, the empty holster swivels upward so it is easier to align the connector when returning it to the holster after charging.

The ChargePoint Home Flex is compatible with all EVs

Flexible Configuration - Choose Your Charging Speeds

The most important aspect when it comes to home chargers is charging speed. A wall outlet just doesn't cut it anymore. Add up to 37 miles of Range Per Hour to your EV with ChargePoint® Home Flex, a 240-volt Level 2 home charger that delivers up to 50 amps of power. Most drivers will use 32 or 40 amps. 48 or 50 amps will give you the fastest charge, but requires hardwired installation and may require electrical upgrades.A ChargePoint Home Flex installation can offer a variety of charging speeds as the charger can be set to different amperage levels ranging from as low as 16 amps all the way up to 50 amps.This means that at its maximum output, the ChargePoint Home Flex delivers 12kW of power. This can equate to up to 37 miles of range added per hour. That is more than enough power to fully charge an EV from empty to full overnight

Easy to Use

Once installed, the ChargePoint Home Flex charger is as easy to use as any other household appliance. Simply plug in your car, and it’ll start charging. To control the charger, you can use your ChargePoint App on any smartphone or tablet. Use the app to view your charging data and charge history and schedule when you want to charge your car. You can also integrate with other household apps such as Amazon Alexa or Nest thermostat—a nice touch that makes sense with this product being marketed toward homes rather than businesses (which are more likely to have their own dedicated software).

Smart, Connected Features

Download the ChargePoint app and connect your Home Flex to WiFi and some great connected features like:

  • Charging Reports - usage, costs, energy consumption, + more
  • Tracking all charge sessions - including public & residential - charging in one place
  • Set scheduled charging
  • Integrate with other apps - like the Amazon Alexa
