Best EV Home Charger for Genesis GV60
GV60 is the first all-electric crossover SUV from the startup luxury brand Genesis. The GV60 is built upon a dedicated electric E-GMP platform with an 800 volt architecture, meaning it was built as an EV from the ground up.
The GV60 was launched in 2022 in the US market as a 2023 model. The vehicle is available in Advanced or higher-end Performance trims, and all GV60s in America come standard with dual motor all wheel drive and a 77.4 kWh battery capacity. The Advanced trim GV60 has a 74 kW front and 160 kW rear motors (314 hp), while the Performance model has dual 160 kW motors, good for 429 horsepower. The estimated range for the Advanced and Performance trims is 248 and 235 miles, respectively.
The charging port on the Genesis GV60 features a standard J1772 / CCS connector, compatible with most public charging networks and home chargers. The onboard hardware is capable of charging at 11 kW at home on Level 2 alternating current. See below our list of recommended home chargers for the Genesis GV60.

Wallbox Pulsar Plus (40 and 48 Amp)
The Wallbox Pulsar Plus is our top pick for a charger with a compact and attractive design at just 7.8″ x 7.9″ x 3.9″ in dimensions.
Available in 40 and 48 amp versions, the Pulsar Plus can charge up to 8 times faster than Level 1 (120v) charging. Like the Blink Charger, it features a 25 foot long cable. The 48 amp version is able to deliver up to 11.5 kW of power, cutting down charge times to just a few hours rather than overnight for GV60 drivers.
Wallbox also works great for households with multiple EVs that need to be charged simultaneously. Two or more Wallbox chargers on the same circuit can communicate with each other and balance the available household power between chargers. See full review.

- 40 and 48 amp versions
- 25 foot long charge cable
- Indoor/Outdoor operation
- NEMA 14-50 outlet, or hardwired
- Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity
Pros
Compact design with clear indicator lights, myWallbox app companion app for control and charge monitoring
Cons
The app is rather basic compared to other chargers
Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger (40 Amp)
The Level 2 home charger from Grizzl-E is a compelling option for GV60 owners looking for durability and value. It is a simple utilitarian design metal box with an LED indicator light and heavy duty construction. There are no screens or wifi connectivity options, just an industrial box with 40 amps of power delivery, which should translate to about 9 kW usable charging speed. (GV60 supports scheduled charging from the infotainment screen.)
Grizzl-E is based in Canada, so their products are designed to perform in extreme weather conditions. The operating temperature range is between -22F to 122F for outdoor usage.

AMPROAD iFlow P9 (40 Amp)
AMPROAD offers a unique EV charger that includes features of home based chargers, while at the same time offering portability for occasional road trip use.
This charger includes a wall mounting bracket, a wall cord holder, a generous 25 foot length, and a thick and durable cable. Basically, all the criteria for daily use home EV charging station.
However, you can slide the charger out from its wall mount, roll it up, and tuck it away into the included travel bag, and you have a perfectly adequate portable EV charger.

Emporia Smart Level 2 EV Charger (48 Amp)
The Emporia home EV charger is easy to recommend if you already have other Emporia energy products in your home, as the app can control a variety of Emporia hardware. But the EV charger is a competitive product in its own right. While cheaper than many competitors on the market, Emporia does not cut corners where it matters most in day to day usage.
We really liked the high power output (48 amps hardwired, 40 amps over NEMA 14-50), and the highly durable single piece metal charge cord holder. Most competing brands throw in a cheap plastic cord holder into the box. Installation and app configuration was relatively easy as well. You can see our full review here.

- 24 foot long cable
- Indoor/Outdoor operation
- NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired
