I recommend you don't use a wi-fi charger. It's a PIA for no real benefit in a home. Others can disagree. I use a Grizzle 40 AMP and it has been perfect.

Additionally, I have the included 80 AMP with my ER battery from Ford, and it has been twice as fast as expected. Ford's has wi-fi for some reason I don't care enough about it to read up. I just want to plug-in and get charged. both do that. I also have a Charge-point with wi-fi for when visiting family needs a charge. Charge-point is great, but again the wi-fi is over-kill in my opinion.

These are my opinions and experiences. I hope you enjoy the fill-up away from a gas station.

(I guess everything must have wi-fi these days. Washers and dryers have wi-fi. Really, I need to start the washing machine from a remote location.)

I agree, my Grizzl-E has worked perfectly for two years. I like the feature where it can be set for a maximum charge level- right now it's 24 amps as I have it on a 30A circuit that was installed in my garage to charge the Chevy Volt- that car was limited to 3300W charging so the 24amps was plenty. Even now it always charges overnight so no need to add a 50 amp or higher current circuit.

Emporia has worked great for me since December.
The wiring to the garage is the most expensive part of any charger install.

/political rant on/ If it wasn't for the politics of Musk, would consider the Tesla charger, but not going to give my money to that Putin-lover. /political rant off/

If you understood how the studies are done you'd realize attribution error is a huge thing. This statement in particular is ridiculous. If you google this question, you can find some links that say homes with EV chargers sell for 13% more, but that doesn't mean it is the EV charger itself that is actually doing it. Seriously, the majority of houses can probably have an EVSE installed in the range of $1k to 2k, which is going to be well under 1% of median house value. I'm not going to disagree with what the real estate agents are told, just that the underlying studies are probably flawed.

Bingo!
