Why We Like It

The EVIQO EVIPOWER-2 Gen 2 combines practical charging power with a user-friendly plug-in design. Its 40A output, 9.6 kW rating, J1772 connector, and 25 ft cable cover the needs of many everyday EV drivers without requiring a permanent hardwired installation when a suitable outlet is already available. We also like that the charger includes smart app features for start and stop control, scheduling, current adjustment, reminders, and energy tracking over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The IP66/NEMA 4 enclosure, UL/ETL/FCC/Energy Star certifications, rubberized connector, metal latch, fluorescent holster, and side reset button add to its everyday usability and buyer confidence.

What Buyers Notice

Public buyer feedback commonly highlights easy setup when a suitable NEMA 14-50 outlet is already available, a sturdy-feeling unit, useful app monitoring, and the convenience of the long cable. Buyers should still confirm their vehicle connector type, outlet rating, circuit capacity, and Wi-Fi setup before ordering.

Who Should Buy It

Buy the EVIQO EVIPOWER-2 Gen 2 if you drive a J1772-compatible EV or plug-in hybrid, have access to a proper NEMA 14-50 outlet, and want a smart 40A home charger with a long cable, app scheduling, and indoor/outdoor-rated construction.

Detailed Review

The EVIQO EVIPOWER-2 Gen 2 40A Level 2 EV Charger is built for home EV owners who want a faster 240V charging setup without choosing a permanently hardwired charger. This version uses a NEMA 14-50 plug and is designed for a dedicated 240V circuit, making it a practical option for garages or driveways that already have the right outlet installed.

Performance is one of the main reasons to consider it. The charger is rated for up to 40A output and 9.6 kW, which is a strong level for a plug-in home charger. The J1772 connector makes it a direct fit for many non-Tesla EVs and plug-in hybrids in North America. Tesla drivers can still use it with a compatible J1772-to-NACS adapter, but that adapter is not included.

The 25 ft cable is a useful everyday feature because it gives more reach around different parking positions. This matters if the charging port is on the far side of the vehicle or if the charger needs to serve more than one parking spot. The included holster can also be mounted separately from the charger body, which helps keep the connector stored in a convenient place.

Smart controls are another strength. The app can start or stop charging, set charging schedules, adjust current from 6A to 40A, send reminders, and track energy use. These features are especially helpful for drivers who want to charge overnight or better understand home charging sessions. The smart features require a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi internet connection.

For build quality, EVIQO lists an IP66/NEMA 4 weather-resistant enclosure along with UL, ETL, FCC, and Energy Star certifications. The rubberized J1772 connector, metal latch, fluorescent holster, and side reset button are small but practical details that make the charger feel more thoughtfully designed for daily use.

The main thing to check before buying is your home electrical setup. A plug-in Level 2 charger still depends on the right circuit, outlet, and installation quality. If the outlet is not already installed, it is worth using a licensed electrician to confirm the setup is appropriate for continuous EV charging.
