FAQ
Yes, all models of the Grizzl-E EV Charger work with all Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid models sold in North America. Tesla vehicles use the NACS charging cord and all other vehicles use the J1772 charging cord.
This varies according to the type of charger and the maximum current output settings. Grizzl-E Classic, Smart, Duo and Mini can provide a maximum of 40A where Grizzl-E Ultimate can provide 80A or 48A. All Grizzl-E Chargers have adjustable maximum current for 32A, 24A, and 16A.
When the maximum current output is set to 40A it will add approximately 30 miles (48km) of driving range per hour to your EV or PHEV battery until its fully charged. 80A adds approximately 60 miles (96km), 48A adds approximately 36 miles (58km), 32A adds approximately 24 miles (38km), 24A adds approximately 18 miles (28km), and 16 Amp adds approximately 12 miles.
It also depends on the type of vehicle and the battery range. Most Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) have a battery range of 200-400 miles (320-640 km). So a vehicle with a battery range of 300 miles charging at 40A continuously will take about 10 hours to charge from emply to full.
The only difference between the Grizzl-E Classic, Avalanche, and Extreme edition is the look and color of the enclosure. All other internal electronics and components are the same. The Grizzl-E Smart has a Wi-Fi extension module that allows it to connect to a network and run smart charging features.
Grizzl-E Ultimate features our next generation electronics with the same durible Grizzl-E enclosure. It come with a maximum amperage of 48A or 80A and is hardwire only. The Ultimate and Ultimate Ultra are the exact same except for the look and color of the enclosure.

J1772 and NACS are two different types of charging connectors used to plug the charging station into the vehicle. These two connectors are standard and used in every vehicle in North America.
NACS has typically only been used in Tesla Vehicles, however some other automakers have committed to using the standard in their new vehicles.
Check which type of connector your vehicle has before purchasing the charger.
Adapters are also available to charge NACS Vehicles with J1772 connectors and vice versa.
NEMA 14-50 and NEMA 6-50 are two types of 50A electrical plugs that Grizzl-E uses. NEMA 14-50 has 4 prongs and NEMA 6-50 has 3 prongs – view this diagram to see the configuration of both plugs and receptacles. If you do not already have the electrical receptacle installed, we recommend contacting your electrician to verify what type of receptacle is best for your home before purchasing the charger.

The Grizzl-E Ultimate 80A and 48A are hardwire only chargers. A hardwire kit is included in the package for simple hardwire installation. Read Chapter 7 Hardwiring Connection in the Grizzl-E Ultimate Installation Manaul for more information on how to hard wire the charger.

Yes, all models of Grizzl-E are designed to accommodate several output modes: 16A for 20A dedicated breaker, 24A for 30A dedicated breaker, 32A for 40A dedicated breaker, and 40A for 50 Amp dedicated breaker. The default factory setting is to 40 Amp.
Grizzl-E Ultimate can also use 48A for a 60A breaker and 80A for a 100A breaker.
The maximum current output can be set using the DIP switches on the PCB. Read the product User Manual for more information on how to set maximum current output using the DIP switches.
Using a manual switch to set the maximum output current is the best way to ensure the charger is acceptable to most electrical codes and inspectors in North America. Other EV chargers may allow users to set the current via an app, however, as easy it is to set up, it’s also easy to change those setting in the mobile app by mistake, which could put electrical infrastructure of your home in danger. Since they can easily be changed, many electrical authorities in North America only allow chargers with Apps controlling the maximum output current to be used with breakers with the maximum available circuit. This defeats the purpose of having variable current settings. Utilizing a physical switch inside the charger is a legal and safe means of allowing for variable current settings. This method is also used by Tesla and other EV charger manufacturers.
You should set the charger based on the maximum rating of the circuit breaker regardless of how much the vehicle accepts. The car communicates with the charger to determine how much power it requires, and the charger delivers.
Grizzl-E Classic and Duo do not have any internet connectivity or applications. They opperate in 'dumb' mode and will take charging directions from the vehicle.
Grizzl-E Smart, Ultimate, and Mini can connect to Wi-Fi and use the Grizzl-E Connect app for iOS or Android. These chargers can also operate in 'dumb' mode and do not need to be connected.
