Grizzl-E Classic: Specifications

The Grizzl-E Classic is a Level 2 EV charger made by United Chargers in Canada. Its defining characteristic is its IP67 waterproof rating — the same standard used in military equipment. This makes it the top choice for outdoor installations, exposed garages, and coastal California properties where salt air and moisture are concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t the Grizzl-E have Wi-Fi?

United Chargers designed the Grizzl-E Classic as a “set it and forget it” charger. The absence of Wi-Fi eliminates potential connectivity failures and software vulnerabilities. For homeowners who simply want reliable charging without app management, this is a feature, not a limitation.

Is the Grizzl-E safe for outdoor installation in California?

Yes. Its IP67 rating means it can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. For California coastal properties, mountain cabins, or any outdoor installation, the Grizzl-E is the most weather-resistant residential charger available.

Does the Grizzl-E work with all EVs?

Yes. The Grizzl-E Classic uses a J1772 connector, compatible with all EVs sold in the US. Tesla owners need the included J1772 adapter.
