ChargePoint Home coming to Amazon for $499

ChargePoint is likely best known to electric vehicle drivers as the company behind the network of public charging stations. The company also offers home charging options and now the ChargePoint Home EVSE is being offered directly from Amazon. The 240-volt charger starts at $499 and then based on options (a 12-, 18-, and 25-foot cord; 16 or 32 amps) tops out at $749. The ChargePoint Home also offers a smartphone connection and all of the scheduling options EV drivers expect from a modern charging station.

The indoor/outdoor Home will be available on Amazon later this year. ChargePoint also offers a home charging unit for people who live in apartments. Bosch has been selling a Level 2 home connector for $450 since 2013, but that one doesn't talk to your smartphone.

Plus ChargePoint Home works with Nest so drivers can save on energy costs.
