Which electric plug is best for my electric car?
I’ve been charging my EV at home, using a standard electrical outlet and the cable that came with the car. Is this fine, or should I be looking into other options? Which electric plug is best for my electric car?

Either way, you’re golden—it just depends on how fast you want to get your charge and how far you want to go. The cable that your car came with is perfectly suited to your garage’s electrical outlet, and you’ll get an overnight charge that will give you the mileage you need for your daily routine.
But if you’re looking to travel more than 100 miles in a day, says
Consumer Reports
, you might consider investing in something a little bigger and badder. Here are three great options from Consumer Reports, all available for purchase on Amazon, for upgraded wall chargers:- The **JuiceBox 40 **costs $569, can pair with a smartphone, and will soup up your car in no time. Plus, it comes with a 25-foot cable, in case you feel like making some loop art.
- The **ChargePoint Home Flex **costs $699 and is also compatible with a smartphone. It’s a bit more powerful than the JuiceBox, but comes with a cord that’s slightly shorter, which feels fair.
- The **Blink HQ 100 **wins on cost in this trio, coming in at $400. It’s not as powerful and doesn’t have the connectivity of the other two, but it will get the job done.
After you hook up your new wall charger, why not relax by saving on
