Where to buy: the lowest verified Level 2 prices at each common size
Selection rule, in full
Two rows each at 32, 40 and 48 A, the sizes most home chargers are sold at. Rows are the lowest verified prices among the models that match, ties by name; nothing is ranked on quality. Where none of them has a seller we link to, the lowest-priced matching model that has one is added as a last, labeled row.
Each price is the lowest verified at the named seller on the date the model's own page shows. Buy links open the seller's page for that exact model and are affiliate links that support this site; see the affiliate disclosure.
Every figure on this page is computed from the same dataset that powers the comparison table, not from a survey or an estimate.
Why a median and not an average
A handful of EV chargers cost several times what the rest do, and an average lets those few set a number nobody actually pays. The median is the middle model: half cost less, half cost more. The quartile columns below show where the middle half of each group sits, which is the range a buyer is really choosing within.
