ChargePoint CPF50

ChargePoint CPF50 is a Level 2 home EV charger from ChargePoint with up to 50 A (12 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 18 ft cable, networked smart charging.

MSRP: $899

Our take

ChargePoint’s outdoor-rated 50 A unit carries a $899 MSRP, the highest priced entry in its class here, and the spec sheet does not obviously justify the premium: 4.6 W at idle sits in the top fifth of the 20-model cohort, and the 18-foot cable is seven feet under the class median — a real constraint if the car parks nose-out or the panel is on the far wall. What the price buys is the ChargePoint network and app, which is a genuine differentiator for scheduling rather than a spec-sheet number.
