What reviewers say about the Home Flex (NACS)
Across two whitelisted testing outlets (three reports), the ChargePoint Home Flex rates as a top Level 2 home charger: Car and Driver's tested 2026 roundup praises its user-friendly app and penny-level cost tracking but calls it one of the most expensive, while InsideEVs scored it 88 on its ChargerRater scale in a 2020 lab review and still counts it among the best chargers in its November 2025 roundup. All units reviewed were J1772-connector versions of the Home Flex; the NACS-connector variant has no dedicated whitelisted lab review.

- Cold-weather cable quality: InsideEVs put the cable through its deep-freeze test in 2020 and in its 2025 roundup still calls it the best cold-weather cable available today · 2 sources

Commonly flagged
- Weak fit for two-EV households: no power sharing between units and the app pairs only one charger per account · 2 sources
- One of the most expensive chargers in its class
- Lesser NEMA 3R outdoor rating than some competitors (Car and Driver's top pick carries NEMA 4), and lower output settings require hardwire installation
Where reviewers disagree Car and Driver's April 2026 tested update names the Emporia Pro its Best Overall and lists the Home Flex without a superlative, flagging its price and outdoor rating, while InsideEVs' November 2025 roundup still counts the Home Flex among the year's best. Both outlets' hands-on evaluations used J1772-connector units; the NACS-connector variant of the Home Flex has no dedicated whitelisted review.
The sources (3)
Charging losses averaged across all tested units: roughly 5 to 8 percent
We found the app to be very user-friendly, with the best displays for charge-rate graphs, and it also shows the total charge time and total energy output during each charge.
The ChargePoint app has the most nuanced cost tracking, allowing us to select from among dozens of possible rate plans from our local utility to pinpoint the actual cost of charging down to the penny, even when on a variable rate.
One of the most expensive
Automatic charging restart after a power interruption: about a minute after power was restored
The integrated connector holster on the ChargePoint Home Flex is one of the best holsters on any EV chargers in our opinion.
We would like to see ChargePoint add the ability to power share, so two Home Flex units can share a single circuit.
The ChargePoint Home Flex scored an 88 on our ChargerRater scale.
It has the best cold-weather cable and one of the highest-quality J1772 connectors available today
The app only allows you to pair one charger to it. So if you're a two-EV family and want to get two ChargePoint Home Flexes, you need to use a second email address and create a new account for the second charger, which is not very user-friendly.
The ChargePoint Home Flex also comes with the ChargePoint app, which is one of the better EV charger apps available today, and it allows you to combine your public ChargePoint charging with your home use in one app.
