Webasto doesn’t show up anywhere else on this site — not as a passing mention, not in a comparison table. That’s a real gap: the German supplier best known for automotive heating systems has sold home EV chargers in the US for years, and its press materials tout a smart, app-connected, hardwireable charger to rival ChargePoint or Emporia. The catch, once you actually go looking to buy one, is that it’s not for sale yet.
Webasto by the numbers
- 32A/7.7kW is Webasto’s real US ceiling — the Go, TurboDX 32A, and TurboDX 16A are the only models actually listed for sale to US home buyers, and none exceeds 32A, per current Amazon listings.
- Webasto’s own newsroom announced a smart TurboDX 2 charger with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a ChargeConnect app, and a hardwire option, describing US availability starting “later in 2024,” per Webasto’s press release — it does not appear as a buyable Amazon listing as of this guide’s research.
- The Go’s 20-foot cable and dual-voltage adapters (NEMA 5-15 and NEMA 14-50) let it plug into either a standard wall outlet or a 240V EV circuit, per the manufacturer’s product listing.
- The Go carries a shorter standard warranty than most rivals on this site — 2 years per an independent charger-review site’s coverage, versus the 3-year warranty typical of ChargePoint, Emporia, and Wallbox’s home chargers.
- No recall applies to the Go or either TurboDX model — CPSC and NHTSA records show only an older TurboCord 16A recall (2018, capacitor defect) and a 2023 GM recall of Webasto-made Bolt EUV OEM cords, both different, discontinued product lines.
Webasto lineup compared
| Model | Best for | Max output | Voltage | App | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Webasto Go | Best overall / flexibility | 32A / 7.7 kW | Dual (120V/240V) | None | ~$549 |
| TurboDX 32A | Best value fixed Level 2 | 32A / 7.7 kW | 240V only | None | ~$400-600 (varies) |
| TurboDX 16A | Budget / backup | 16A / 3.8 kW | 240V only | None | Lower cost than the 32A |
1. Webasto Go — Best Overall
Webasto Go
- Plugs into either a standard 120V NEMA 5-15 outlet (1.4kW, Level 1 speed) or a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet (7.7kW, full Level 2 speed) — both adapters ship in the box.
- 20-foot cable, IP67 weatherproof rating, and built-in thermal detection, auto-restart, and ground-fault protection, per the manufacturer's listing.
- UL and cUL listed, no app or Wi-Fi — a straightforward plug-and-charge unit.
- Standard warranty runs 2 years, shorter than the 3-year coverage typical of this site's other portable picks — worth confirming current terms before buying.

At 32A/7.7kW, the Go matches the output of this site’s best portable EV charger pick — the difference is the included dual-voltage adapters, which mean one charger works whether you’re plugged into a garage 120V outlet today or a dedicated 240V circuit after an electrician visit.
2. TurboDX 32A — Best Value Fixed Level 2
Webasto TurboDX (32A)
- Same 32A/7.7kW output as the Go, but built as a fixed plug-in unit rather than a dual-voltage portable — sold in 15-foot and 25-foot cable lengths.
- UL Listed and "Automaker Approved" for Ford, Nissan, Fiat, Kia, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Volvo, Chevrolet, BMW, and Mini, per current Amazon listings.
- No app, no Wi-Fi — the same no-frills approach as the Go, minus the dual-voltage flexibility.
- Carries a 3-year warranty, a year longer than the Go's standard coverage.
If you already know you’re plugging into a dedicated 240V outlet and don’t need the Go’s 120V fallback, the TurboDX 32A gets you the same 7.7kW output with a longer warranty — check current Amazon pricing against the Go before deciding, since street prices on both models shift by seller and cable length.
3. TurboDX 16A — Budget / Backup
Webasto TurboDX (16A)
- Half the amperage of the 32A models — 3.8kW output, suited to lower-capacity circuits or as a backup unit rather than a primary daily charger.
- Same 15-foot/25-foot cable options and no-app design as the 32A TurboDX.
- A reasonable pick if your panel can't spare a full 30-40A circuit, or if you want a second charger for a garage with an older, lower-rated outlet already in place.
Where’s the smart, hardwireable Webasto?
Webasto’s own newsroom has publicized a very different charger: the TurboDX 2 (also referred to as Turbo Connect), with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a ChargeConnect app, cluster mode that lets up to four units share one circuit, J1772 or NACS connector options, and — critically — a genuine hardwire install option, not just plug-in. Webasto’s press release described US availability starting “later in 2024.” That’s the charger that would actually compete head-to-head with this site’s other single-brand roundups like ChargePoint or Emporia.
As of this guide’s research, it isn’t there. Searching current Amazon listings turns up only the Go and the two TurboDX models covered above — every one of them a manual, app-free, plug-in-only charger capped at 32A. If you specifically want Webasto’s smart hardwired unit, verify it’s actually shipping and sold before planning around it; don’t assume the press-release spec sheet describes what you can order today.
How to pick the right Webasto charger
- Get the Go if you’re not sure yet whether you’ll have a 240V outlet. The dual-voltage adapters mean it works today on a standard wall outlet and later on a dedicated EV circuit, without buying a second charger.
- Get the TurboDX 32A if your 240V outlet is already installed. Same 7.7kW output as the Go, a longer warranty, and typically a lower price once you don’t need the dual-voltage hardware.
- Get the TurboDX 16A only for a low-capacity circuit or as a backup. At 3.8kW it roughly doubles your charging time versus the 32A models — fine for overnight top-offs, not ideal as a primary charger for a daily long commute.
- Don’t shop for the TurboDX 2 yet. Its Wi-Fi, app, and hardwire features aren’t available for purchase as of this guide — check our best hardwired EV charger guide instead if a networked, hardwired charger is what you actually need right now.
- Confirm your outlet before buying either TurboDX. Both are 240V plug-in units — see our NEMA 14-50 outlet guide for what a compatible circuit looks like.
Verdict
The best Webasto EV charger for 2026 is the Webasto Go at roughly $549 — real 32A/7.7kW Level 2 speed with the flexibility of dual-voltage adapters, no permanent installation required. The TurboDX 32A matches its output for less once you have a dedicated 240V outlet, and the TurboDX 16A covers lower-capacity circuits or backup duty. What Webasto doesn’t offer yet, despite its own marketing, is a smart or hardwired charger you can actually buy — if that’s what you need, this site’s ChargePoint and hardwired EV charger roundups cover options that are shipping today, not announced for a future date.
