Home Depot is where a lot of people buy the NEMA 14-50 outlet, the breaker and the wire for an EV charger, so it’s a natural place to look for the charger itself. The short version: you’ll find solid options there, but the shelf is built around a handful of brands, prices move more than you’d expect, and several of the chargers that come up most on this site didn’t show up there at all.
A note on method: homedepot.com blocks automated access, so the listings and prices below come from Internet Archive copies of Home Depot’s EV charger category pages (October 2025 to June 2026), checked against manufacturer pages, maker-store prices and the ENERGY STAR certified-charger database on November 5, 2026. We don’t test chargers ourselves; this is a research comparison. Prices on homedepot.com change often, so treat every Home Depot figure here as a dated data point.
Home Depot EV chargers by the numbers
- 71 listings appeared in Home Depot’s residential EV charger category on April 19, 2026 (Internet Archive copy). In the brand filter, Lectron had 17, DEWALT 12, SKYSHALO 10 and Leviton 9.
- 65 of those 71 listings were Level 2 and 56 were cord-connected (plug-in or portable), per the same page’s filters. Only 19 were hardwired.
- $119 is how far the ChargePoint Home Flex moved on homedepot.com in six months: $599 in October 2025, $658.17 in January 2026 and $539 in April 2026 for the NEMA 14-50 version (model CPH50-NEMA1450-L23-K).
- $599 held steady for the DEWALT DXPAEV048 from October 2025 through June 2026, with an average of 4.2 out of 5 stars from 126 Home Depot reviews in June 2026.
- 482 AC chargers were on the ENERGY STAR certified list on November 5, 2026. The DEWALT 40A and 48A wall units, Leviton EV480 and EV48W, ChargePoint Home Flex and Lectron’s 40A portable are on it; no VEVOR, SKYSHALO, ELEGRP or SVOPES model is.
- $1,700 is Qmerit’s 2026 average for a home Level 2 charger project, with most between $749 and $2,500, per Qmerit’s installation-cost FAQ. Its sample breakdown counts about $800 of that as charger hardware. DEWALT names Qmerit as its national installation partner.

| DEWALT DXPAEV016 (portable) | 16A / 3.8 kW | Plug-in, 120V or 240V | J1772 | $299 (Oct 2025 to Apr 2026) | Not found |
| ChargePoint Home Flex (CPH50-NEMA1450-L23-K) | 40A on a 14-50 plug (50A hardwired version) | NEMA 14-50 plug | J1772 | $599 / $658.17 / $539 (Oct 2025 / Jan 2026 / Apr 2026) | Yes |
| ChargePoint Home Flex hardwired (CPH50-HARDWIRE-L23-K) | Up to 50A / 12 kW | Hardwired | J1772 | $549 (Oct 2025) | Yes |
| Leviton EV480 | 48A / 11.6 kW | Hardwired, 18-ft cable, no Wi-Fi | J1772 | $549.64 (Jan 2026), $699 (Apr 2026) | Yes |

Sources: Internet Archive copies of homedepot.com EV charger category pages dated October 18, 2025, January 19, 2026, April 19, 2026 and June 10, 2026; DEWALT product page for the DXPAEV048; Leviton product pages; ENERGY STAR certified EVSE database (checked November 5, 2026). “Not found” means we couldn’t match that model number on the ENERGY STAR list, not that the charger failed a test.
Two patterns stand out. First, every major-brand wall unit in these snapshots used a J1772 plug. If you drive a Tesla or a newer car with a NACS port, plan on an adapter (Home Depot sells Lectron and DEWALT versions) or buy a NACS charger elsewhere. Second, the cheapest listings come from marketplace-style brands such as VEVOR, SKYSHALO and SVOPES, none of which had a model on the ENERGY STAR list we checked.
The chargers worth a look at Home Depot
DEWALT DXPAEV048: the house brand of the EV aisle
DEWALT DXPAEV048 Level 2 EV Charger
- DEWALT rates it at 48 amps and 11.5 kW, adjustable from 12A to 48A, with a 25-foot cable, an LCD screen and an IP66 enclosure for indoor or outdoor mounting.
- It needs a hardwired install on a 60A circuit. DEWALT says installation is available nationwide through its partner Qmerit.
- DEWALT is the brand, not the charger company: Pro Tool Reviews says licensee Paragon Group USA designed the line and runs its sales, and the ENERGY STAR listing names Ningbo EverFlourish Smart Technology as the certifying partner.
- J1772 only. A Tesla or other NACS-port car needs an adapter, which DEWALT sells separately.
Pro Tool Reviews listed the 48A and 40A models at $699 each in its review, so Home Depot’s $599 is already $100 below that. Its reviewer’s own installation, with the charger on the far side of the garage from a full panel that needed tandem breakers, cost about $1,600.
DEWALT’s charger is a reasonable buy if you want one brand name, a long cable and a 3-year warranty from a store you can walk into. On price per amp it’s not a bargain: the Lectron NEXUS 48A was $419.99 and the Grizzl-E Ultimate 48A $479.99 on their makers’ stores in early November 2026. See our 48-amp EV charger guide for the full ranking.
ChargePoint Home Flex: the big-name pick, if the price is right
ChargePoint Home Flex (NEMA 14-50 or hardwired)
- The Home Flex is the best-known charger in Home Depot's lineup, with a mature app and adjustable output from 16A to 50A.
- On a NEMA 14-50 plug it's limited to 40A (9.6 kW). You need the hardwired version to get the full 50A.
- Its Home Depot price swung from $658.17 to $539 between January and April 2026. If the listing is above about $550, compare it against ChargePoint's own store and other retailers first.
- Details and alternatives in our ChargePoint Home Flex review.
Leviton EV480 and EV48W: the electrician’s brand
Leviton EV480 / EV48W
- Both deliver 48A and 11.6 kW on a hardwired circuit, per Leviton's product pages. The EV48W adds Wi-Fi and the My Leviton app; the EV480 has no app.
- Home Depot's EV48W price of $749 was well below the $1,002.91 Leviton's own store listed on November 5, 2026.
- The 18-foot cable is shorter than DEWALT's 25 feet, and the 2-year warranty is a year shorter.
- More on the whole lineup in our Leviton EV charger guide.
Lectron Portable 40A: fine, but cheaper direct
Lectron Portable Level 2 J1772 40A (NEMA 14-50)
- A plug-in portable that runs at 40A from a NEMA 14-50 outlet, useful if you rent or want a charger that travels with the car.
- It's the clearest example of a Home Depot markup: its 2026 price was $30 more than Lectron's own store charged for the same model number in November 2026.
- For a permanent install, Lectron's NEXUS wall unit is the better buy. See our Lectron EV charger guide.
Home Depot price vs. buying direct
| Tier | At Home Depot (2026) | Direct from a maker (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 48A hardwired, J1772 | DEWALT DXPAEV048 $599; Leviton EV48W $749 | Lectron NEXUS 48A $419.99; Grizzl-E Ultimate 48A $479.99 |
| 48A hardwired, NACS | No NACS wall unit found in the snapshots | Lectron NEXUS NACS $419.99; Tesla Wall Connector $585 |
| 40A plug-in wall unit | ChargePoint Home Flex 14-50 $539 to $658.17 | Grizzl-E Classic $299.99; Emporia Classic $449 |
| 40A portable, NEMA 14-50 | Lectron $279.99 | Lectron $249.99 |
Maker-store prices were checked on November 4 and 5, 2026 on ev-lectron.com, grizzl-e.com and shop.emporiaenergy.com; the Tesla price is from Tesla North’s September 2026 report of Tesla’s US increase. Home Depot prices are the archived 2026 figures from the table above.
The gap isn’t huge on every product, but it runs one way: for the same power, the maker stores were cheaper in every row where both had a comparable charger. What Home Depot adds is convenience. You can pick up some models the same day, return them at a store, and buy the wire, breaker and outlet in the same trip. For a broader shortlist, our cheapest EV charger guide and best Level 2 EV charger roundup cover brands Home Depot doesn’t carry.
Does Home Depot install EV chargers?
Yes. Home Depot sells a service called Home EV Charger Installation. Its service page (Internet Archive copies from May and October 2025) describes the job as done by “a local certified installer” who is licensed, insured and background-checked. Here’s how it worked:
| Step or term | What Home Depot's page said (2025) |
|---|---|
| Who installs | A local certified installer, licensed, insured and background-checked. No partner named on the page. |
| How you book | Check availability by ZIP code, then an online home-charging assessment with photos, then an upfront estimate the installer confirms |
| Typical price | $899 to $1,999, depending mainly on wiring distance and hardwired vs. plug-in |
| Deposit | $149, fully refundable, to schedule; the quote itself is free |
| Included | Code-compliant wiring and conduit, permit and inspection, panel load calculation, new breaker, a check that the charger works, 1-year parts and labor warranty |
| Not included | Drywall, stucco or concrete repair, trenching to a detached garage; a panel upgrade is quoted separately |
| Who qualifies | Homeowners; renters need the owner's permission. Chargers you already own can be installed. |
Two caveats. First, we could only read archived 2025 copies of that page; the 2026 copies were blocked, so confirm the current price for your ZIP code. Second, Home Depot doesn’t name the installer network on the page, but the $149 refundable deposit and photo-based assessment mirror Qmerit’s process, and DEWALT’s own product copy says its installation service runs “in partnership with Qmerit.” Qmerit puts the 2026 average for a home Level 2 project at $1,700 including the charger, with installs starting at $749. A Home Depot EcoActions post from September 2024 said installation was offered in more than 1,200 stores.
Is the bundled install a good deal? Home Depot’s $899 to $1,999 range sits close to what Toyota’s install partner Treehouse quotes ($1,100 to $2,350 excluding the charger) and to typical independent electrician prices. The convenience is real: one quote, one deposit, permit included. But a fixed-price quote from a local licensed electrician can beat it, especially if you already have a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a short run from the panel. Our Qmerit installation guide and permit cost guide explain what to compare.
Returns, stock and other things to know before you buy
- Returns: 90 days for most buyers. Home Depot’s return policy (Internet Archive copy, May 13, 2026) gives most merchandise 90 days with proof of purchase, and none of its 30-day, 7-day or 48-hour exception lists mention EV chargers. The DEWALT and ChargePoint product pages showed “Returnable: 90-Day.” Buy with a Home Depot consumer credit card, Pro Xtra credit card or commercial account and you get 365 days.
- Installation labor can’t be returned, and special orders may carry a 15% restocking fee, per the same policy. Don’t book the electrician until you’re sure the charger fits your car and your circuit.
- Most EV chargers ship from online stock. In the October 2025 snapshot, only 20 of 191 listings in the full EV charger category showed “Pick Up Today” for the store the page defaulted to. The ChargePoint, Leviton EV480/EV48W and VEVOR listings were flagged online-only, while DEWALT and Lectron items were flagged as sold online and in stores.
- The full category is broader than the residential view. In June 2026 its brand filter counted 87 Ahfiwaso listings, 28 Leviton, 24 Lectron and 22 DEWALT, but only 1 ChargePoint, and no Tesla, Grizzl-E, Emporia, Wallbox, Siemens or Eaton products.
- Marketplace-style brands need extra checking. VEVOR, SKYSHALO, ELEGRP and SVOPES had no models on the ENERGY STAR list, which can rule them out of utility rebates. See our EV charger recall tracker before buying an unfamiliar brand.
How to buy an EV charger at Home Depot without overpaying
- Decide the circuit first. A 48A charger needs a hardwired 60A circuit; a NEMA 14-50 outlet caps you at 40A. Our amperage calculator shows what your car can actually use.
- Check the plug. The big-brand wall units Home Depot listed were J1772. A NACS-port car needs an adapter or a NACS charger bought elsewhere. Our NACS vs. J1772 guide explains the difference.
- Look the model number up on the ENERGY STAR list before you buy if you’re counting on a utility rebate. Start with our EV charger rebate guide.
- Compare against the maker’s own store. In our checks, the same charger or the same power tier was usually $30 to $180 cheaper direct.
- Get an installation quote separately from a licensed electrician or Qmerit, and compare it with any bundled Home Depot quote. Our installation cost guide breaks down what a fair price looks like.
Bottom line
Home Depot is a convenient place to buy an EV charger, not usually the cheapest one. The DEWALT DXPAEV048 at $599 and the Leviton EV48W at $749 are solid, ENERGY STAR certified 48A units, and the ChargePoint Home Flex is a good buy when its price drops to around $540. If you don’t need same-day pickup, check the maker stores first: the Lectron NEXUS 48A at $419.99 and the Grizzl-E Classic at $299.99 cover the same ground for less.
