Unsightly Chargers?

[WAlston21]

Is it just me that thinks many of the EV Chargers on the market today look unsightly? There’s always going be an argument about Tethered/Untethered cables but at least some manufacturers do a better job of hiding them. Sadly, perhaps obviously, the nicer looking solutions seem to be more expensive. I’m thinking Andersen and Simpson & Partners.

A few poor examples I’ve seen online. The Zappi looks like a Toilet Seat with a Garden hose wrapped round it!

I always coveted the Andersen EV chargers, but they're pricey and seemingly EU-only. Style is usually not a big deal if the charger is inside a garage, where I think the utilitarian Grizzl-E look works well (which I have). At least it's not plastic like so many chargers.

Agreed. If it’s hidden inside a garage, or maybe even a car port then looks aren’t an issue. Seeing unsightly installs on the front of a house may be asking for unwanted attention.

Yea, but they make me look great standing next to them. <GRINS>

I cannot imagine caring about this. It's a charger, not a decor item.

So you don’t much care what the outside of your home looks like?

My charger is in my carport, where no one sees it who doesn't live here.
