IYILO Level 2 charger adds NACS connector option at $339, topping ChargerRater scale at 103 points
The IYILO Level 2 home charger, which scored 103 points on the ChargerRater scale compared to 89 for the Tesla Universal Wall Connector, is now available in two versions with NACS connectors priced at $339. The charger previously offered only an SAE J1772 connector, a limitation noted in the original review by EVChargingStations.com. The addition addresses a key gap for buyers seeking NACS compatibility in the residential charging market.
Why it matters
Procurement teams specifying home charging equipment for fleet or workplace programmes now have a top rated dual connector option at a competitive price point. The NACS availability aligns with the industry shift towards Tesla's charging standard, broadening compatibility for mixed EV fleets.
