Who Runs This Site
ChargeCompared is run by Jacob Musselman, who got tired of every "best home EV charger" article either parroting manufacturer press releases or sitting unmaintained for two years with dead product links and stale prices. The site started as a personal spreadsheet and grew into something public when it became clear the comparisons were more useful than what was showing up in search results.
It is a one-person operation. No outsourced writers, no ghostwritten sponsored posts, no "editorial team" that does not exist. Just one person reading spec sheets and certification records, cross-checking verified-buyer reviews, and keeping the comparison tables current. ChargeCompared is a research and aggregation site: nothing here is based on owning an EV or installing chargers; every claim traces to a manufacturer document, a certification database, or the owner record.
Our Mission
The EV charger market is growing fast, and choosing the right home charger should not require an engineering degree. ChargeCompared organizes the data that matters (amperage, charging speed, smart features, compatibility, price) into clear side-by-side comparisons that help you make a confident decision in under ten minutes.
How We Research
Every comparison on this site is built from publicly available information. Specs come directly from manufacturer product pages. Prices and stock status come from Amazon, re-checked against the current listings on a regular weekly schedule. Owner feedback is pulled from verified-purchase Amazon reviews and /r/evcharging threads. If owner consensus disagrees with the manufacturer's claims, the article flags it.
When a product goes out of stock, it is removed from the comparison entirely and a replacement is sourced from the same price and feature band. When a price changes, every article that references the product is updated in the same pass.
What We Don't Do
We do not accept payment from any manufacturer to influence rankings or recommendations. We do not publish sponsored content disguised as comparisons. When a product leads a category in our tables, its specs and owner feedback earned that position before any affiliate link was added to the page.
Affiliate links help fund the site but never change how products are ranked or presented. The commission is the same regardless of which charger you buy.
Corrections
Product specs change, prices fluctuate, and listings go dead. If you spot an error, an outdated spec, a wrong price tier, or a link that no longer goes to the product named, email support@chargecompared.com or use the contact form with the page URL and what is wrong. Reports are checked against the manufacturer spec sheet and the live listing, the page is corrected in the next pass (usually within 48 hours), and the fix is recorded with its date in the site maintenance log; the corrected article's "Updated" byline and fact-checked badge move to the date of the fix so the change is visible on the page itself. Every article also carries a "Report an error" link in its disclosure box that lands here.
