399.97 in store at my warehouse (Carlsbad CA)
I picked one up. It's awesome, app let's me delay charging, tells me how many kwh it used, and pings me when it's done.
Why would you pay that much for simple box that barely does anythying?
This is not a charger - the charger is inside your car. it's really a connector, but people are dumb and accept that they are calling these things chargers, to the pleasure of these manufactures. It definitely sounds better when you call it a "charger"
Most electric cars, including my car (ID.4) already comes with an app that tells me the state of charge and I can stop or start the charging using it. I can also set how much % I want to charge the car to.
I paid about $150 for my 40amp connector, but that was 3 years ago.
I get a little less than 10kWh using it. Electricity is cheap with my Municipal provider - it cost me less than $12 to full charge it and get about 200 miles. Definitely beats gasoline!
This is a rip off for $450! These should be less than $50 these days and the most expensive part is the cable. The longer the cable the costier it would be.
Don't get ripped off!

I'm intrigued. What can I do instead? I'm new to the whole EV world and need something nema 14-50 to plug in my vehicle. Please let me know. Thanks!

Simply find one that meets your needs. There is nothing in them that would warrant their exuberant price.
Search for one on Amazon and you should be able to find one in a $100-$150 price range and you'll be happy with it. These are simple devices. They are not chargers!

I've really been looking, but I only see things that are either 16 A or 32 A. Do you have an example that you can share?

your down voters don't understand how EV charging works. you're right.
the technical term is EVSE, electric vehicle supply equipment, all they do is route the electricity to the charger in your car.

NOT CHARGERS.
agree, these boxes shouldn't be higher than $150. with more competition, they will be.
also, i don't see the point of redundant features like, "delay charging, tells me how many kwh it used, and pings me when it's done."
your car's charging app should already do all that.
in reality, you'll schedule charging with your car anyway. why would you want to set charging schedules on your car and your EVSE?
it's like doubling the amount of tasks you have to do to charge.
I understand these are too expensive for what it actually do. But the main point is many states (as well as federal) have incentives for installing one of these wifi capable chargers, cutting its price effectively. For my utility company (BGE) this is one of the chargers that qualifies for their TOU program, which provides additional discount when doing EV charging via these chargers.

I've been trying to figure out a way to get the discount on the actual unit. It seems like it's only on the install price by a licensed electrician. I don't know how much that would run, especially if I'm digging the trench to the location and running the conduit. The only thing I'm going to have the electrician do is make the final connection.

BGE here as well. Only the Chargepoint and Wallbox units participate in the TOU program. I had chargepoint (model before the flex) and replaced it with a wallbox a couple weeks ago.
My Chargepoint unit was dying a slow death and after replacing the cable about a year ago (and other issues that have been creeping up)... I decided to go with Wallbox. It's a great little unit so far. the app is pretty straightforward but I still keep my chargepoint app since it can be used to pay for charging at 3rd party stations.

Wallbox is consistently rated a Top 10 (or even Top 5) EV charger.
Tom at State of Charge is a pretty good authority on EV chargers.

They now also have NACS connector.
