Hey Layton friend! So, you’re ready to ditch the gas station lines at Smith’s on Antelope Drive and plug in at home—smart move. But with a zillion chargers online, which one’s worth your hard-earned cash? Let’s cut through the noise. I’ve tested a bunch, and here are my top picks for Layton homes (spoiler: they’re all under $600 and Utah-winter approved).
1. EVIQO Level 2 EV Charger (Plug-in)
Perfect for: Folks in newer neighborhoods like East Layton or Ellison Park who want a no-fuss setup.
This bad boy’s like the Swig of chargers—simple, reliable, and gets the job done. It plugs into a 240V outlet (the same kind your dryer uses) and delivers 32 amps, meaning you’ll get ~25 miles of range per hour. For a Ford F-150 Lightning, that’s a full charge overnight.
Why Layton loves it: It’s weatherproof (-22°F to 122°F), so Farmington Canyon winters won’t faze it. Plus, local electricians like Wasatch Electric can install it in a few hours. At $359, it’s a steal if you just need basics.
2. EVIQO WiFi-Enabled Smart Charger
Perfect for: Techy commuters driving to Hill AFB or Salt Lake City.
This one’s for the data nerds (guilty!). The app lets you schedule charging during Rocky Mountain Power’s off-peak hours (9¢/kWh after 10 PM), track energy use, and even get firmware updates. At 40 amps, it’s slightly faster than the plug-in model, and the 24-foot cable reaches even the most awkward garage setups (looking at you, Eagle Ridge folks with giant trucks).
Local perk: Sync it with Layton’s solar panels (popular in Kays Creek) to maximize savings.
3. EVIQO Hardwired Level 2 Charger
Perfect for: Older homes near Downtown Layton or Central Layton needing a permanent fix.
If your garage’s electrical panel can handle it, hardwiring skips the outlet and connects directly. This means 48 amps of power—aka Lagoon rollercoaster-fast charging. It’s ideal if you’re driving a Tesla Model Y or Rivian daily to Syracuse or Ogden.
Why Davis County digs it: No plugs = fewer points of failure in Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles. Pair it with a NEMA 4X-rated enclosure (sold separately) for extra winterproofing.
But Wait—Which One’s Actually Best for You?
- Renting near Layton Commons Park? Go with the plug-in—it’s portable and landlord-friendly.
- Tech-savvy saver? The WiFi model pays for itself with Rocky Mountain Power’s off-peak rates.
- Long-term homeowner? Hardwired is the Black Bear Diner pancake stack of chargers—built to last.
Pro Tip: Davis County electricians like Precision Electric often bundle charger installs with panel upgrades. Ask about Rocky Mountain Power’s $500 rebate to slash costs!
