24 days of our favorite hardware, gadgets, and tech
Sometimes, the most thoughtful holiday gift is the practical one. Electric car drivers will tell you that a reliable charging solution for their vehicle is priceless. Though electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common in the U.S., the charging infrastructure still hasn’t fully caught up. The at-home electric-vehicle charging market, in particular, has been stuck in a frustrating place, with consumers being forced to choose between durability, compatibility, performance, installation, and price.
The MSI EV Life charger has broken into the U.S. market with a consumer-friendly, future-proof model that is easier to operate and more affordable than its competitors. MSI has a longstanding reputation for producing high-performance computing hardware and has translated its expertise to solve the most pressing problems in the at-home EV charging market.
The EV Life series offers durability, compatibility, and affordability in a package that feels equally at home in your private garage, a shared parking area, or a small commercial setting. You can enjoy faster, smarter EV charging (up to 14 kW at 60 amps), delivering as much as 50 miles of range per hour, without the high-end premium or the usual list of trade-offs.
The EV Life charger bridges the gap between at-home and commercial charging with universal compatibility that supports every major EV in North America, rugged all-weather construction, and smart management features at a consumer-friendly price. Whether you’re braving the cold winters in North Dakota or trying to stay cool in Louisiana summers, the EV Life comes standard with IP55/IP67 dust and water resistance and an operating range of –40°F to 131°F for reliable high performance in any climate. The flexible installation options (hardwired or NEMA 14-50 plug-in configurations) make it especially easy for homeowners and renters.
Once installed, you can manage your charging through the MSI aConnect app, which features your charging history and offers full control over scheduling your charges around peak hours, current control to adjust your charging speed, and remote updates. Plus, when you’re on the go, you can view a map of the closest available charging stations.
The EV Life charger has a five-year warranty, longer than what most competing chargers offer, underscoring MSI’s confidence in its engineering. With the EV Life series, MSI delivers commercial-level intelligence and durability in a universally compatible charger built for everyday users. Overall, the MSI EV Life charger makes at-home EV charging simpler, faster, and more reliable, so you don’t have to compromise to get a future-ready solution that fits your lifestyle and budget.
