Which Charger?

I am going to purchase a Level II charger? ChargePoint was recommended. Does anyone have other recommendations for our i8’s?

As I understand it chargers are not much more that switches. They are not much more than big relays with a small circuit board to inform the car what capacity they are sized for. The clever stuff happens in the car.

I.e you can swap your bedroom light switch but the bulb illumination always stays the same.
