Default Best HOME EV charger?

Hi Everyone, I am a new owner of the XC40 Pure Recharge. I am looking for recommendations on a good homebased charger.
Is Charge Point the best game in town? I am not looking for the most expensive or fastest home charger, just something at a decent speed that we can put into our beach house because the area has little to no infrastructure to support EVs at this time. Thanks in advance.

I have "AR" aeroenviornment. I ordered it from Home Depot and had my electrician install a 240v switch in my panel which is in the garage right in front of the car. Lucky right ??? Minor charge for labor and he filed the permit with the city for me.
Your charger is actually in the car and the device is actually a power source but.... They're usually called 'chargers'. I've had no problems and it is at the top of the list in Consumer Reports. Charge Point is also a good name I think but I subscribe to CR and have never had a problem with anything I purchased after reading a good review from them on it. Now I'm knocking on wood because Volvo isn't their favorite but I like the car so ....
Good luck with your car and choice of 'charging devices'. See photo below of mine. Check with your city or county, pretty sure you'll need a permit and it's always best in that situation to use an electrician. This spring I'll probably sell my house and it's the only one in the neighborhood with a level II charger. Should help the sale more than I'll ask for it. I'll just install a new one where I move to.
