MSI Eco Series EV charger review: A smart home charger with some properly useful hardware

MSI has expanded its hardware portfolio into the electric vehicle market with the launch of its Eco Series home chargers. The units offer flexible installation options, smart connectivity, and varying power outputs to suit different household needs.
Why it matters
As EV adoption grows, the market for reliable, smart home charging infrastructure is becoming a critical component of the consumer technology ecosystem.
For most EV owners, home charging should quickly become one of those things you stop thinking about. You arrive home, plug the car in, and expect it to be ready again in a few hours or the next morning.
That means a good home charger arguably needs to do two things: offer enough intelligence to work with solar, charging schedules and changing electricity tariffs, while remaining simple enough that none of those features get in the way of simply plugging the car in.
MSI is better known for its computer hardware, but its Eco Series EV chargers bring the company’s electronics background into a rather different part of the home.
