The EMPORIA Level 2 EV Charger delivers 48 amps of 240V charging with a 24ft cable and NEMA 14-50 plug. WiFi-enabled for smart features and remote monitoring, this J1772-compatible EVSE offers fast, reliable charging for electric vehicles. Ideal for home installations, it ensures efficient and convenient EV charging.

The Emporia EV Charger offers reliable Level 2 charging with flexible installation and smart features. It supports charging speeds of up to 48 amps (hardwired) or 40 amps (NEMA 14-50 plug). This translates to charging rates of 38–46 miles per hour, making it an excellent upgrade from the standard Level 1 charger.

Installation is straightforward, with options for plug-in or hardwired setups. The charger is UL-listed and ENERGY STAR-certified, ensuring safety and efficiency. However, users have noted that hardwiring can be challenging due to limited space for thicker wires, such as #6 AWG. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance.

The Emporia charger connects to Wi-Fi for smart charging capabilities. The app provides real-time energy tracking, scheduling options, and cost estimations based on local utility rates. Users report that the app is intuitive, though its navigation could improve. The ability to adjust amperage in 4-amp increments adds flexibility for different circuit setups.

The charger is universally compatible, featuring an SAE J1772 connector that works with most EVs, including Tesla (adapter required). It automatically resumes charging after a power outage, a convenient feature not offered by all competitors.

Build quality is robust, with a durable housing and long charging cable. The cord, while slightly thicker than others, reaches easily from the garage to a driveway. Users appreciate the device’s reliability and consistency, with most reporting stable charging rates.

Priced competitively, the Emporia EV Charger delivers exceptional value. It combines high charging performance, advanced features, and a user-friendly experience at a lower cost compared to similar models. Minor app and installation drawbacks are outweighed by its overall quality and affordability, making it a solid choice for EV owners.
