EMPORIA Level 2 EV Charger w/ J1772 Connector — 48 Amp, 240V WiFi Enabled Electric Vehicle Charging Station, 25ft Cable, NEMA 14-50, White

Excellent experience. Deliver next day. Installed 75 minutes and was charging. I did have a "dryer" plug pre-installed. The app was easy and perfect to help me get everything running smoothly and dialed in. I had a question about the load on my circuit and the AI response was immediate and accurate. Note: the charger to power plug cord is thick and not too flexible...I don't think you could even do a 180 with the cord, so check out the plug before you install. My only issue is the hangar for cord and car plug results in the stored plug sticking out from wall over 12 inches.

I had to purchase EVSE after receiving recall from auto manufacturer. After hours of YouTube video, I decided on the Emporia EVSE. This smart level 2 charger offer fine adjustment to meet your electricial circuit need. I have a 40 amp breaker and it allow me to set the charger to supply 32A. This means that the car will be charge at around 7 kWh. You can dynamically change your breaker's Amperage rating to get more electricity. I have found you can safely adjust from 32A to 36A to give you more electricity. The unit is wifi/Bluetooth capable. It also allows you to sync with your local electric company on what kind of plan you are on and automatically set the optimal charging time. I have SCE TOU Prime so it set up the charger not to turn on between 4 pm and 9 pm to avoid paying the highest rate during the day. The charging handle is made from aluminum with a durable powder coating. The cable is long enough for a vehicle that is parked inside the garage. The charging cable is about 21mm thick and it is much thicker than the other commercial charger at about 17mm. This charger comes with thermal detection so in the event of overheating, it will shut down automatically. So far I've been very happy with the performance and the safety features on this unit. The Emporia was thoroughly reviewed on "state of charge" You can find the review video on YouTube and make your own decision.

After a lot of research on YouTube I went ahead and got this one. I use it to charge my Audi e-tron for about 2 months now WITHOUT a single issue. Mine is installed inside my garage but it is rated to sit outside in all weathers. The WIFI capability is also really handy and you can see at a glance how much you have spent just charging your car. (Not that this is anything to do with any charger but approximately 2000 miles cost just less than $100) so its for me anyway, fun to see how much gas I'm not buying and polluting with! Because my unit is plugged in to a suitable wall socket, as opposed to having it hardwired directly into the breaker panel, I'm getting 9.6KW pretty much at all times according to the display in the car. Hardwired, it will go to 11KW but to be honest I don't need anything n greater than what I'm getting now. I was using the Audi supplied charger but it was downrated to charge at 50% of its capacity so having a dedicated Level 2 charger at home just made perfect sense. Plus the cable is 24ft long which means I can charge a vehicle on the driveway from the back wall of the garage, really useful! For the price, and having used it plenty in the last couple of months I can fully recommend it and wonder why you would want or need to spend double the money for the same performance. Check out the review videos online as this Emporia comes out very well. If you have the NEMA 14-50 fitted on your wall already, this unit will plug straight in out of the box and have you charging immediately. The installation of the unit to the wall was straight forward and the instructions where really easy to follow, just be mindful of where you position the unit in relation to the NEMA socket as this cable is a bit shorter than expected. See my attached photo... Overall I think this is a fantastic value from a product with a great reputation...

I researched many different types of Level 2 chargers and decided that this was the best bang for your buck. I was 100% right. I opted for the Nema 15-40 charger for it's flexibility. 40amps is plenty fast enough for my family and probably for most people, but if youre constantly on the go then maybe hardwiring is better to get closer to 48. We installed it on a 50A outlet as recommended by manufacturer. According to the app I'm actually getting between 38 and 39 amps (9.2kWh) which brought me from 50-80% in about 2 hours. For comparison with my Level 1, that I was using for a couple weeks prior, I was getting 1kWh on the 12A setting (120v). Very slow. 4-5 milers per hour. This is a welcome change. The app is extremely useful. Paired with the Hyundai Bluelink app, i can control and view everything about my charging experience (timelines, rates, cost etc). I particularly liked that it gives you your cost per kWh based on your location. My actual cost is 11 cents per kWh for off peak and 14 cents during peak. The app rated me at 13.5 cents which will give me a very accurate estimate of what to expect (probably a little high, which i actually prefer). The graphs are very cool to view (nerd) and seeing the consistency in charge delivery gives peace of mind. The charging cord is plenty long enough- if i wanted to pull it out of the garage and charge in my driveway I could. I ended up not installing the hangar for the charger because it sticks out so far into the garage but for those with larger garages or just 1 car it's a very useful addition. The EVSE itself is high quality and very durable. Installation was straightforward and it was paired with the app in 30 seconds (wifi required). Overall, it was the best value charger out there with fast homr delivery and a high charging rate. Some chargers that do the same as this one (or less) cost $100+ more and for what? Just happy to throw the Level 1 in the trunk and forget about it. Edit (a few weeks after purchase)** I forgot my car settings are set to only accept 90% of the AC current so it could actually charge a bit faster. I have no real reason to set it to 90% but I'm new to EVs and want my car/charger to last as long as possible. I've charged it from 30% to 100% and the charger/cable isn't even warm. Incredible product- even better than when I wrote the original review.

Emporia is a company that stands behind their products. This is rare nowadays, and I believe you can buy an EVSE from this company and count on excellent and communicative customer service and support after purchase. The unit I purchased did have an issue, and Emporia was excellent to work with when I contacted them seeking support. Everything was completely resolved to my satisfaction and I came away from the whole interaction highly impressed with the company. I would definitely do business with them again! Of course, the unit will charge your car. It is simple and easy to work with. I love the straightforward design and basic functions on the EVSE - no nonsense, no silly additional features that seem interesting at first and then you never use again, no extra bits to malfunction. Just plug and chug - I got an electric car to save money and simplify my life, and this EVSE helps me with that goal. I would absolutely recommend the purchase to anyone with an electric vehicle.

Back in 2016, I got a Tesla Model S P90DL. Unfortunately, the location of my garage, relative to my electrical panel, made installing a charger impractical. Instead, I put a NEMA 14-50 outside, and ran a 50' RV power extension cord to my porte-cocher. Oh, and I've been using my mobile charger as my only charger since day 1. When I moved to a new house, I put a NEMA 14-50 in the garage, and kept the same basic arrangement. About the time a Model Y was added to the household, it seemed like a good idea to go for a more permanent solution. With a Rivian on order, I definitely didn't want a Tesla-specific charger. Really, just about all of the chargers are SAE J1772 anyway, so I did some research on the one that would be best for me. There appear to be two tiers of chargers, where the first is relatively "dumb", and the other is "smart"er. Dumb chargers, in this context, set the charging current limit to the car, and negotiate the closing of contactors within the charger. These will work fine with any EV. Smarter chargers generally communicate via wifi, measure energy that's passed through the charger, and usually have some ability to set schedules or rules for charging. I settled on the Emporia Energy Smart Level 2 EV Charger. My list of requirements was pretty short. First, the charger needed to be outdoor-capable. Second, I wanted the charger to be hardwired. Third, I wanted app monitoring/control, since I'd be using one charger for 2 or 3 vehicles. Fourth, I wanted some scheduling features - I'm not going to use them now, but definitely will once I have my solar/battery setup. OUTDOOR INSTALLATION The Emporia fulfills my requirements. It's listed as outdoor-capable, but the capability is as a result of a gasket that separates the case shell from the lid, and weather-proof caps on the cables that exit the case shell. More on that in a minute. If you don't put a hole in the housing, the case will remain sealed, as the unit mounts to the wall with a bracket that the case mounts to. HARDWIRING The unit does allow hardwiring. Once you're in the shell, you can remove the AC supply cable. Interestingly, you just unhook 3 wires - this is interesting because a 14-50 is typically a 4-conductor hookup. If you know this going in, you can save some money buying 3-conductor 6ga wire, which is significantly cheaper than 4-conductor 6ga. While you don't ABSOLUTELY NEED to do this, it's a good idea to use ferrules and a ferrule crimper to prep your terminal block connections. I drilled through the back of the housing to pull the 6ga. From a weatherproofing perspective, you need to take care of the hole in the back and seal the left-side cap. SMART FEATURES So, my guess is that most of you have some wifi coverage wherever it is that you park your car. I mean, you get your car's OTA updates, right? Well, if you DON'T have wifi coverage, the Emporia will act as a regular EV charger. If you do, you will perform some soft setup, consisting of getting the Android or iOS Emporia app. Your device will find the charger's bluetooth radio. It'll ask you to verify that the pairing code has a fragment of the charger's MAC address. You'll have to create an Emporia account to access the charger via the app, which shows you the current status and the historical charging information. The app also lets you link your EVs. I forget what 3rd-party IaaS it uses, but I was able to link my Teslas to my Emporia account (it just required OAuth during the setup). I was able to set the charge limit to 48A, which the Model Y can use. My Model S has no problem negotiating a 40A limit. One thing that I thought was interesting was that the Model Y tapers the current as you approach the charge limit - I've not seen my Model S ever do that, but I guess it's better for the battery. At $450, my Emporia charger was certainly way less expensive than some of the other models I was considering. Considering how basic these devices are from a BOM and design standpoint, $450 feels like a lot, but the price is the price. Compared to the other "smart" chargers, I do feel like the Emporia is a relative bargain. If you're charging Teslas, you'll need a SAE J1772 adapter (but you probably got one with your mobile charger). With the adapter, you'll probably want to get a weatherproofing option of some sort. I adapted a silicone cap for the task, and it works great. Recommended

Charges at the full 40 amps with a 50 amp plug. (20% headroom for safety). Cord is very long and is able to reach even in you don't park very close. The app is very easy to use and convenient, it even has a breakdown of how much I spend each day on electric. Definitely one of the best chargers out there. The only thing I would change is that I wish the charger had a place to set the plug to protect it from rain and snow without having to put the cover on every time.

I have a 2019 Nissan Leaf, and anyone who has one of those knows that there is a tiny little flaw with the fast-charger that cars go BOOM, so we are no longer allowed to fast-charge; however, we also have the J1772 port, so we use that overnight. The original Nissan one quit working a few weeks ago [which is actually not too bad coming in at over six years]. This replacement came quickly and was easy to set up. It can be used without the app and WiFi, but those add the ability to set the timer, get reports, etc. I like the ones that tell me how much electricity I used and the approximate cost, based on the times I charge and local rates. It comes with a wall mount holder for the charging "wand" itself, similar to how the wands are docked on the chargers around town. My darling spouse has not quite yet followed through on putting this on the wall, but I'm sure he will soon. [Spoiler alert: He will not.] In the meantime, I am using the rubber cap from my Nissan unit, which I just cut off with scissors, to reduce dust and dog hair from getting into the wand.

After reading and watching multiple reviews online I decided to buy the Emporia. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now and it works fine no issues at all. First I like the look of it but most importantly it’s well built, good quality, installation options (NEMA14-50 or Hardwired), easy to install, up to 48A, good price and the app is super easy to use. I had it installed hardwired by my electrician to get the maximum amperage from my charger. The amperage can easily be adjusted using the app from 12A to 48A by 4A increments depending on your circuit breaker. Connecting my Charger to my wifi literally took seconds. Compared to other chargers this charger gives you more charging amps at an excellent price. Also, if you loose power during the night and power comes back this Emporia will restart automatically charging your car which is not the case with some other brands that need to be reprogrammed and restarted. So no surprise in the morning when you’re ready to go to work. I’m so happy with my purchase, delivery was fast. I highly recommend the EV Charger!!

La caja recibe corriente eléctrica, pero no saca la corriente eléctrica, los arquitectos de la obra en donde lo pusimos no lo abrieron inmediatamente, sino cuando terminaron la obra (después de 45 días) y ya no hay opción de devolución, está pésimo ya que es un artículo muy costoso y ya lo revisaron eléctricos y es una falla de fábrica.

When purchasing our EV we did fairly extensive reviewing of home level 2 chargers. The Emporia fit the bill for us given the options of connections and installation for either 40 or 48 amp and provides charging speed of 9-9.5 kwh so takes 4-5 hrs to charge approx for us to 80%, the reviews at the time, and reasonably priced for what you get. It has not disappointed and worked well from the first charge and still going strong reliably. The App is not fancy but adequate and gives the settings options that are needed and provides data and info that is practical No regrets with our purchase and would recommend to others.

On l'adore fonctionne parfaitement charge à près de 10kw/h ce qui est excellent elle est placer à l'extérieur et n'avons eu aucun problème du au froid pluie ..pluie verglacante..neige l'application fonctionne très bien

What I dislike are the 8 screws that are installed on the back side over the face plate. At a $105 an hour the electrician took 15 minutes to install all 8 screws... I personally think this is a design flaw. It should have been two top clips and one or two screws at the bottom of the front panel. Simple and easy to install! The installation went well... The overall price and quality are a good valve . Only time will tell if it was a good buy .IF it breaks I have to ,take it apart and send it to the company, and wait for them to repair ev charger.
