SAE J1772 on a 24- or 25-ft cable (see Cable), for CCS1/J1772 cars; NACS cars need an adapter
Charging power
11.5kW (240V/48A) or 9.6kW (240V/40A); 10kW (208V/48A) or 8.3kW (208V/40A)

Breaker Emporia specifies
Dedicated 50A+ double-pole breaker for 40A; dedicated 60A+ double-pole breaker for 48A
GFCI
Built-in GFCI protection; Emporia warns a GFCI breaker on the circuit can cause nuisance tripping and recommends the hardwired version where code requires a GFCI breaker
Load management
PowerSmart: with the included Vue 3 energy monitor (two 200A CTs in the panel) it limits charging to the panel's spare capacity

Why people pick it

  • Up to 48A (11.5kW) hardwired, or 40A on a NEMA 14-50 plug
  • Includes the Vue 3 panel monitor for PowerSmart load balancing, which Emporia says can avoid a panel upgrade
  • Schedules charging around utility rates in the Emporia app
  • NEMA Type 4 enclosure rated -22°F to 122°F
  • 3-year warranty

Know before you buy

  • PowerSmart needs the Vue 3 monitor installed inside the electrical panel: a job for a licensed electrician
  • The plug-in version is limited to 40A; 48A needs hardwiring
  • A GFCI breaker on the circuit can cause nuisance trips (Emporia's own warning)
  • Smart features need Wi-Fi at the charger
