The Emporia Pro is a 48A Level 2 EV charger that comes with an Emporia Vue energy monitor. Its PowerSmart feature watches your home’s total load and charges as fast as your panel allows, which can avoid a panel upgrade. It sells for about $550 to $650.
What you need before you buy
- A 240V circuit: a 50A circuit with a NEMA 14-50 outlet (40A charging) or a 60A hardwired circuit (48A).
- An electrician to fit the circuit and the Vue monitor in your panel.
- Wi-Fi at the charger for app features.
How fast it charges
At 48A it adds roughly 40 to 45 miles of range per hour for most EVs, enough to refill a typical daily commute in a couple of hours.
