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

I’ve been running the Emporia Level 2 (NEMA 14-50 / J1772) as my daily home EVSE and it’s been excellent—both in performance and in the “set it and forget it” reliability you actually want from charging equipment. Performance is the headline. On a standard 240V NEMA 14-50 circuit, you should be configuring it to the correct continuous load for your breaker (for most 14-50 installs that’s 40A continuous on a 50A breaker, which is ~9.6 kW). At that setting, it delivers consistent, stable charging without random dropouts or thermal weirdness. If you have a setup that supports it, the platform is capable of higher output (up to 48A / ~11.5 kW when properly supported), which puts it in “fast home charging” territory. Compatibility is perfect across brands. My Chevy charges natively via J1772 with zero fuss. My Tesla Model X Plaid charges reliably using a J1772-to-Tesla adapter—handshake is clean, charging is stable, and it behaves like it should every time. The smart features are actually useful (not gimmicky). The app gives you real visibility into charging: Live power draw (kW), session energy (kWh), and history Scheduling for off-peak / time-of-use rates Adjustable amperage so you can match your circuit safely and avoid nuisance issues Build quality feels like it was designed for daily use: a sturdy plug, a thick cable that doesn’t feel cheap, and a solid connector that clicks in confidently. Bottom line: it’s a high-output, technically sound EVSE that’s dependable enough to trust with expensive vehicles—without paying “luxury brand” pricing.

The Emporia Level 2 charger works great and charges our EV much faster than expected. The app is easy to use and makes scheduling simple. We ended up hardwiring it instead of using the plug, which made a big difference in performance and reliability. Installation was smooth, and the charger feels well built with a sturdy cable. Overall, a great value compared to other brands and highly recommended.

Perfect in every way! I am not sure how this model could be improved upon. The installation is simple, the WiFi connects easily and reliably, the app is well-designed and very useful. Fantastic!

It can be hard wired but it was not designed for this. As another reviewer stated it has to be wired with a flexible conduit as the screws to attach the front cover insert from the rear. Very difficult to get at. Also there is very little room to work with stiff #6 AWG wire to get it into the terminals. I had to get a Baomain crimper and connectors as I was unable to get the bare wires into the clamps. Hardwiring does allow you to go to 48 amps on a 60 amp breaker but the increase from 40 amps using the plug is probably not worth the effort. If you're a DIYer who has done any wiring you can do this alone. Hard wired I do get the full 11.5 KW so charging is quick. The first time I used it, it worked fine. The second time it stopped charging after an hour. I unplugged it then reconnected it and it finished the charge. The third time it wouldn't charge at all. I called their tech support and the tech connected to it over the internet. His first effort was to upgrade the firmware, which took less than a minute. It's worked perfectly since. The app works great. Easy to set up and configure. Very versatile as to monitoring charging. You can enter your rate per kWh and it will tell you the cost for all your electricity used. I live in an area with a very low off peak rate (5.15¢/ kWh) so it costs me 1.5¢/mile to operate my Ioniq 6. Very happy with this unit and really appreciate the lower price compared to other brands.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Worked Perfectly, installed by certified electrician. After installation Need to go to Emporio Website on the internet and REGISTER your Emporio charger Then Log into YOUR Emporio charger at home using WFi and select your Circuit Breaker value ( 50 amps for me) at home as electrician installed. Then you will get the higher charging amount ( 9kw for me) instead of the default value ( which was 7kw).

Powerful and useful.
