EMpProduct Description:
Emporia Pro EV Charger! Built on the foundation of our award-winning Level 2 EV Charger, the Pro features a sleek new design as well as PowerSmart load management capabilities, allowing you to charge your vehicle without overloading your electrical system. This new charger offers hardware improvements that make installation and use more accessible while replacing our PowerSmart + EV charger bundle, providing the same functionality with a sleek upgraded look.
Powerful EV Charging, No Panel Upgrade Needed: PowerSmart technology safely delivers maximum charging power without overloading your electrical system.
Fully Automated Charging: Schedule and automate charging times to avoid high utility prices.
Built on Award-Winning Emporia Level 2 Charger Technology: Rated Best Level 2 EV Charger by State of Charge.
Fact: ~50% of US homes require a full electrical panel upgrade to safely install a Level 2 EV Charger.
The Emporia Pro EV Charger makes powerful automated Level 2 charging possible for almost any home. Thanks to PowerSmart technology, you can charge your EV up to 9 times faster than a level 1 charger using your existing electrical panel and save thousands on electrical upgrades.
How PowerSmart Load Management WorksPowerSmart is a software upgrade that unlocks the full power of the Emporia Pro EV Charger when paired with the Vue Energy Monitor installed in your electrical panel.
Here's how it works: PowerSmart uses real-time energy from the Vue Energy Monitor device in your electrical panel and measures your energy use thousands of times per second. The Vue comes in the box with the Emporia Pro EV Charger, and can be installed by your electrician at the same time as your charger install.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Load Balancing: PowerSmart regulates power to your Emporia Pro EV Charger so it uses the maximum, safe power based on your home’s electrical usage during a charging session. It monitors your energy usage real-time (3k times per second) data and allocates only the available panel capacity to your EV charger to never exceed the maximum panel capacity.
- Economical: Instead of spending thousands on a major electrical panel upgrade, PowerSmart makes EV installation possible on your existing panel.
- Max Charge: Temporarily reallocates power from other appliances to your EV when not in use, maximizing charging efficiency.
- Safe Charging: Protects against overloading your electrical system, avoiding potential power outages and safety hazards.
- Easy Monitoring and Control: Monitor your home’s energy usage and manage your EV charging schedule with the intuitive Emporia app interface, accessible via smartphone or computer.

GFCI Protection
- The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires a GFCI breaker installed on any circuit using a 6-50 or 14-50 outlet. Since the Emporia EV Charger already has built-in GFCI protections, it can cause false/unwarranted tripping when installed on a line with GFCI protections also provided on the breaker.
- Your electrician will be able to provide the best information for your installation scenario. If GFCI breaker installation is a requirement for your installation, then we recommend using the hardwired installation method since that is not required to be GFCI protected in the same way the NEMA outlet is. Due to conflicting requirements between NEC (NFPA70) and UL certifications related to the behavior of GFCI operations on EV Charging equipment, we can't provide more specific installation recommendations since it will depend on your location and you should consult your professional installer for more details.
