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 purchased this to charge my new-to-me Chevy Bolt. I already have the Emporia Vue energy monitoring system in my panel, so when I found out that this was one of the 2 or 3 EVSE brands that my local utility supports for its off-peak managed charging rebate scheme (through the ev.energy app), it was a no-brainer for me to choose the Emporia unit.Though I purchased the NEMA 14-50 version, I opted to hardwire it so that I didn't have the added expense of a GFCI breaker and weatherproof NEMA 14-50 receptacle for my outdoor install location. Removing the 14-50 cord was a simple matter of opening the case, unscrewing the wires from the terminal block and removing the connector fitting.I used 1" Liquid-Tite flexible conduit, which fits perfectly into the 1-1/4" hole in the enclosure (don't use 1-1/4" conduit like the hardwire conversion instructions say; 1" is the correct size). I wired it with #6 AWG THWN-2 (with a #10 ground) and a 60A breaker, which unlocks the full 48A max charging capability. Though my current vehicle only has a 32A inverter, I'd rather be future-proofed than have to re-do the wiring later.Once the wire was run, actually mounting and wiring the unit took about 30 minutes altogether. As another reviewer said, using flexible conduit makes re-attaching the face much easier after hardwiring, since the 8 hex screws all face the rear of the unit. I connected the wires, reattached the face, and then finally secured the unit to the mounting bracket.The only thing that differs from the description is instead of receiving the cable hanger that mounts underneath the unit, I received a different standalone hanger that functions as both a cable hanger and a dock for the J1772 connector. I actually prefer this style, so this was more of a pleasant surprise than an issue. But something to be aware of.The app is functional, if a little clunky, but it provides all of the necessary functions like real-time energy monitoring, manual and automatic charging control, and total charge cost based on local utility rates.

Had a JuiceBox that went belly up, so I needed a replacement EV Charger. This has proven to be a much nicer unit. I already had the Emporia Energy Management system for the house and liked that, so that is why I selected their EV charger. The EV Charger integrates well with their App and provides me all the functionality I need.

We moved and our new garage didn't have a charger for our EV nor a 240 outlet. The electrician let us know about a rebate from our electricity provider if we got a charger like this one. Our electrician recommended this particular one. It has a 25' cord so it can reach my car whether it's in the garage or just outside of it. And it has an app to connect it to my phone.

I purchased my first EV and already had the 240v set up in the garage, so this was an easy choice. The charger came quickly the next day and was packaged very well and seems to be very well made. Set up was extremely easy, and I had my truck charging within a half an hour of opening the box. The app for this charger has multiple other functions, so you can use it for their other available products as well.I'm new to EVs, so as I learn the charge rates and capabilities of the different chargers, I'm sure I'll be understand and rate this mor accurately, but for the price, this charger seems to be a great investment.

I purchased this charger in late 2013 and it has worked flawlessly for me since then. Just the other day one of my kids dropped the charging handle off a shelf and it landed just the wrong way and a piece snapped on the end making it unusable. I reached out to customer support and received amazing support from a representative named Ben. I had exchanged emails and then ended up on the phone with him. He was empathetic and very knowledgeable and was able to figure out with some pictures exchanged exactly what I needed. The parts were ordered and on the way along with a video showing how to fix it all. This company stands behind their product and I can’t advocate for the enough!!
