Verified customer Verified Customer"I had been researching how to charge my Tesla on just my solar energy when I found Emporia had reasonably priced hardware with good reviews, so I made the purchase. I'm now charging from my panels during the day while working from home instead of buying expensive utility power at night. The utility recently made it more expensive to charge overnight so now I just won't use any of their overpriced power."
JJ"I just got new Model Y and I tried install car charger at home. I have 200A service but since all my major appliances are electric some electrician quoted a panel upgrade to 400A which cost over $7k. Some others quoted with attached load management device which cost over $800 device only. After internet research I found the Emporia Pro will fit my needs and budget. Electrician installed and all works great."
Lynn"This is a terrific EV charger. It charges quickly and efficiently. My installers were able to get it installed easily. The app is also very easy to use. Also, the customer service folks are responsive and helpful. Really glad we chose Emporia to work with."

In most cases, yes. The Emporia Pro includes PowerSmart load management via the bundled Vue 3 Energy Monitor, which tracks your home's real-time energy use and automatically adjusts charging speed to stay within your panel's capacity. That lets many homeowners skip a $3,000–$8,000 panel upgrade that other Level 2 chargers would require.
The Pro is designed to work within your existing panel when paired with the bundled Vue 3 and PowerSmart. Hardwired, it supports up to 48 amps on a 60-amp circuit. With a NEMA 14-50 outlet, it supports up to 40 amps on a 50-amp circuit. Your electrician will confirm your panel and circuit can support the installation you choose.
The Emporia Pro comes bundled with the Vue 3 Energy Monitor, which installs in your electrical panel and sends real-time load data to the Emporia cloud. PowerSmart uses that data to automatically raise or lower the Pro's charge rate based on what else is running in your home, keeping total draw within your panel's safe capacity without manual adjustments.
Both deliver the same core Level 2 charging experience. The main differences are physical: the Pro has a square form factor with optional rear-entry hardwire installation, while the Classic has a rounded case with a front-facing connection. The Pro also includes PowerSmart load management via the bundled Vue 3 Energy Monitor.
Yes, on both. If you have solar panels, you can set the Emporia Pro to charge your EV using excess solar energy first, reducing what you pull from the grid. If you have a home battery, smart appliances, or Emporia Smart Plugs, the Vue 3 can coordinate across all of them, automating your energy use around your utility rate plan to cut costs further. It's a connected system, not just a charger.
The Emporia app (available on iOS and Android) shows you charging status, session history, energy use, and scheduling, all in one place. The Pro connects to your home Wi-Fi, and the app works from anywhere. There's no subscription required to use the smart features. If you're adding the Vue 3, it brings your whole home's energy picture into the same app: EV charging alongside circuits, appliances, and solar if you have it.
Hardwired, the Emporia Pro supports up to 48 amps (requires a 60A circuit). With a NEMA 14-50 outlet, it supports up to 40 amps (50A circuit). The 25-foot charging cable works with any EV; the Pro is available with either a J1772 or NACS (Tesla-style) connector. It's NEMA 4 rated, so it's safe for indoor or outdoor installation, and there's a rear-entry hardwire option that keeps cables hidden.
The Emporia Pro comes with a 3-year warranty. Support is available via chat, phone, and email from our Colorado-based team.
Yes. Installing a Level 2 EV charger requires a licensed electrician to run a dedicated 240V circuit. Most installs take a few hours. One thing to keep in mind: with PowerSmart, your electrician is unlikely to need to upgrade your panel, which is where installation costs usually balloon. That's a significant savings on labor and materials before you even factor in the charger itself.
