Overview
A hardwired 48-amp Level 2 home charging station with a J1772 connector, built for EVs such as the Bolt, Leaf and Mustang Mach-E that use the standard North American charge port rather than Tesla's NACS port.
Being hardwired instead of plug-in, it trades some flexibility for a higher continuous amperage, and the listing itself recommends a professional install for the whip connection. Wi-Fi lets an owner check real-time energy use and schedule charging sessions around off-peak utility rates from a phone. Tesla owners are pointed to Emporia's separate Tesla-specific charger, since this unit is J1772 only.
- 48A / 240V hardwired Level 2 charging
- Up to 46 miles of range added per hour
- UL listed and Energy Star certified
- 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with scheduling and live energy data
Who it's for
Owners of J1772-equipped EVs, including the Chevy Bolt, VW ID.4, Nissan Leaf, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai, BMW i3/i4/iX, Audi and Jeep Wrangler 4xe models, who want a permanent 48A home station and are fine with an electrician install. It is not suited to Tesla owners or anyone who wants a plug-in unit they can move between outlets.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 48A hardwired speed near the top of what J1772 Level 2 charging supports
- UL listed and Energy Star certified
- Wi-Fi scheduling for off-peak utility rates
- Wide compatibility across J1772 EVs
- Hardwired install requires an electrician, unlike plug-in chargers
- Not usable with a Tesla's NACS port without an adapter
- No owner review data yet
Performance notes
At 48A on a 240V hardwired circuit, Emporia rates the unit at up to 46 miles of added range per hour, about nine times a standard 120V outlet, though the actual gain still depends on the vehicle's onboard charger accepting the full 48A. It meets NEC 625, SAE J1772 and several UL standards, and the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection is what enables the scheduling and live energy monitoring from a phone.
