Works great for my Chevy Bolt EV! Charges as expected. Professional installation very necessary. Only minor complaints I have is the cable itself is a little stiff so it makes putting it away a little inconvenient. Otherwise great quality and far less expensive than its competitors.

Great product and excellent service. The unit camebwell-packaged, really easy to unpack. No assembly required. Installation made easy by choice of hardwiring or plug-in. I have had a couple of questions and their responses have been both quick and solid. Happy customer here.

Great price and after a year I can safely say it was a solid investment, along with the EV.

I had an electrician install a dedicated 50 amp circuit with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle prior to ordering this device. I also installed a 2’x2’ plywood mounting board near the EVSE so I wouldn’t need to depend on the garage drywall to hold the weight of the equipment and the 25’ cable. It is heavy enough that depending upon the drywall would not be a solid solution. The installation was easy, although I did not use the included holster for the plug. It sticks out from the wall and I have a tight garage. I didn’t want to dodge the plug sticking out from the wall. I hung the cable from a separate heavy duty hanger and the plug stays parallel with the wall when not in use.The control software works well both in the Android and iOS versions. I created an account to configure the device and haven’t needed to use it after the first few days. It does have some graphs showing usage. Lights on the front show on/off, wireless status and charging status. The car is an Ioniq 5 and it’s been charging without any issues. I would recommend it for anyone. A different version comes with a NACA/Tesla cable.

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 practicalNo regrets with our purchase and would recommend to others.

After reading and watching multiple reviews online I decided to buy the Emporia. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now and it works fine no issues at all. First I like the look of it but most importantly it’s well built, good quality, installation options (NEMA14-50 or Hardwired), easy to install, up to 48A, good price and the app is super easy to use. I had it installed hardwired by my electrician to get the maximum amperage from my charger. The amperage can easily be adjusted using the app from 12A to 48A by 4A increments depending on your circuit breaker. Connecting my Charger to my wifi literally took seconds. Compared to other chargers this charger gives you more charging amps at an excellent price. Also, if you loose power during the night and power comes back this Emporia will restart automatically charging your car which is not the case with some other brands that need to be reprogrammed and restarted. So no surprise in the morning when you’re ready to go to work.I’m so happy with my purchase, delivery was fast. I highly recommend the EV Charger!!

I researched many different types of Level 2 chargers and decided that this was the best bang for your buck. I was 100% right. I opted for the Nema 15-40 charger for it's flexibility. 40amps is plenty fast enough for my family and probably for most people, but if youre constantly on the go then maybe hardwiring is better to get closer to 48. We installed it on a 50A outlet as recommended by manufacturer. According to the app I'm actually getting between 38 and 39 amps (9.2kWh) which brought me from 50-80% in about 2 hours. For comparison with my Level 1, that I was using for a couple weeks prior, I was getting 1kWh on the 12A setting (120v). Very slow. 4-5 milers per hour. This is a welcome change.The app is extremely useful. Paired with the Hyundai Bluelink app, i can control and view everything about my charging experience (timelines, rates, cost etc). I particularly liked that it gives you your cost per kWh based on your location. My actual cost is 11 cents per kWh for off peak and 14 cents during peak. The app rated me at 13.5 cents which will give me a very accurate estimate of what to expect (probably a little high, which i actually prefer). The graphs are very cool to view (nerd) and seeing the consistency in charge delivery gives peace of mind.The charging cord is plenty long enough- if i wanted to pull it out of the garage and charge in my driveway I could. I ended up not installing the hangar for the charger because it sticks out so far into the garage but for those with larger garages or just 1 car it's a very useful addition.The EVSE itself is high quality and very durable. Installation was straightforward and it was paired with the app in 30 seconds (wifi required). Overall, it was the best value charger out there with fast homr delivery and a high charging rate. Some chargers that do the same as this one (or less) cost $100+ more and for what? Just happy to throw the Level 1 in the trunk and forget about it.Edit (a few weeks after purchase)** I forgot my car settings are set to only accept 90% of the AC current so it could actually charge a bit faster. I have no real reason to set it to 90% but I'm new to EVs and want my car/charger to last as long as possible. I've charged it from 30% to 100% and the charger/cable isn't even warm. Incredible product- even better than when I wrote the original review.

When I first purchased my EV I didn't plan to install a charger and figured the included 110V 15Amp charging would work for me. I don't drive that often and when I do it is not more than 100 miles and most often under 30. I plugged my charger into my garage refrigerator outlet which was a dedicated 20Amp circuit which only had the refrigerator on it. I was happy to see it worked fine without blowing the fuse. The down side of the 110 charger its slow. Good for about 3 - 4 mile of charge per hour. It was taking nearly 3 days to charge the car to 80%. After a few weeks I decided I needed something a bit faster and went with the Emporia.I did quite a bit of research before choosing the Emporia Smart Home Charger. Features, warranty and price were all considered. I installed a 50Amp breaker and NEMA 14-50 receptacle which supports 40 Amp charging. This way I can take the charger with me should I move. You really don't need to go with the hard wired 60Amp / 48 Amp charging circuit, because the 40 Amp can charge just about any vehicle from 10% to 80% in about 6 to 8 hours depending on battery size. If you don't have enough service, I have 200 Amp, then go with a 30 Amp breaker, which will still charge the vehicle overnight at about 5.8kW per hour. The Emporia App is easy to set up. I was able to connect to my Wi-Fi which is about 40 feet from my router in my laundry room. After connecting, it installed an update to the unit and I was ready to go. The App has many features, but I use the schedule charge and power calculation the most. I set it up to charge at 8PM, which is off peak. I can plug in the car anytime and it will wait till 8PM. The other feature is the charge history. This tells me how long it took to charge and how much power was consumed. There is a place to add your utility info, both manually at cost per kWh or in my case I selected my power company from a list and it automatically filled in the data, which I verified looking at my last statement. It cost me about $8 to charge from 10% to 80%. BTW, you should not charge to 100% on a regular basis as this can damage the life of the batteries. Charging to 100% is only recommended when planning a long trip. Likewise you should not drop bellow 10% before charging. This will vary by make and model. I am driving a BMW I5-M60, which has a 84kWh battery pack. It is advertised at 260 miles, which is not exactly accurate when you consider the usable range is 70%. My only minor issue with the App is my car is not listed in the device menu. I'm guessing they will add it at some point. This has no bearing on the use and operation of the unit.The unit took me less than 1 hour to install and set up once I completed adding the 50Amp breaker and outlet, which took 4 hours. I have a background in electrical engineering and plenty of experience working on electrical circuits. In my opinion, if you do not have the electrical experience, hire an electrician to add the circuit and outlet. You can then install the Emporia yourself and save a few bucks. It is literally "plug & play".Lastly, I found the unit to be of great quality, fit and finish. The 24 foot charging cable is heavy duty, yet easy to maneuver and hang up. I have had it for 6 weeks now and everything is great!Happy charging,chuckp

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.
