Emporia EV Charger
A budget-friendly 48A charger that punches well above its price, with energy monitoring built in.
Emporia made its name in home energy monitoring, and its EV charger brings that DNA: a 48A unit at a price that consistently undercuts the big names, with a genuinely useful app and smart load management if you also use Emporia's energy products. For a lot of homeowners it's the value pick — most of the features that matter, less of the cost.

- +Plug-in or hardwired
- +Energy monitoring and load management
The trade-offs
- –Brand is newer to chargers than some rivals

What does it cost to install a Emporia EV Charger?
Expect $550–$950 in labor and standard materials, plus $50–$400 for the electrical permit. That's on top of the charger itself, and it assumes the unit goes up reasonably close to your panel.
The brand on the box barely moves that number — the install is the same job either way: a dedicated 240V circuit, a breaker sized to the charger, and an inspection. What does move it is how far the cable has to travel and whether your panel has room. See installation cost by state, or check your state's rebates — many cover part of it.
