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.

What does it cost to install?

Whichever unit you choose, the install is the same job: a licensed electrician runs a dedicated 240V circuit, mounts and connects the charger, and handles the permit. The price tracks the cable run and whether your panel needs work — not the brand on the box. Get an instant estimate for your home, and check your state's rebates — many cover part of the cost.
