Charger configuration options: NEMA vs. Hardwire

Connector type options: J1772 vs. NACS

Charger configuration options: NEMA vs. Hardwire

  • The Emporia Classic EV Charger comes in one of two connector configurations: a NEMA plug or Hardwired connection.
  • NEMA Plug: If you already have a NEMA 14-50 outlet where you plan to install the charger, this is the option for you. A NEMA Plug is easy to install (just plug it in!) and portable, but limits your charge rate to 40A.
  • Hardwire: A Hardwired installation is a more permanent EV charging solution. While not portable like a NEMA plug model, you can charge at up to 48A. It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to install a hardwired Emporia Classic EV Charger.
  • The Nuisance of NEMA 14-50 and GFCI Breakers:
  • GFCIs normally add a layer of protection for users. However, they can also lead to nuisance tripping when used in conjunction with a Level 2 charger that will shut down the associated circuit and halt charging on your vehicle. This will cause headaches for homeowners who will have to continually reset the tripped breakers.
  • Emporia's EV chargers have their own built-in GFCI protection, which could cause nuisance tripping if the circuit is also protected by a GFCI breaker at the panel

Connector type options: J1772 vs. NACS

  • The Emporia Classic EV Charger comes in one of two connector types to support all EVs:
  • J1772 / CCS: The standard connector for most electric vehicles in North America. This connector is used for Level 1 (120 volt) and Level 2 (240 volt) AC charging.
  • NACS (North American Charging Standard) Connector: The NACS connector is becoming the new standard in North America. Also referred to as SAE J3400, it is compatible with both AC Level 2 and DC fast charging. Tesla vehicles use the NACS connector, and many other manufacturers are transitioning to this standard starting in 2025.

Nice EV Charger at a great price

Just got a new EV and needed to get a new charger. The Emporia had great reviews and was less in price then some of the other big name chargers. Decided to try it but had some questions prior regarding Hardwire vs Plug in as well as others. Customer service and there response was excellent. Zachary from their team quickly responded to my emails and answered any questions i had. I received the classic charger a few weeks back. Opted for the plug in as I already had an outlet for an EV charger. Plus it can be converted and hardwired later if I choose. Mounting was easy, the app is easy to use, and most importantly, my car has been charging. Highly recommend the product.

GFCI Protection

  • The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires a GFCI breaker installed on any circuit using a 6-50 or 14-50 outlet. Since the Emporia EV Charger already has built-in GFCI protections, it can cause false/unwarranted tripping when installed on a line with GFCI protections also provided on the breaker. 

  • Your electrician will be able to provide the best information for your installation scenario. If GFCI breaker installation is a requirement for your installation, then we recommend using the hardwired installation method since that is not required to be GFCI protected in the same way the NEMA outlet is. Due to conflicting requirements between NEC (NFPA70) and UL certifications related to the behavior of GFCI operations on EV charging equipment, we can't provide more specific installation recommendations since it will depend on your location and you should consult your professional installer for more details.
