How PowerSmart Load Management Works
PowerSmart is a software upgrade that unlocks the full power of the Emporia Pro EV Charger when paired with the Vue Energy Monitor installed in your electrical panel.
Here's how it works: PowerSmart uses real-time from our Vue Energy Monitor device in your electrical panel and measures your energy use thousands of times per second. The Vue comes in the box with the Emporia Pro EV Charger, and can be installed by your electrician at the same time as your charger install.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Load Balancing: PowerSmart regulates power to your Emporia Pro EV Charger so it uses the maximum, safe power based on your home’s electrical usage during a charging session. It monitors your energy usage real-time (3k times per second) data and allocates only the available panel capacity to your EV charger to never exceed the maximum panel capacity.
- Economical: Instead of spending thousands on a major electrical panel upgrade, PowerSmart makes EV installation possible on your existing panel.
- Max Charge: Temporarily reallocates power from other appliances to your EV when not in use, maximizing charging efficiency.
- Safe Charging: Protects against overloading your electrical system, avoiding potential power outages and safety hazards.
- Easy Monitoring and Control: Monitor your home’s energy usage and manage your EV charging schedule with the intuitive Emporia app interface, accessible via smartphone or computer.
