Home Charge -- Emporia Level 2 EV Charger -- speed?

[mwolff_83843]

I have a FCSP installed at my house. I get around 10 kw. I am considering buying a hard wired charger for my work and looking at the Emporia Level 2 Charger. Does anyone have any experience with the charge rate on the Emporia at 48 amps?

Its exactly what you'd expect... 48A.

My terminology may be wrong, but how many kw/hr?

Watts = Amps x Volts
48 Amps x 220 to 240 Volts = 10.5 to 11.1 kW input power to the charger.
The amount of charge added to the battery charge level will be something less than that.

Emporia has a great app. You'll love it.

If you want 80amps, like at home, buy this - Grizzl-E 80amp charger.

Since it is at your work its possible the building is on 3 phase electrical (common with commercial buildings). In which case the voltage would be 208v. 208v x 48amps = 10kW. That would be worst case scenario.

Also +1 vote for the emporia. Its an awesome unit at a great price.

Model year 2024 Lightning.

OP, do you have a {rare} fleet model with dual onboard chargers?
If you do, the the 80 amp version might be worth considering as Rick recommends.

Be careful; installing an 80 amp charger requires a circuit rated for at least 100 amps.

My Emporia Level 2 charger is connected to an energy monitor. It works with my solar power array to provide solar energy to my EVs, rather than sending it to the grid. Saves me a bundle!
