Yes, I have two and they have been working very well. Support at Emporia has been very responsive as well. They are out of Colorado.

The 2 I have are before they received UL listing but the quality is decent. I have had one for a little over a year, bought the second one about 4 months ago. Still waiting for my R1S but use it to charge the Model S with an adapter.

Thanks for the info. Just ordered one.

 

I installed a 50Amp UL version back in June 2022 and it works great, including the app.

It is definitely not as polished as the 2 ChargePoint chargers I have used/installed previously.

For example, it doesn't come with knock outs in the back in case you want to flush mount it with the wire entering the box in the back. I ended up drilling a hole in the plastic to accommodate my install. Also, the cover is unnecessarily hard to take off with a bunch of screws only accessible from the back, so you really need access all around the box and can't mount it close to a wall. I suspect that's for safety, but Chargepoint has a more elegant solution by providing 2 separate covers that are easily removable from the front before you get to the wiring.

I only got the Emporia because of the much lower price ($449 vs. $800) and the fact that the company is in Colorado where I live.

So, I am happy with the device (haven't used their service) and would recommend it.

 

This is great feedback, and we are planning on adding a knockout in the rear of the charger for hardwired installations. We are aware that the Philips screws are difficult to get out, and are considering alternative ways of having this done to make it easier to get the cover removed.

 

Man... I ordered a Wall Box just yesterday.... Hadn't seen this one. Looks solid and reasonable. No load balancing though so I still probably would have stuck with the Wall Box.

 

Please provide an update once you install the wall box, I was looking at that one as well. Thanks

 

I keep hearing “emporia” lately. Why? I didn’t see any compelling reason to choose them?

 

I choose them because they were a decent price, good build quality, and made an supported in Colorado.

 

If you have solar, you can set it to turn on to charge when there is overproduction. I'll let you know in late 2023 if it works...

 

I have had their Level 2 UL unit for the last 4 months, charging at 48amps it been great for the money, ($450) and the app is excellent in its function, data feedback and capabilities. Customer Service with Emporia has also been top notch!

 

I came across this review

 

I put in the chargepoint charger and I’m getting 32 miles and hour of charge. It’s on a 50amp 220v circuit

32mph on an R1T? Implausible.
