Emporia Energy, a leading provider of home energy management solutions, today announced the launch of the Emporia Pro, a meticulously engineered Level 2 Electric Vehicle (EV) charger. The Emporia Pro’s intelligent system delivers up to 9x faster charging speeds than standard outlets, providing customers access to powerful charging while saving thousands in unnecessary panel upgrade costs.Nearly 50% of all U.S. households face a significant roadblock to EV adoption: the need for expensive electrical panel upgrades—often costing thousands of dollars—to install a standard Level 2 EV charger (7-11 kW). This challenge affects homes with insufficient electrical service—common in older properties with 100A service—or electrical panels that have no capacity for additional circuits.Emporia’s Pro Level 2 EV Charger, the next evolution of Emporia’s award-winning Classic model, solves this issue with revolutionary PowerSmart Load Management technology. The innovative charging system intelligently monitors available power through the Vue Home Energy Monitor installed directly in your electrical panel. PowerSmart uses real-time data from the Vue to dynamically adjust charging rates as other household appliances turn on and off throughout the day, ensuring your vehicle charges at the maximum safe rate without ever exceeding your electrical panel’s capacity.
“EV adoption continues to accelerate, but the infrastructure challenges remain significant, said Shawn McLaughlin, Chief Executive Officer at Emporia. “For many years now, consumers have been shell-shocked by the surprise that they have to spend thousands of dollars upgrading their electrical panel to access high-speed Level 2 charging. The Pro’s intelligent energy management puts an end to this and is a game-changer for both convenience and cost savings.”The Emporia Pro Smart EV Charger comes bundled with Emporia’s Vue Home Energy Monitor, providing total visibility into home energy consumption. This integration enables homeowners to:

When paired with external smart home products, such as solar panels, smart appliances, or smart plugs, the Emporia Pro unlocks maximum energy efficiency benefits by enabling time-of-use functionality based on utility rate plans and even allowing for solar-only energy.“The launch of the Emporia Pro represents the future of smart energy management by combining high-speed charging with visibility into your home’s energy usage,” said Ben Thacker, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Emporia. “This isn’t just about the convenience of at-home EV charging; it’s empowering homeowners to take control of their energy usage and save money on their utility bills.”The Emporia Pro sets a new standard for EV chargers with its combination of innovative home management features, powerful charging capabilities, durability, and safety, with features and benefits including:
