Installation Quote

NEMA Plug vs. Hardwire

NEMA Plug

If you have a NEMA 14-50 outlet where you plan to install the charger, this might be the option for you. A NEMA Plug is easy to install and portable, but limits your charge rate to 40A. If your electrical panel has GFCI breakers, we recommend the hardwired option.

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.

J1772 or NACS Connector

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 begun transitioning to this standard in 2025.

GFCI Breakers

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 GFCI protected appliance, like 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.
