How to pick the right EV charger

Connector Type

Deciding between the NEMA 14-50P plug and the hardwire connection depends on several factors:

Existing Electrical Setup: If you already have a NEMA 14-50 outlet, using the plug is the simplest and most cost-effective option. If not, you may need to factor in the cost of installing this outlet.

Desired Charge Rate: Consider your vehicle's charging capabilities. Some vehicles cannot utilize the full 48A provided by a hardwired connection, making the 40A from a NEMA outlet sufficient.

Installation Flexibility: The NEMA plug offers greater flexibility for relocating the charger in the future. The hardwire option is better suited for a fixed installation where you do not anticipate moving the charger.

Local Electrical Codes: Always check local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Installation Cost: While the NEMA plug may have a higher upfront cost due to the need for a specialized outlet and GFCI breaker, the overall installation cost is often lower than a hardwired setup, especially if you already have the outlet installed.

Maintenance and Wear: Frequent plugging and unplugging of the NEMA outlet can cause wear over time. Hardwired installations eliminate this issue, providing a more durable connection.

Future Upgrades: If you plan to upgrade your electric vehicle or charging needs in the future, a hardwired installation might provide more flexibility in terms of accommodating higher charge rates.

Safety Features

Ground Fault Interrupt                                                15mA to 20mA trip sensitivity to protect against electric shock.

Internal Temperature                                                  Charging station internal temperature is continuously

                                                                                     monitored and shut off if the board temperature exceeds 98° C.

Missing Ground Detection                                         Safety ground is constantly monitored during operation.

                                                                                     Charging is shut off if the ground is missing.

Pilot Signal                                                                   EV connector / cable is de-energized when exposed to a strain that could result in the exposure of live parts.

Power Interlock                                                           EV connector / cable is de-energized when uncoupled from EV.

Self Check                                                                   Sequence performed during start up, every three hours, and

                                                                                     before charging to ensure unit is working properly and safely upon power-up.

Stuck Relay Detection                                                Check to ensure relays are functioning properly and providing proper power gating.

Surge Detection                                                          Constantly monitors for power surges during operation.

                                                                                     Charging is shut off if a surge is detected.

GFCI Protection

The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires a GFCI breaker installed on any circuit using a 6-50 or 14-50 outlet. Since the Emporia EV Charger already has built-in GFCI protections, it can cause false/unwarranted tripping when installed on a line with GFCI protections also provided on the breaker. 

Your electrician will be able to provide the best information for your installation scenario. If GFCI breaker installation is a requirement for your installation, then we recommend using the hardwired installation method since that is not required to be GFCI protected in the same way the NEMA outlet is. Due to conflicting requirements between NEC (NFPA70) and UL certifications related to the behavior of GFCI operations on EV Charging equipment, we can't provide more specific installation recommendations since it will depend on your location and you should consult your professional installer for more details.
