Charging performance

Both chargers deliver excellent Level 2 charging performance, but the Emporia has the advantage for drivers seeking maximum charging speeds.

The VEIPHLOX operates at 40 amps and delivers 9.6 kW, adding approximately 30 to 40 miles of driving range per hour. 

The Emporia offers the same 40A (9.6 kW) performance in plug-in mode but can be hardwired to deliver 48 amps and 11.5 kW, increasing charging speeds to approximately 38 to 46 miles of range per hour. 

Smart features

The VEIPHLOX offers a comprehensive smart package with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smartphone app support, and RFID card access, allowing users to schedule charging sessions, monitor charging remotely, and prevent unauthorised charger use.

Meanwhile, the Emporia charger focuses heavily on energy management. Its mobile app provides detailed electricity usage reports, charging schedules, and cost tracking.

Durability and safety

Both chargers are designed for year-round outdoor use. The VEIPHLOX carries an IP65 weatherproof rating and incorporates multiple electrical safety protections against overheating and power faults.

The Emporia offers an even more robust NEMA Type 4 (IP66 equivalent) enclosure, along with UL Listing and ENERGY STAR certification, making it particularly well suited for permanent outdoor installations.

Which charger should you buy?

The VEIPHLOX Level 2 EV Charger is an excellent choice for drivers looking for a feature-packed plug-in charger with built-in cable management, RFID security, Bluetooth connectivity, and straightforward installation.

On the other hand, the Emporia Level 2 EV Charger is the better option for homeowners seeking premium energy management. Its higher 48A hardwired output, advanced mobile app, detailed energy monitoring, and seamless solar integration make it one of the most capable smart home chargers available.
