Best for a small or busy panel: its included monitor slows charging when the house needs power. With spare capacity, the Classic gives the same 48 A.
Updated

Our verdict
The Pro earns its place for one reason: Emporia includes a Vue 3 panel monitor, so the charger can watch the whole house and slow down when big appliances run. For a panel close to full, load management of this kind can avoid an upgrade, but your electrician makes that call from a load calculation.
The charger matches the Classic: up to 48 A hardwired on a dedicated 60 A breaker, or 40 A through a NEMA 14-50 plug, in a NEMA Type 4 case with a J1772 or NACS cable (24 ft in the guide, 25 ft on the store page). The electrician fits the Vue’s two 200 A sensors in the main panel, sets a service rating for PowerSmart and a guaranteed charge rate from an NEC Article 220 load calculation, which the Pro falls back to if PowerSmart is offline. The monitor can also track solar, letting the Pro charge from surplus solar.
The catches: the panel work is for a licensed electrician, PowerSmart needs Wi-Fi and the app, the monitor’s warranty is one year against the charger’s three, and the ENERGY STAR list doesn’t name the Pro’s model, which matters for rebates that require it. Emporia says the Pro is approved for use in Canada, but we track only its US store so far.

Emporia Pro EV Charger questions
Does the Emporia Pro need a panel upgrade?
Often not, but your electrician decides. The included Vue 3 monitor lets PowerSmart lower the charge rate when the house draws more, keeping total use within a service rating the electrician sets after inspecting the panel. The electrician also sets a guaranteed charge rate from an NEC Article 220 load calculation, which the charger uses whenever PowerSmart is offline.
What breaker does the Emporia Pro need?
A dedicated 60 A breaker for the full 48 A, hardwired. Emporia’s guide pairs each breaker with a maximum rate, from 12 A on a 15 A breaker up to 40 A on 50 A and 48 A on 60 A. The NEMA 14-50 version is limited to 40 A on a 50 A non-GFCI breaker. A licensed electrician confirms the circuit to local code.
Can the Emporia Pro charge from solar?
Yes, with breaker-fed or line-side-tap solar. The Vue 3 monitor’s main sensors are placed so the Emporia app sees both solar and grid flow, and the Pro can then charge from surplus solar. The Vue goes online by Ethernet or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with its antenna outside the metal panel, and the panel work is for a licensed electrician.
Is the Emporia Pro approved for use in Canada?
Emporia says yes. It states the Pro is UL listed for the US and Canada to UL 2594, meets CSA C22.2 No. 280:22 and is approved for use in Canada; the label on the unit is the final word. We track only Emporia’s US store for the Pro so far, and Emporia warns of shipping and import fees on cross-border orders.
